**Handmade Bricks:** are literally made by hand by skilled craftsmen throwing clay into moulds. or appearance is rough and rugged. Have good properties ornamentals.

 **Perforated brick**: has more than 10% of perforations in the table. They are widely used in building facades

 **Hollow brick**: is the one with holes in the edges or heads, to reduce the volume of ceramic and make them lighter. They are used in walls and construction elements that are not subject to efforts > Brick laying techniques are the methods used to place a brick on other one, and that remain well aligned > > The running bond is the simplest of the six patterns, consisting of all stretchers. Because the bond has no headers, metal ties usually form the structural bond. The running bond is used largely in cavity wall construction, brick veneer walls, and facing tile walls made with extra wide stretcher tile > > > The common, or American, bond is a variation of the running bond, having a course of full-length headers at regular intervals that provide the structural bond as well as the pattern. Header courses usually appear at every fifth, sixth, or seventh course, depending on the structural bonding requirements > > Is a cheap material and Strong in Compression. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">Disadvantages are: heavy and weak in tension <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: inherit; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
