The nominal thickness of an expansion joint in brick walls is kept at 15 mm to allow for the expansion and contraction of the brickwork due to changes in temperature and humidity.<\/p>\n<p>Option A: 5 mm is too small a thickness for an expansion joint in brick walls. This would not allow for enough movement, and could result in damage to the brickwork.<\/p>\n<p>Option B: 10 mm is a more reasonable thickness for an expansion joint in brick walls. <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> However, it is still possible that this would not be enough movement, and could result in damage to the brickwork in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Option C: 15 mm is the recommended thickness for an expansion joint in brick walls.
