Flemish bond wall construction is not as strong as the English bond brick wall.

English bond is considered stronger than Flemish bond because of its alternating pattern of header and stretcher bricks. This arrangement provides more strength and stability to the structure compared to the repeating pattern of headers and stretchers in Flemish bond. English bond also distributes loads more effectively, resulting in a more robust construction.
