King closer
A king closer (or king closure) a type of cut brick. The cut is made across the short width of the brick, leaving one long side complete and the other long side leaving three-quarters of the full length. The part removed is a 45 degree angle, which when paired with a mirrored brick of the same cut creates a 90 degree turn, thus the brick is specifically designed to close the internal corners of brick masonry walls. Other types of closers include queen closer, bevelled closers, mitred closers and bats.
