Wire Cut Brick Size in mm: Standard, Modular and Custom Sizes
The standard wire cut brick size is 230x114x76mm (9x4.5x3 inches), built to IS 1077. Here is every size we stock, including modular and custom options.
If you type "wire cut brick size" into Google, you want one clear number. Here it is: the standard wire cut brick from Bricks Street measures 230x114x76mm, or 9x4.5x3 inches. That's the IS 1077 standard size used across India.
That's not the only size we make though, and the size changes a little depending on whether you pick a solid brick, a hole brick, or a custom order. Here's the full picture.

Standard Wire Cut Brick Size in mm
Every wire cut brick we sell, solid, 3-hole, 8-hole or multihole, shares the same outer size: 230x114x76mm. The holes change what's inside the brick, not its length, width or height. Wire cut bricks are machine-made, so this size holds to a tight tolerance of plus or minus 2mm on every piece, unlike a handmade clay wire cut brick where sizes drift more.
| Dimension | Size (mm) | Size (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 230mm | 9" |
| Width | 114mm | 4.5" |
| Height | 76mm | 3" |
Modular Wire Cut Brick Size
Some projects call for a modular size instead: 190x90x90mm. We keep this size in stock for architects working to a modular grid, where the brick length, width and height need to line up in simple ratios. Ask for it by name if your drawing calls for a modular brick, since the standard 230x114x76mm size won't match a modular layout.
Custom Sizes for Bulk Orders
For orders of 25,000 bricks or more, we can cut wire cut bricks to a custom size. This helps with restoration work, heritage matching, or a design that needs a non-standard clay wire cut brick size. Send us your drawing and required size on WhatsApp and we'll confirm what's possible.
Why the Tight Tolerance Matters
A wire cut brick is cut by machine from an extruded clay column, so every piece comes out close to the same size. A handmade brick can vary by 5 to 10mm from piece to piece. That difference adds up fast: read how regular bricks compare to wire cut bricks for the full picture on strength, finish and cost. Tighter size control also means fewer bricks wasted per square foot and thinner, more even mortar joints.
Solid, 3-Hole, 8-Hole or 10-Hole: Same Size, Different Core
Whichever hole pattern you pick, the outer size stays 230x114x76mm. Choose based on strength and weight, not size: 3-hole bricks suit load-bearing walls, 8-hole bricks cut weight and cost for partitions, and 10-hole bricks go even lighter for non-load walls. All three ship in the same 230x114x76mm frame, so they lay in the same course height as a standard wire cut brick.
Price by Size
Standard 230x114x76mm wire cut bricks start at ₹11 per piece and go up to ₹12 depending on finish and order size. Modular and custom sizes are priced separately since they use more clay per piece. Ask for a quote on WhatsApp with your size and quantity.
