In masonry, mortar joints are the spaces between bricks, concrete blocks, or glass blocks, that are filled with mortar or grout. If the surface of the masonry remains unplastered, the joints contribute significantly to the appearance of the masonry.^[1] Mortar joints can be made in a series of different fashions, but the most common ones are raked, grapevine, extruded, concave, V, struck, flush  weathered and beaded.

Some mortar joint styles

In order to produce a mortar joint, the mason must use one of several types of jointers (slickers), rakes, or beaders. These tools are run through the grout in between the building material before the grout is solid and create the desired outcome the mason seeks.

Also known as Scratch Coat commons, these bricks are economical and great for use when the intention is to render the wall.

The way in which a brick is laid – the brickwork bond – also strongly influences the appearance of the facade.
A well thoughtout brickwork bond gives projects extra style and character.

Brickwork bonds not only have an aesthetic effect; The choice in brickwork bond can also influence the budget. More complicated bonds, which usually necessitate more grinding work, can substantially raise the price.

Stretcher bond

This is the most common and used brickwork method. The vertical joints are staggered each time by half a brick. There is hardly any loss of material because the bricks do not have to be cut to size.

Stack bond (or stacked bond)

This bond visually emphasises the vertical aspect of the masonry. The facing bricks are laid one on top of the other so that not only the horizontal edge joints, but also the vertical head joints are continuous.

This can be done with stretchers as well as with headers. However, the latter will up the price due to all the grinding and cutting work.

As there is no bonding, typically stainless steel ladder reinforcement is built into every third bed-joint.
