Calculation Formula

Total Course Height = (Brick Height + Mortar Thickness) × Number of Courses

Where:
Brick Height = Height of each brick (mm)
Mortar Thickness = Thickness of mortar joint (mm)
Number of Courses = Total number of brick layers

Brick Course Height Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Brick Course Height Calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the width of your bricks in millimeters (mm).
  2. Enter the height of your bricks in millimeters (mm).
  3. Enter the thickness of your mortar joints in millimeters (mm).
  4. Enter the number of brick courses you plan to use.
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the total height.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides the total height of all brick courses in three units:

  • Millimeters (mm) - the most precise measurement
  • Centimeters (cm) - useful for common construction measurements
  • Meters (m) - for larger structures

Example

If you have standard bricks that are 230 mm wide and 115 mm high, with 10 mm mortar joints, and you want to calculate the height of 5 courses:

Course height = (115 mm + 10 mm) = 125 mm
Total height = 125 mm × 5 courses = 625 mm (or 62.5 cm or 0.625 m)

Practical Applications

This calculator is useful for:

  • Estimating material requirements for brickwork
  • Planning construction projects with precise measurements
  • Designing buildings and structures with brick courses
  • Ensuring uniformity in brickwork
