Brick Bond

[bluemoon]

HI lads,just done a bathroom in Metropolitan tile[200x100mm],layed in a brick bond.Which way do you experienced lads find best to do this type of bond.I have done a fair bit of brick bond lately but whichever way i choose to set out i seem really slow.I have tried laying 3 or 4 courses and doing end cuts as i go along,but i was wondering if it would be any quicker by starting at 1 end and working my way across.cheers

no quick way really, just centralise any obvious area's i.e. cooker /window area's and take your time as long as the jobs good dont worry, you will pick speed up as you get more experianced

Experience with brickbond is the best way to get quicker... IMO anyway. Just make sure you lay it out well and use your level to make sure they stay in line all the way up/down the wall.
