Red Brick calculation program
What are large, two-hole clay bricks?
Large 2-hole brick These are larger-sized red construction bricks compared to the standard model (typically around 5x6x15 cm or 4.5x6.5x16 cm, depending on the block) to meet the needs of modern construction projects. “"Speed"” Due to its larger size, the amount used per square meter has decreased to only... 95-100 blocks/sq m. (From the original 120-130 bricks) This allows wall builders to access the area faster, saves on daily labor costs, and significantly reduces the amount of mortar used to bond the bricks.
Comparison Table: Small vs. Large (Which one offers better value?)
| Comparison list | Two-hole clay bricks (small size) | Two-hole clay bricks (large size) |
| Size (approximate) | 3 x 6 x 14 cm. | 5 x 6 x 15 cm. |
| Amount used per square meter. | 120 – 130 pieces | 95 - 100 blocks (Used less often) |
| Speed of construction | Standard | Faster 20-30% |
| Waste of cement | Use a lot of mortar. | Saves more cement. (Fewer seams) |
| Best For | General work, detailed work. | Contract work, urgent work |
Loading and shipping information.
Heavy-duty truck delivery service; full loads offer cost-effective transportation.
- 6-wheel truck: It can carry 6,000 – 7,000 blocks.
- 10-wheel truck: It can carry 13,000 – 14,000 blocks.
- 18-wheeler truck: It can carry 28,000 – 30,000 blocks.
(The cargo capacity is lower than smaller bales due to the larger size and weight per bale.)
Three key features that make "large blocks" popular among contractors.
- Can finish the job quickly: With their substantial size, just a few bricks can cover a full square meter, allowing for faster project delivery and quicker payment installments.
- Reduce hidden costs: Although the price per block is higher than smaller blocks, when you calculate the total cost including "labor, mortar, and time spent," it is often more cost-effective for large areas. Bricklaying work will be perfect when you choose this method. Quality brick mortar Sticky, slippery, and has good adhesion.
- Strong and with good grip: The larger surface area in contact between the mortar blocks allows for a tighter bond, resulting in a stable and strong wall.
How to calculate the number of bricks (for large bricks).
- formula: (Wall width x Wall height) x 100 = Number of blocks to order
- Example: A wall that is 4 meters wide and 3 meters high = 12 square meters.
calculate: 12 x 100 = 1,200 pieces (allowing for breakage)
(Compared to the 1,560 smaller blocks required, this saves over 300 blocks in on-site transportation costs.)

FAQ
Use an approximation. 95-100 pieces Per 1 square meter (including 1.5-2 cm thick mortar). If you prefer larger bricks but want added heat insulation properties, we recommend this model. Large 3-hole brick Which one has better ventilation?
Hiring daily wage workers is more economical in terms of both labor and time. Faster completion means lower labor costs, and it also saves on mortar due to fewer joints.

The bricks are beautiful. I recommend them. The price is good.
