Dear friends, Here we will understand the number of bricks required for 15×15 feet room. While constructing 15×15 feet room, this post will help you to know the approximate number of bricks required.

 

How Many Bricks Required For 15×15 Feet Room?

2802 bricks required for 15×15 feet room approximately. See the full explanation in this post where we have considered four walls, one gate and one window in the room and using the standard wall height of 10 feet (only brick work), 12 mm mortar thickness and Indian standard brick size of 190×90×90 mm. In first case the thickness of wall is 4 inch and in second case the thickness of wall is 9 inch.

Calculation For Bricks Required in 15×15 Feet Room (4 Inch Wall)

We need some requirements and considerations in the calculation of 15×15 feet room:

Requirements and Considerations For Brick Work

We need to ensure about some pre-construction requirements in the brick work along with some future consideration in construction of the room.

Our Requirements For the Room

Our requirements for 15×15 feet room are following:

• Four sided walls
• One gate
• One window

In this room, we are ignoring ventilation because its not required in the most of room.

Our Consideration For the Room

We consider following to calculate the number of bricks in 15×15 feet room:

• All the four walls size= 10 feet height × 15 feet width or 120 inch × 180 inch and
• One window (window size= 4 feet × 3 feet or 48 inch × 36 inch).
• One gate ( gate size= 7 feet × 3 feet or 84 inch × 36 inch).
• Brick size (Indian modular brick size or Indian standard brick size = 190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm or 7.48 inch × 3.54 inch × 3.54 inch).
• Mortar thickness 12 mm and
• Wall thickness is 4 inch.

Calculate the Area of Each Wall (Total Four Walls):

To calculate number of bricks required for 15×15 feet room, we need to calculate the area walls.

• Length of the Room = 15 feet
• Width of the Room = 15 feet
• Height of the Wall = 10 feet

The Area of Each Wall Would Be

1. Wall 1: Length x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
2. Wall 2: Length x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
3. Wall 3: Width x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
4. Wall 4: Width x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet

The Total Area of All Four Walls Would Be

Total area of walls in 15×15 feet room

= Wall 1 + Wall 2 + Wall 3 + Wall 4 

= 150 + 150 + 150 + 150 = 600 square feet

Subtract the Area of the Window and Gate From the Total Wall Area

Since there are one gate in the room and one window in the room. So, we need to calculate the area of the gate and the window separately. The total area of all wall only would be the sum of the areas of each wall subtracted by the areas of the gate and the window.

• Height of the Gate= 7 feet
• Width of the Gate= 3 feet
• Height of the Window= 4 feet
• Width of the Window= 3 feet

The Area of Gate and Window Would Be

• Area of Gate in 15×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 7 feet × 3 feet = 21 square feet
• Area of Window in 15×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 4 feet × 3 feet = 12 square feet

The Total Area of the Gate and Window Would be

Total area of gate and window in 15×15 Feet Room

= Area of Gate + Area of Window

= 21 square feet + 12 square feet = 33 square feet

Subtracting the area of the window and gate from the total wall area, we get the net area of the walls that need to be covered with bricks:

Net area of walls in 15×15 Feet Room

= Total area of walls - Total area of gate and window 

= 600 square feet - 33 square feet = 567 square feet

Total Volume of Brick Work

The total volume of brick work in 15×15 Square Feet Room

= Total Area of brick in square feet × Thickness of wall in feet

= 567 × (4/12) = 189 cubic feet

Determine the Number of Bricks For 15×15 Feet Room

To determine the number of bricks required for 15×15 feet room area, we need to first calculate the volume of a brick with mortar.

Volume of each brick without mortar

= Length × Width × Height = 190mm × 90mm × 90mm= 1539000 mm3 or 0.05438 cubic feet.

Volume of each brick with mortar (12 mm mortar thickness)

= Length × Width = 202mm × 102mm × 102mm = 2101608 mm3 or 0.07422 cubic feet.

Total number of bricks in 15×15 feet room 

= Total Volume of Brick Work/ Volume of each brick = 189 cubic feet/ 0.07422 cubic feet = 2546.5 Bricks, (Say 2547 Bricks).

Taking 10% wastage of bricks during the masonry work, the total number of bricks is 2547 + 10%  of 2547 = 2801.7 Bricks, Say 2802 Bricks.

Final Result

The total number of bricks required  for 15×15 feet room of 4 inch wall is 2802 Nos. approximately.

So, we would need approximately 2802 bricks to cover the walls of a 15×15 feet room with four walls (4 inch thick), one gate and one window, assuming a standard wall height of 10 feet, mortar thickness of 12mm and the standard brick size of 190×90×90 mm.

