PREFA façade sidings are classic elements of both traditional and modern façade design. These high-grade aluminium façade panels can be installed vertically, horizontally or even diagonally, and take the form of a non-bearing, rear-ventilated façade. This means that there is space for air to circulate between the supporting structure and the PREFA aluminium façade. You can find out more about rear-ventilated façades here.
With the PREFA siding façade, you can put together your own personalised façade solution. Choose from four different widths: 138 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm or 400 mm, and a range of surface textures: smooth, stucco or lined. With a range of 24 colours at your disposal, you can choose the perfect shade for your PREFA sidings. (Please note the standard colours for the various widths. For more information, please refer to the colour chart.) And the possibilities don't stop there: you can choose from different lengths (500 to 6,200 mm) and decide whether you want standard or shadow gaps. By choosing how you want to combine all these different options, you can create your own personalised house façade. Take some inspiration from reference projects that feature PREFA sidings!
The sidings are fastened indirectly using the tried-and-tested tongue and groove system – this is a concealed fastening with no visible bolts or rivets, and is a popular alternative to the click-in system.
It is also important to note that the aluminium siding façade profiles satisfy the requirements of Fire class “A1” as per standard EN 13501-1, meaning that they are non-flammable. You can find more information about fire protection here.
Are you looking for a long-lasting wood-effect façade that doesn't require painting? If so, you'll love the easy-care aluminium sidings in the colours “walnut”, “grey oak” and “natural oak”. You can find more inspiration for wood-effect façade cladding here.

The sidings façade system is highly versatile: whether used as a house façade, gable cladding, base cladding, to protect the exposed side of a building or as a visual highlight, it really makes its mark. Possible combinations:
We've put together some more tips and ideas for façade design for you here. Take inspiration from these ideas for façade design:
PREFA sidings are the smart way to protect and preserve building façades while giving them a modern appearance that will last for decades.
Detached house with dark gables clad in PREFA siding in P.10 anthracite, installed horizontally.
PREFA sidings in natural oak, installed horizontally with shadow gap and gap.
During renovation, the developers opted for a ruby red sidings façade for the gables, installed vertically. Meanwhile, PREFA roof tiles in P.10 anthracite were used to put the finishing touches on the roof. The roof drainage (roof gutter) was also finished in anthracite.
On this traditional detached house, the gables were clad with vertical PREFA sidings in natural oak. They are complemented by the roof gutter and windows in green.
The storey directly beneath the single-pitch roof was clad vertically in PREFA siding in P.10 anthracite. The gableboard was covered with PREFA rhomboid panels in P.10 anthracite.
The external façade combines different lengths and widths of PREFA sidings in P.10 light grey.
On this façade, horizontal PREFA sidings in grey aluminium with offset joints have been combined with an alternative façade material. The timber façade was also installed horizontally.
Façade design with PREFA façade sidings, installed horizontally with offset joints, in multiple colours (P.10 brown, ivory and bronze).
The top floor of this detached house was clad with horizontal PREFA sidings in P.10 anthracite. The roof is covered with PREFA roof tiles, also in P.10 anthracite.
"The gables of the residential complex were clad in P.10-grade brown PREFA siding. The panels were installed in an irregular pattern.The roof was covered in R.16 roof tiles, also in P.10 brown."

This modern detached house features PREFA sidings in a combination of silver and anthracite in matte finish.
The complete system from PREFA creates perfect harmony between the roof, façade and roof drainage. On this residential building, PREFA sidings in brown and prefa white were used together, along with colour-coordinated roof gutters.
PREFA sidings can be used to create eye-catching highlights. On this modern detached house, ruby red sidings were used in combination with a beige house façade. PREFA sidings are available with a smooth or lined surface finish.
