Question: what is the difference between modular and queen brick?
Answer: Queen size brick has a bed depth of 2 3/4 inches versus 3.5 inches for modular size brick, so a steel lintel with a shorter horizontal leg can be used. Since queen size bricks weigh 20 percent to 25 percent less than modular size bricks, lighter gauge lintels can be used, resulting in even more cost savings.
