as strong as a bull Are 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
BREAK-PROOF; LIGHTWEIGHT & AFFORDABLE
An aluminium roof does not break and weighs about 1/10 to 1/20 of a tiled roof. With a total 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, and on older roof structures do not require extra reinforcement. That often saves a good deal of time and money. Therefore, aluminium is ideal for renovations.

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) and is therefore rust-proof.
If the roof or façade is made from aluminium and does happen to suffer any damage, it will always regenerate itself. 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. With PREFA, you get all the accessories from one source as a complete system — you can rely on PREFA’s accessories.
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 both for new builds and for renovations. 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
We say it again: aluminium is extremely durable and break-proof, virtually maintenance-free, recyclable without any loss, unbelievably lightweight, and at the same time particularly attractive. All factors considered, the eco-balance is far better than is the case with traditional roofs.
A UNIQUE VARIETY OF COLOURS AND SHAPES
The amazing design possibilities offered by PREFA aluminium are truly mind-boggling. This is due not least to our fantastic range of colours which includes over 25 different shades. 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.
EXTREMELY LONG-LASTING
Aluminium lasts — In addition to aluminium’s powerful properties, the concealed fastening technology in a half-offset pattern also offers strong support. So the building remains watertight, keeping bad weather outside. We give you this waterproof promise in writing. With a 40-year material guarantee.
But we do not consider that to be enough. With the P.10 coating, you are choosing a particularly UV-resistant, colourfast and weatherproof surface coating that withstands external influences and stress. With a 40-year colour guarantee.
