Aluminium Cladding VariAL CF 3 QA Checklist

This quality assurance inspection checklist covers the installation and handover of the Ash and Lacy VariAL CF 3 aluminium cladding system. It guides teams to confirm RAMS and drawings, breather membrane laps and sealing, support frame setup with channels, brackets, and rails, and correct insulation using Rockwool with specified fixings and spacing. It includes detailed checks for vertical and horizontal cavity barriers using Siderise components, ventilation gaps, bracket spacing, and fixings. The template verifies window cills, flashings, insect mesh, copings, and feature box fin assemblies with required finishes and tolerances. A final handover section outlines facade viewing standards in line with BBA, GGF, and CWCT guidance to assess surface quality at defined viewing distances.
