Accuracy

We write the brick guide carefully and in our own words, but brick sizes, standards, practices and building rules vary by country and change over time. We do not guarantee that the information on mortarsmash.com is complete, accurate or up to date. Please check important details with an authoritative source.

No professional relationship

The Site offers general information only. It is not professional construction, building, engineering, legal or financial advice, and reading it or using the calculator does not create a professional, advisory or client relationship between you and Joshua Israel Ventures LLC.

Calculator estimates

The brick calculator gives approximate estimates from the sizes, joint and waste allowance you enter and standard rules of thumb. Actual quantities of bricks, mortar, cement and sand will vary. Always confirm quantities with your supplier or builder, consult a qualified builder or structural engineer for anything structural, and follow your local building codes.

Safety

Building, demolition and repointing work can be dangerous. Use appropriate protective equipment, follow safe working practices and get professional help where needed. You are responsible for how you use the information on this Site.

Affiliate links and advertising

The Site currently has no affiliate links, sponsored content or advertising, and we are not paid to mention any product or company. If that changes, any paid or affiliate links and ads will be clearly disclosed, in line with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements.

The game

Mortar Smash is an original game written for this Site. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of any other brick-breaking game.
