Brick wall thickness


The convention for describing the thickness of a wall is relative to the length of a brick so goes like this. It may seem counterintuitive, and often causes confusion, but as its long established deviating from it will lead to even greater confusion.

A ½ brick wall which was sometimes called a 4 inch wall is:

A half brick thick brick wall
A half brick wall

A 1 brick wall which was sometimes called a 9 inch wall:

A one brick thick brick wall
A one brick thick brick wall

A 1½ brick wall which was sometimes called a 14 inch wall:

A one and half brick thick brick wall
A one and half brick thick brick wall

And so on, so the next is a 2 brick wall (18 inch wall) and then a 2½ brick wall (22 inch wall).