It's important to note that this calculation is an estimate and may vary depending on factors such as the pattern of the brickwork, the size of the mortar joints and the amount of waste generated during construction. It's always a good idea to order a few extra bricks than what you think you'll need in the construction.

How Many Bricks Required For 15×15 Feet Room of 9 Inch Thick Wall?

The brick calculation for 15×15 feet room for 9 inch thick wall is given below:

Requirements and Considerations For Brick Work

We need to ensure about some pre-construction requirements in the brick work along with some future consideration in construction of the room.

Our Requirements For the Room

Our requirements for 15×15 feet room are following:

• Four sided walls
• One gate
• One window

In this room, we are ignoring ventilation because its not required in the most of room.

Our Consideration For the Room

We consider following to calculate the number of bricks in 15×15 feet room:

• All the four walls size= 10 feet height × 15 feet width or 120 inch × 180 inch and
• One window (window size= 4 feet × 3 feet or 48 inch × 36 inch).
• One gate ( gate size= 7 feet × 3 feet or 84 inch × 36 inch).
• Brick size (Indian modular brick size or Indian standard brick size = 190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm or 7.48 inch × 3.54 inch × 3.54 inch).
• Mortar thickness 12 mm and
• Wall thickness is 9 inch.

Calculate the Area of Each Wall (Total Four Walls):

To calculate number of bricks required for 15×15 feet room, we need to calculate the area walls.

• Length of the Room = 15 feet
• Width of the Room = 15 feet
• Height of the Wall = 10 feet

The Area of Each Wall Would Be

1. Wall 1: Length x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
2. Wall 2: Length x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
3. Wall 3: Width x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
4. Wall 4: Width x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet

The Total Area of All Four Walls Would Be

Total area of walls in 15×15 feet room

= Wall 1 + Wall 2 + Wall 3 + Wall 4 

= 150 + 150 + 150 + 150 = 600 square feet

Subtract the Area of the Window and Gate From the Total Wall Area

Since there are one gate in the room and one window in the room. So, we need to calculate the area of the gate and the window separately. The total area of all wall only would be the sum of the areas of each wall subtracted by the areas of the gate and the window.

• Height of the Gate= 7 feet
• Width of the Gate= 3 feet
• Height of the Window= 4 feet
• Width of the Window= 3 feet

The Area of Gate and Window Would Be

• Area of Gate in 15×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 7 feet × 3 feet = 21 square feet
• Area of Window in 15×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 4 feet × 3 feet = 12 square feet

The Total Area of the Gate and Window Would be

Total area of gate and window in 15×15 Feet Room

= Area of Gate + Area of Window

= 21 square feet + 12 square feet = 33 square feet

Subtracting the area of the window and gate from the total wall area, we get the net area of the walls that need to be covered with bricks:

Net area of walls in 15×15 Feet Room

= Total area of walls - Total area of gate and window 

= 600 square feet - 33 square feet = 567 square feet

Total Volume of Brick Work

The total volume of brick work in 15×15 Square Feet Room

= Total Area of brick in square feet × Thickness of wall in feet

= 567 × (9/12) = 425.25 cubic feet

Determine the Number of Bricks For 15×15 Feet Room

To determine the number of bricks required for 15×15 feet room area, we need to first calculate the volume of a brick with mortar.

Volume of each brick without mortar

= Length × Width × Height = 190mm × 90mm × 90mm= 1539000 mm3 or 0.05438 cubic feet.

Volume of each brick with mortar (12 mm mortar thickness)

= Length × Width = 202mm × 102mm × 102mm = 2101608 mm3 or 0.07422 cubic feet.

Total number of bricks in 15×15 feet room

= Total Volume of Brick Work/ Volume of each brick = 425.25 cubic feet/ 0.07422 cubic feet = 5729.6 Bricks, (Say 5730 Bricks).

Taking 10% wastage of bricks during the masonry work, the total number of bricks is 5730 + 10%  of 5730 = 6303 Bricks.

Final Result

The total number of bricks required  for 15×15 feet room of 9 inch wall is 6303 Nos. approximately.

So, we would need approximately 6303 bricks to cover the walls of a 15×15 feet room with four walls (4 inch thick), one gate and one window, assuming a standard wall height of 10 feet, mortar thickness of 12 mm and the standard brick size of 190×90×90 mm.

It's important to note that this calculation is an estimate and may vary depending on factors such as the pattern of the brickwork, the size of the mortar joints and the amount of waste generated during construction. It's always a good idea to order a few extra bricks than what you think you'll need in the construction.
