Queen Size Brick

3 years ago

Other than lining up aesthetically at corners and windows/doors, are there other potential pitfalls with queen size brick? We have been told that the queen size brick doesn't have enough "meat" and therefore does not stay in alignment as well as a modular/oversized brick. There are waves in the joint lines when we look down the side of the house and we are told it is due to using Queen brick, that the bricks shift after you lay them and there is no way to prevent that from happening. I would love to hear from masons whether this sounds reasonable or not. If that is true, we are considering removing the brick that has been laid already and switching to oversized. Thanks in advance for any comments.
