This vertical seismic joint assembly bridges an expansion gap between exterior wall construction and a vestibule curtain wall system. The joint incorporates a seismic cover with thin brick infill matching the adjacent wall exterior, backed by a mineral wool thermal barrier with maintained slack for movement. A sheet air barrier and continuous sealant seal the transition, supported by wood blocking and shims at the perimeter. The assembly is located near a painted hollow structural section column and an exterior canopy edge.
