Abstract:
A vertical exterior wall system has an exterior substrate and a control joint disposed on the substrate. A building material such as stucco covers a base plate of the control joint. An A-shaped ridge extends from the based plate of the control joint and is disposed between a first area of the building material and a second area of the building material, defining a gap. A sealant may be disposed in the gap and may cover the A-shaped ridge, adhering to building materials of the first area and the second area.

Claim (Index 1):
An exterior wall system for a building comprises:\n an exterior wall substrate, the exterior wall substrate being disposed vertically to the ground and providing an exterior surface for the building; a control joint disposed on the substrate, the control joint comprising:\n a base plate for attaching the control joint to the substrate, the base plate having an elongated length defined by a first end and a second end, opposite of the first end and a width defined by a first edge and a second edge, opposite of the first edge; and \n an A-shaped ridge extending from the base plate along the elongated length between the first edge and the second edge, and having a wider portion of the A-shaped ridge extending from the base to a peak portion of the A-shaped ridge, and wherein the peak portion of the A-shaped ridge is arcuate; \n a building material applied on the substrate, whereby water resistance is provided to the exterior wall system for the building, wherein the base plate of the control joint is covered by the building material, and wherein the peak portion of the A-shaped ridge is not covered by the building material;
