Roof Systems
Imagine that a storm is raging outside, but you are sitting comfortably on your sofa in complete peace of mind, because you know that your roof is stormproof. With its robust material properties, sophisticated design, and manner in which it is fixed, your PREFA aluminium roof resists even the harshest of storms.
Where traditional roofs can often leak, a PREFA roof is naturally rain-proof. A PREFA aluminium roof does not get beaten up by bad weather. We underpin this promise with our 40-year guarantee on materials and colours*.
A PREFA roof resists even the harshest of weather. Even high snow loads will not cause any damage. Aluminium roofs are immune to extreme temperature fluctuations — that’s why PREFA products are used on mountain huts at high altitudes.
PREFA roofs are covered with a colour coating which gives the material added protection. Even if small areas become damaged during installation, bare aluminium reacts with oxygen to form a natural oxide layer. Unlike some other metal sheet roofs which are not made from aluminium, your PREFA aluminium roof is guaranteed to remain rust-free.
An aluminium roof weighs about 1/10th of a tiled roof. With a dead weight of just 2.3 to 2.6 kg/m², an aluminium roof covering is particularly lightweight — and can be mounted on virtually any roof pitch. The advantage: in most cases, older roof structures do not require any extra reinforcement which saves money and time and reduces worry.
The roof plays a central role in architecture. Whether a gable roof, hip roof, mono-pitched roof, dome or barrel roof – PREFA’s aluminium roofs allow virtually limitless scope for design. And there are endless possibilities in terms of colours and shades too. You will be astounded at what’s possible. This is due not least to the fantastic range of colours which includes over 15 different shades. Do you require a specific colour? Ask us — in most cases, we can create your special colour for you. So every building is unique. There are no limits to your imagination or creativity.
Everyone perceives sound differently, however PREFA small format roof elements are fitted with frequency damper strips to reduce sound. The human ear perceives very little difference in sound compared to a roof with a hard cover.
Façade Systems
The PREFA rhomboid façade tile gives traditional, scale-like façades a new lease of life. The maintenance-free aluminium material treated with PREFA’s innovative surface coating lends cladding an elegant matt structure.
Experience the building front of the future – today already. With its right-angled canting, the FX.12 façade panel enables unique surface designs to be created. Depending on how the light falls, the building front radiates ever-changing shades of colours. This breath-taking effect and the façade’s asymmetric appearance make each building unique.
Vertical, horizontal or diagonal – PREFA sidings set the tone for contemporary architecture too. And don’t forget about the corners when planning your façade. Practical corner sidings ensure a smooth-flowing exterior. Which ever direction you go for, PREFA sidings will open up new avenues.
Prefalz comes in an impressive variety of colours and shapes. The reason for this is simple: as it is made of aluminium, Prefalz is more pliable than most comparable folding materials, and therefore easy to shape. The result: countless individual design possibilities that are barely conceivable with any other material. You could say that anything you can imagine is feasible.
A company’s building is its biggest advertisement. A façade with PREFA aluminium composite panels impresses already at the very first glance. The diverse colours and shapes, the chosen degree of gloss and the unusual design surfaces and special coatings are particularly enhanced on building cladding. So you’ve got great plans and visions? Then show them off!
Bold architectural ideas are in high demand. And the material required to implement them is available: the PREFA aluminium ripple profile withstands the toughest demands. Its fine structure and elegant appearance make the extruded aluminium ripple profile the ideal format for realising architectural dreams that last for generations.
Roof Drainage
PREFA offers you a complete aluminium drainage system, including mounting accessories from one supplier. From half round gutters to square downpipes, and from water collectors to hopper heads – we provide every option.
Our roof drainage systems either help to present the façade in the best possible light by blending harmoniously into the overall appearance and becoming virtually invisible, or they use all the power of colour to deliberately create contrasts, and emphasize the building’s architecture. Whichever way you prefer, PREFA’s complete aluminium gutter system opens up a whole world of colour.
As PREFA’s roof drainage system is available in classic standard colours, solutions which harmoniously match all common roof and façade colours can generally be found. On request, we can also produce special colours tailored to your requirements.
The PREFA gutter is characterised by its high-quality surface treatment in a coil-coating procedure. This ensures that the coating layer is malleable and protected against general chemicals and weather conditions. We now also offer tree P.10 Colours – P.10 Anthracite, P.10 Light Grey & P.10 Brown.
All parts of the PREFA gutter system are made of aluminium – a non-corrosive material. The high-quality colour coating is ideal for the creative and functional requirements of your building’s exterior architecture.
The PREFA aluminium drainage system is the best choice from an ecological point of view too. Unlike conventional materials, aluminium does not release harmful heavy metals into the sewage water when gutters and pipes are constantly flushed out. Aluminium is 100 % recyclable too.
Flood Protection
Steadily mounting average temperatures are creating extreme climates. Rivers increasingly burst their banks, causing major damage. Particularly in high-risk regions, it’s important to be able to protect ourselves against these forces of nature before we’re left standing knee-deep in water.
Together with our affiliated company, NEUMAN Aluminium Strangpresswerk GmbH, we have developed the demountable PREFA flood protection system. Lightweight, robust aluminium profiles protect doors, gates, windows and entire surfaces against penetrating flood water, offering you and your house maximum security.

- stackable barrier panels
- wall mounting profiles
- mounting uprights with ground sleeves
- compression clamps to prevent wear and tear of the panels
Solar Panel Mounting Systems
Solar panels are a well-known and accepted way of generating electricity in an environmentally-friendly manner. Unlike other sustainable energy generating systems such as wind power plants or hydroelectric power stations, all of us can generate energy on our own roofs! Even small systems can achieve sufficient yields. So you can take one step closer to becoming completely self-sufficient.
Would you like to use solar energy in your home and get your PREFA roof working for you? With the PREFA solar mounting system, you can easily attach solar panel systems to any of our roof systems.

Aluminium Coil and Sheet Material
PREFA aluminium coils and metal sheets are made from malleable aluminium alloys. This makes them easy and safe to work with – ideal for gable and valley constructions, chimney and roof window flashings, dormer cladding and much more.
PREFA aluminium coils and metal sheets can also be used in the façade area (e.g. on window ledges and corners).
Thanks to the wide choice of colours, you can always find the matching shade for a high-quality look – particularly in combination with PREFA’s powder-coated gutters. The coating is applied in a coil-coating process and is permanently weather-resistant. And as an aside, flashing strips and sheets are also available in the required paint quality for PREFA’s tried and tested long-term roof.
IMPORTANT: Do not combine strips and sheets with other colour aluminium strips due to the different paint qualities and folding abilities. On NON-PREFA roofs, flashing for valleys, gables, chimneys and roof surfaces, etc. should only be produced using colour aluminium strips.
