U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63/164,279, filed March 22, 2021 - For buildings with varying types of thin veneers such as stucco, and sidings applied over varying thicknesses of outboard rigid insulation stucco-type exteriors, moisture drainage is important. Rainscreen drainage systems are commonly used with building structures such as exterior walls and windows to provide an air gap over a water resistive barrier to create a capillary break, which allows gravity to drain moisture and provides ventilation to dry out the materials. These rainscreen drainage systems must include functioning terminations. If not adequately drained and ventilated, the building materials can absorb moisture and eventually rot. Even with rainscreen drainage systems, rot can be a problem.
- For the reasons stated above and for other reasons stated below, which will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is a need in the art for a termination for building structures.
- The above-mentioned problems associated with prior devices are addressed by embodiments of the disclosure and will be understood by reading and understanding the present specification. The following summary is made by way of example and not by way of limitation. It is merely provided to aid in understanding some of the aspects of the invention.

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.

- Embodiments of the disclosure generally provide a termination member configured and arranged to receive at least a portion of a terminal portion of a building veneer, which is part of a wall, for example a top of a wall, a bottom of a wall, and portions forming a window opening, to assist in moisture drainage and ventilation. Generally, the termination member includes a base onto which at least a portion of the terminal portion is seated and a connecting flange and a supporting flange extending from opposing sides of the base. At least a portion of the terminal portion is positioned between the connecting flange and the supporting flange. The connecting flange is configured and arranged to be connected to the building structure. The base is configured and arranged to drain moisture via gravity and provide ventilation.
- A termination member can be used alone or in combination with another termination member. The termination member can include a drainage assembly. The termination member can include drainage apertures.
