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.
