A queen closer is a -

Brick laid with its length parallel to the face or direction of wall.

Brick laid with its breadth parallel to the face or direction of wall.

Brick having the same length and depth as the other bricks but half the breadth.

Brick with half the width at one end and full width at the other.

Solution

Correct option is C

A queen closer is a specific type of brick used in brick masonry. It is a brick that has the same length and depth as a standard brick but is cut in half along the breadth (width). It is used to break the continuity of vertical joints, especially near corners or ends of a wall, providing additional structural integrity. The queen closer is commonly placed next to the quoin (corner brick) in each alternate course in a bonded wall.
· Full Brick Dimensions: Standard brick dimensions are (Length x Breadth x Depth) = 190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm.
· Queen Closer Dimensions: The queen closer has half the breadth of a full brick, so its dimensions become (Length x Half Breadth x Depth) = 190 mm x 45 mm x 90 mm.
