Notes
- The RAL values stated are merely approximate values (~), some of which may differ vastly from the original PREFA colour and, under certain circumstances, may not reflect the subjective perception of the colour.
- Above all for colour quality P.10, it is almost impossible to define values due to the surface structure.
- Plain aluminium: The guarantee does not cover surface appearance alterations caused by processing and environmental influences. Follow the instructions.
- Metallic colours may vary in shade.
- To identify exact colours for complementary components please consult original samples.

Do you have any further questions about the DS.19 roof shingle?
It would be great if we could give you an overall price here or tell you that a roof tile or façade single costs such and such an amount. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple because each PREFA roof and façade needs to be carefully calculated by a specialist installer. Our professional roofers will give you an individual quote, tailored precisely to your requirements and the local conditions in which your house is located.
Expert tip: The sound-absorbing strip makes the DS.19 roof shingle quieter
Aluminium roofs are quieter than their reputation would have you believe. Everyone perceives noise differently. To keep noise levels to a minimum, the DS.19 roof shingle has a noise-insulating strip (FD.TEC)already attached to it’s back. For even more comfort in residential buildings, we recommend additionally using a thicker separation layer.

Roof build up
PREFA aluminium roofs ideally have a ventilated build up, where the roof cover and thermal insulation is separated by a ventilated gap. This means any occasional condensation can be wicked away.
For the most part, the roof is ventilated, as can be seen in the first picture. However, the entire attic can be ventilated too (image on right).
