Abstract
Methods, systems, and an apparatus for constructing a termination point in a wall are provided. A rigid, cured cement board is attached to exterior sheathing of the wall. A stop bead apparatus is attached to the rigid, cured cement board at a terminating location of the wall. An edge of a rigid, cured cement board is inserted into a gap formed between a base panel of the stop bead apparatus and the exterior sheathing. A finish layer is applied to an exterior surface of the cement board, whereby the finish layer covers the base panel of the stop bead apparatus.
Claims13
A stop bead apparatus at a termination point in a wall at a location against a jamb of a door or window in a stucco or thin veneered stone wall with a rigid cured cement board backing, the stop bead apparatus comprising:
- a substantially planar base panel;
- a stop bead wall extending in a fixed, substantially perpendicular angle from the base panel, the stop bead wall being free from holes or openings and being positioned substantially parallel to the jamb;
- a flexible spacing member extending from a first side of the stop bead wall, wherein the flexible spacing member is compressed against the jamb thereby maintaining a tight bond against the jamb;
- a front wall connected to the stop bead wall, the front wall having an exterior edge which forms an outermost portion of the stop bead apparatus;
- and
- a gap formed between an interior face of the base panel and a location proximate to an inner, terminating end of the stop bead wall, wherein a dimension of an entire length of the stop bead wall between an interior face of the base panel and exterior sheathing of the stucco or thin veneered stone wall is less than a thickness of the rigid, cured cement board such that the inner surface of the base panel remains in a contacted position with the exterior surface of the rigid, cured cement board, wherein a terminating edge of a rigid, cured cement board is removably insertable into the gap, wherein the terminating edge of the rigid, cured cement board is positioned between the exterior sheathing and the base panel.
A system for terminating a wall at a location against a jamb of a door or window, the system comprising:
- a rigid, cured cement board attached to exterior sheathing of the wall;
- a stop bead apparatus affixed to the rigid, cured cement board proximate to the jamb of a door or window, the stop bead apparatus having:
- a substantially planar base panel;
- a stop bead wall extending in a fixed, substantially perpendicular angle from the base panel, the stop bead wall being free from holes or openings and being positioned substantially parallel to the jamb;
- a flexible spacing member extending from a first side of the stop bead wall to the jamb, wherein the flexible spacing member is compressed against the jamb thereby maintaining a tight bond against the jamb;
- and
- a front wall connected to the stop bead wall, the front wall having an exterior edge being the outermost portion of the stop bead apparatus, wherein a gap is formed between the base panel and the exterior sheathing of the wall, wherein a terminating edge of the rigid, cured cement board is positioned with the gap such that the terminating edge of the rigid, cured cement board is positioned between the exterior sheathing and the base panel, wherein a dimension of an entire length of the stop bead wall between an interior surface of the base panel and the exterior sheathing of the wall is less than a thickness of the rigid, cured cement board such that the inner surface of the base panel remains in a contacted position with the exterior surface of the rigid, cured cement board, and wherein cement forming the rigid, cured cement board is cured prior to insertion into the gap;
- and
- a finish layer applied to an exterior surface of the rigid, cured cement board, wherein the finish layer covers the base panel of the stop bead apparatus.
A method for constructing a termination point in a wall at a location against a jamb of a door or window, the method comprising the steps of:
- attaching a rigid, cured cement board to exterior sheathing of the wall;
- attaching a stop bead apparatus to the rigid, cured cement board along a terminating location of the wall proximate to a jamb of a door or window, the stop bead apparatus having a flexible spacing member mounted to a stop bead wall, the stop bead wall extending in a fixed, substantially perpendicular angle from a base panel and being free from holes or openings and being positioned substantially parallel to the jamb, wherein the flexible spacing member is compressed against the jamb thereby maintaining a tight bond against the jamb, wherein a terminating edge of the rigid, cured cement board is positioned with a gap formed between the exterior sheathing of the wall and the base panel of the stop bead apparatus, and wherein a dimension of an entire length of the stop bead wall between an interior surface of the base panel and the exterior sheathing of the wall is less than a thickness of the rigid, cured cement board such that the inner surface of the base panel remains in a contacted position with the exterior surface of the rigid, cured cement board;
- and
- applying a finish layer to an exterior surface of the cement board, whereby the finish layer covers the base panel of the stop bead apparatus.
