Exterior insulated finish wall assembly
Some embodiments include an exterior insulated finish wall assembly including an exterior panel member, an insert member, and a drainage channel. The exterior panel member includes a rigid insulative substrate and a base coat selectively disposed on the rigid insulative substrate. The rigid insulative substrate includes a body portion and a tail portion extending from the body portion. A recess is defined by a sloped surface and a back surface of the tail portion. The insert member is configured to be disposed within the recess. The insert member is sized and shaped to correspond to the recess. The insert member includes a rigid insulative substrate and a base coat selectively disposed on the rigid insulative substrate. The drainage channel is defined between the tail portion and the insert member.

a drainage channel defined between the sloped and back surfaces of the tail portion and the insert member.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the drainage channel extends to a bottom side of the insert member.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the sloped surface extends from a back surface of the body portion to the back surface of the tail portion.
4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a width of the body portion is substantially equal to a combined width of the tail portion and the insert member.
5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the insert member is substantially aligned with a bottom edge of the tail portion when assembled.
6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the back surface of the tail portion is parallel to and offset from a back surface of the body portion.
7. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a flashing disposed within the drainage channel between the exterior wall panel and the insert member.
8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a front face of the insert member is disposed along the back surface of the tail portion.
9. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a base coat disposed on a front face, a back face, and a top face of the insert member.
10. An exterior wall panel system comprising:
a frame;
a substrate layer disposed along an exterior side of the frame; and
an exterior insulated finish wall assembly disposed along an exterior side of the substrate layer, the exterior insulated finish wall assembly comprising:
an exterior wall panel comprising a rigid insulative substrate and having a body portion and a tail portion, the exterior wall panel having a front surface, a back surface, and a recessed surface;
an insert member comprising the rigid insulative substrate, wherein the insert member is disposed along the recessed surface between the tail portion of the exterior wall panel and the substrate layer;
a drainage channel defined between the exterior wall panel and the insert member;
and
a flashing disposed within the drainage channel between the exterior wall panel and the insert member.
11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising a base coat selectively applied to the rigid insulative substrate of the tail portion and the insert member.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the base coat comprises a reinforcing mesh.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the base coat is selectively disposed on the exterior wall panel and the insert member along the drainage channel.
14. The system of claim 11 , further comprising a second coating disposed along the front surface.
15. The system of claim 10 , further comprising a sealant disposed along a bottom of the insert member, wherein the drainage channel terminates exterior of the sealant.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the drainage channel is configured to direct moisture to an exterior of the exterior insulated finish wall assembly.
17. An exterior wall panel system comprising:
a frame;
a substrate layer disposed along an exterior side of the frame; and
an exterior insulated finish wall assembly disposed along an exterior side of the substrate layer, the exterior insulated finish wall assembly comprising:
an exterior panel member comprising a rigid insulative substrate that comprises a body portion and a tail portion extending from the body portion, and a base coat selectively disposed on the rigid insulative substrate, the rigid insulative substrate having a front surface, an opposing back surface, and a recess defined by a sloped surface and a back surface of the tail portion, and
an insert member configured to be disposed within the recess, wherein a front surface of the insert member is offset from the front surface of the rigid insulative substrate of the exterior panel member when disposed within the recess;
wherein a drainage channel is defined between the sloped and back surfaces of the tail portion and the insert member.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein a thickness of the insert member is substantially equal to a thickness of the tail portion.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the drainage channel extends to a bottom of the insert member.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the drainage channel is configured to direct moisture to an exterior of the exterior insulated finish wall assembly.
