as strong as a bullAre you planning a new construction or would you like to renovate your roof or façade? You can rely on aluminium. The reasons are obvious:
ALUMINIUM FOR BUILDERS & RESTORERS
AFFORDABLE, LONG-LASTING, STORM-PROOF, ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY AND ATTRACTIVE
LIGHT & AFFORDABLE
The weight of an aluminium roof is about 1/10th to 1/20th of that 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 (exceeding 3°). The advantage: in most cases, older roof structures do not require extra reinforcement. That often saves a good deal of money. Our tip for restorers: take it easy.

MADE TO LAST A LIFE TIME
Aluminium reacts with oxygen in the air to form a natural oxide layer. This layer offers outstanding protection from corrosion (including bitumen corrosion).
A damaged roof or façade membrane made from aluminium will always regenerate itself. The aluminium supports are also protected by a two-layer stove enamel finish. So you can enjoy your roof for years — and the next generation can too.
EXTREMELY STORM-PROOF
Thanks to the concealed fasteners and installation in a half-offset pattern, a PREFA roof can resist even the harshest of weather. In high-risk regions, storm-proofing can be further improved with additional clips.
Our PREFA roof is reliable on mountain huts too. On boiling hot days and freezing cold nights, it’s not uncommon for maximum and minimum daily temperatures to differ by 50 °C. That’s not a problem for a PREFA roof!
COMPLETELY ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY
From an ecological point of view, aluminium is the ideal choice of material. There are various reasons for this::
! Aluminium is fully recyclable.
! During recycling, only 5% of the original energy used for production is required.
! PREFA generally uses secondary aluminium (= recycled aluminium).
! As aluminium is so lightweight, energy is saved and CO₂ emissions are reduced during transport to the building site.
We say it again: aluminium is extremely durable, virtually maintenance-free, recyclable without any loss and unbelievably lightweight. All factors considered, the eco-balance is far better than is the case with traditional roofs.
UNIQUE VARIETY OF COLOURS AND SHAPES
The amazing design possibilities offered by aluminium are truly mind-boggling. This is due not least to our fantastic range of colours which includes over 15 different shades. We are also happy to create new colours according to our customers’ wishes. Aluminium is also full of possibilities in terms of design and shaping. The diverse product range enables virtually all architectural aspirations to be fulfilled, and unique roofing and façade effects to be conjured up.
So you see, with PREFA, every building is unique. There are no limits to your imagination or creativity.

Aluminium lasts an eternity — In addition to aluminium’s powerful properties, the concealed fastening technology in a half-offset pattern also offers strong support.
