The multi-purpose screed device may use a foundation weep screed, overhang soffit screed, and soffit ventilation.
Claims20
A multi-purpose screed device, comprising:
- a wall cladding section;
- a plaster support section connected to the wall cladding section at a first edge, wherein a plurality of first opening and a plurality of second openings are formed through the plaster support section, and the plurality of first openings are closer to the first edge than the plurality of second openings;
- an end ventilation section connected to the plaster support section at a second edge, wherein a plurality of third openings are formed through the end ventilation section;
- and
- a guard and gauge section connected to the end ventilation section at a third edge.
2 more elements
A method for applying a veneer exterior wall, comprising:
- building a sheathing layer, wherein a lower edge of the sheathing layer is formed on a top surface of a foundation and an upper edge of the sheeting layer contacts a ceiling structure;
- attaching a first multi-purpose screed device along the lower edge of the sheathing layer, wherein the first multi-purpose screed device comprises:
- a wall cladding section;
- a plaster support section connected to the wall cladding section at a first edge, wherein a plurality of first opening and a plurality of second openings are formed through the plaster support section, and the plurality of first openings are closer to the first edge than the plurality of second openings;
- an end ventilation section connected to the plaster support section at a second edge, wherein a plurality of third openings are formed through the end ventilation section;
- and
- a guard and gauge section connected to the end ventilation section at a third edge;
- attaching a weather-resist barrier (WBR) layer over the sheathing layer and the wall cladding section of the first multi-purpose screed device layer;
- attaching a rain screen layer over the WBR layer, wherein the rain screen layer aligns with the plurality of first openings in the first multi-purpose screed device;
- and
- applying a veneer layer over the rain screen layer, wherein an exterior surface of the veneer layer aligns with the third edge of the first multi-purpose screed device.
8 more elements
