Any builders out there no how to find double faced bricks cheap.?

Question

I'm building a dividing brick wall on my drive - my house bricks are tobago red but no merchants seem to stock bricks for a single skin wall with face on both sides. Surely loads of people do this type of wall.

Answer 1

I have built my walls by alternating the face so that the good face and the back face form a pattern (like a Zig-Zag or similar). If different types of brick are used, the effect can be quite good. Also, if the back of the wall is visible to your neighbour, then they will see the same pattern on their side. Perhaps they could contribute towards the cost if what you do improves the appearance/value of their property.

Answer 2

no sorry

Answer 3

i am a bricklayer and have never seen double faced bricks. you would usually build a 215mm thick wall with a face on each side

like English bond if you wanted it to look good on each side
