Unique design, including on large areas
The serrations create a unique design with an interesting interplay of light and shadow. They are available powder-coated or in plain aluminium (anodizable material). Individually cut to length and available in a wide range of colours with a powder-coated finish — the design possibilities are endless.
Ideal for balcony cladding
With the stainless steel balcony rivet, PREFABOND as well as the serrated profile and the ripple profile are securely fastened to balcony and parapet cladding. In the system, the balcony rivet is tested for the increased requirements with regard to fall-through protection. This is proven by pendulum impact tests in accordance with the requirements of the ETB Directive (components that protect against falls) and EN 12600:2002-11 in cooperation with an external testing institute.
The new apartments in Herzogenburger Straße in St. Pölten were designed with PREFA products. The PREFALZ metal sheeting was used on the roof. The PREFA serrated profile was used for the balcony railings.

Be inspired by reference properties already implemented with the serrated profile.
A serrated profile façade is a very robust way to clad the exterior wall. In this case, it doesn’t matter whether the entire façade or only a partial surface is implemented. You will find even more inspiration in our Reference Gallery.
You also have free rein in terms of the colour:
- The serrated profile is in plain aluminium (anodizable material)
- as well as in a powder-coated version (not in P.10 colours).
Contemporary detached house with PREFA serrated profile and PREFALZ
Architectural design accents were created with this modern detached house. The rear-ventilated façade construction was clad with high-quality PREFA serrated profiles in the colour bronze. PREFALZ was used on the roof in a colour that matches the façade.
The “Loft Office” residential and office building in Altstätten (Switzerland) has the PREFA serrated profile

Still got questions about the serrated profile façade?
PREFA façades are installed as non-bearing, rear-ventilated façades. This means that there is a gap for rear ventilation between the aluminium façade cladding and the insulation. In summer, the hot air cannot accumulate behind the façade because it rises through the rear ventilation and is transported away. In the winter, this structure provides thermal protection, as the heat transfer resistance is increased in the rear-ventilated space. This temperature buffering in the rear-ventilated space ensures a comfortable indoor climate all year round.
Fears of rusting are completely unfounded because aluminium cannot rust. If the surface of the PREFA aluminium façade is damaged, a new protective oxide layer is formed and the durability of the PREFA façade remains unchanged.
Non-bearing, rear-ventilated façades are designed to prevent moisture from forming. By separating the insulation and façade cladding, there is a constant air flow in the rear-ventilated space which regulates the moisture balance and ensures dryness. Thanks to the permanent ventilation, professional installation will not result in mould formation underneath the façade.
