The running bond is used largely in cavity wall construction, brick veneer walls, and facing tile walls made with extra wide stretcher tile <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; display: block; font-family: serif; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"> > > <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17.6px;">The common, or American, bond is a variation of the running bond, having a course of full-length headers at regular intervals that provide the structural bond as well as the pattern. Header courses usually appear at every fifth, sixth, or seventh course, depending on the structural bonding requirements >
