Home Questions and answers About the surfaces

Smooth

A smooth surface with a uniform appearance.
PREFA Siding without a shadow gap, with a lined surface, as a profiled aluminium façade panel in grey

Lined

A surface with a regular linear pattern.

What are the advantages of the stucco finish?

The stucco finish offers a number of advantages that make it the preferred choice in many cases:

  • Durability: The special embossing makes the products more resistant to scratches and dents.
  • Ease of installation: The embossing makes the material more stable and easier to work with, as marks left during installation are less visible.
  • Appearance: Although the stucco surface has a textured embossing, the difference compared to a smooth surface is barely noticeable from a distance.

PREFA Tip

The stucco finish offers the advantage of greater durability and is less susceptible to showing signs of processing. From the usual viewing distances for roofs and façades, the difference compared to a smooth finish is usually barely noticeable. For this reason, the stucco finish is usually the preferred choice.
