Well, it would solve the matter of having to fill a gap in the line with part of a brick!10mm is standard but there's nothing stopping you having wider joints
The question is why?
hi how wide can the joints, be for a greenhouse build I know it says 10mm for load bearing structures ,but is there any leeway on this, as I have seen old houses with wider joint than 10 mm!
So what does mean for gap, I'm pretty sure 10mm has to do with strength or compression! And what's brick gauge?10mm joint isn't for strength, it's for keeping to metric gauge.
Bricks are 65mm high + 10mm joint = 75mm brick gauge.
Can you explain that in English?Brick guage is one brick plus i mortar joint, as per Notch.
Instead of filling the gap with part of a brick cut down just under the cill, can you use cut bricks laid on edge to take up one course and part of one course?
If you could tell us what dwarf wall height you are trying to achieve that help us to advise.So what does mean for gap, I'm pretty sure 10mm has to do with strength or compression! And what's brick gauge?
If you could tell us what dwarf wall height
Ah ok, I haven't seen any other threads about it.I think the OP is talking about course length, not height, going by other threads.
It'll be 5-6 courses high! 8ft X 6.5FtIf you could tell us what dwarf wall height you are trying to achieve that help us to advise.
Is it the difference between door frame and window height that is setting your dwarf wall height.
Obviously,i don't want to lose too much length on it as it's small enough as is!I think the OP is talking about course length, not height, going by other threads.
