Just a quick question lads, ive got to stick a few brick slips on on a kitchen wall, in a herringbone 45 deg. pattern, I know there is 60 bricks in a Square metre of stretcher bond brickwork, would it be the same amount in herringbone bond ??, cheers !

Still 60 but you will want a few more for the cutting.

LC is 100% correct for normal bricks,but some of them brick slips are metric I.E 50 by 200mm
sticking them is easy its the pointing thats a pain ,I have had to do it on external bays before

Cheers lads !, I have done some before in English bond, and that was painful when it came to pointing, but surprisingly effective when finished.
