Girts, systems incorporating girts, and methods of using girts are disclosed. The girts are structurally reinforced by gussets that are formed with material from the girt walls. In some embodiments, the gussets are formed via an efficient metal stamping process. The girts have a high mechanical strength, are easily manufactured, allow for water drainage and air circulation, improve thermal performance, decrease sound transmission, and reduce material, transportation and labor costs relative to traditional girts. In addition, isolators that may be used with the girts reduce thermal conductivity and divert moisture from mounting locations.

A vent member includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a first portion, a second portion offset from the first portion and a first transverse panel extending transversely from the second portion. The second member includes a third portion for being received behind the second portion of the first member, a fourth portion extending below the third portion, a second transverse panel, and a third transverse panel above the second transverse panel. The vent member may be mounted over upper and lower walls.

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.

A termination assembly comprises a termination member and a drainage assembly. The termination member includes a base interconnecting a connecting flange and a supporting flange, and the base is configured and arranged to receive a portion of a wall between the connecting flange and the supporting flange. The drainage assembly includes a drainage member operatively connected to the base, and the drainage member creates a void to facilitate drainage and ventilation.

Girts, systems incorporating girts, and methods of using girts are disclosed. In some embodiments, the girts are formed via an efficient metal stamping and folding process. The girts have a high mechanical strength, are easily manufactured, allow for water drainage and air circulation, improve thermal performance, decrease sound transmission, and reduce material, transportation and labor costs relative to traditional girts.

The disclosure provides example drainage channels, drainage systems, building walls and methods. An example drainage channel includes a drainage panel for conveying water within a building wall. The drainage panel is impermeable and has a first end and a second end. A support panel is coupled to the first end or the second end of the drainage panel such that the support panel is configured to be arranged vertically relative to the building wall. The drainage panel is configured to be arranged either perpendicular to an exterior sheathing of the building wall or angled downward from the first end of the drainage panel toward both the second end of the drainage panel and the exterior sheathing of the building wall.
