Patent number: 10683660Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: INNOVATIONS & IDEAS, LLCInventor: Steven Preston

Patent number: 10352040Abstract: A building comprises an exterior substrate, such as an exterior prepped for application of a building material and one or more expansion and control joints. A terminating point, such as a window or door casing, has a surface extending above the substrate, and a casing bead control joint with a permanent gasket or backer rod preinstalled for filling the space between the casing and the control joint. The control joint may be combined with one or more other expansion or control joints fixed to the exterior of the substrate, and a layer of a building material may be applied on the substrate and overlapping a portion of the expansion and control joints.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: INNOVATIONS & IDEAS, LLCInventor: Steven Preston

Patent number: 10017936Abstract: A building comprises an exterior substrate, such as an exterior prepped for application of a building material and one or more expansion and control joints. A window or door casing has a surface extending above the substrate, and a casing bead control joint with a spacer strip defining a space between the casing and the control joint. For example, the strip is removable by peeling away the strip from an adjacent flange, which may have an optional permanent gasket or back rod preinstalled for filling the space between the casing and the control joint. The control joint may be combined with one or more other expansion or control joints fixed to the exterior of the substrate and a layer of a building material may be applied on the substrate and overlapping a portion of the expansion and control joints.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: INNOVATIONS & IDEAS, LLCInventor: Steven Preston

Patent number: 9435114Abstract: A building comprises an exterior substrate, such as an exterior prepped for application of a building material, having an expansion or control joint fixed to the substrate and a layer of a building material applied on the substrate and overlapping a portion of the expansion and control joint. A groove is formed between the expansion and control joint and the layer of building material, and a sealant is disposed in the groove, adhesively bonding to the expansion and control joint and the building material. For example, an M-shaped, cup-shaped or A-shaped removable gasket strip may be removably coupled to the expansion or control joint during application of the building material and may be removed, subsequently, to form the groove.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Innovations & Ideas, LLCInventor: Steven Preston

Patent number: 9200455Abstract: A moisture isolating reveal system includes a vertical trim piece having a fastening base configured for vertical coupling along a wall. A reveal flange extends from the fastening base. The fastening base and the reveal flange form a panel reception recess, and the panel reception recess is configured to receive a siding panel. A moisture isolation assembly extends along one or more of the reveal flange or the fastening base. The moisture isolation assembly includes: a nozzle ridge provided along the reveal flange, a moisture dam interposed between the nozzle ridge and the fastening base, the moisture dam prevents the ingress of moisture to the fastening base, and the nozzle ridge accelerates moisture moving between the nozzle ridge and an installed siding panel and decelerates moisture between the nozzle ridge and the moisture dam.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Innovations & Ideas, LLCInventor: Steven S. Preston
