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 will not blow away. With unique diagonal bracing installation, your PREFA aluminium roof resists even the harshest of storms. Another important point: PREFA roof systems are installed by trained professionals only in order to ensure complete safety.

Where traditional roofs 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 generally covered with a colour coating which gives the material added protection. Even if small areas become damaged during installation, bare aluminium reacts with oxygen in the air to form a natural oxide layer. Unlike various other metal sheet roofs which are not made from aluminium but from a material which exhibits traces of rust after a while, your PREFA aluminium roof is guaranteed to remain rust-free thanks to its natural “second skin”. So your grandchildren will also be able to enjoy it for many years.

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 a good deal of money, time and worry. Our tip for restorers: Take it easy.

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.

Aluminium roofs are quieter than you think. 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.
