Broken Bond:
Definition:

This occurs when brick sizes will not fit the designed wall length. This is a common situation and requires careful planning for quality face work. In overcoming this the Rules of Bonding must be adhered to and any odd sized cuts so placed as to minimize the departure from true bond, e.g. irregular cuts, with care, can be placed under window openings and restricted to a minimum number of courses leaving the majority of the wall true to bond.
