PREFA is an Austrian manufacturer specialising in aluminium roofing and facade systems. They are best known for their pressed aluminium tiles, shingles, and panels — products that combine the lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties of aluminium with a range of profiles and finishes suited to both contemporary and traditional architecture.
Products and Systems
PREFA’s product range includes:
- PREFA Roof Tiles — pressed aluminium tiles available in a range of profiles including Dachplatte, Falzziegel, and Sinus, designed to suit different architectural styles
- PREFA Shingles — small-format panels for roof and wall cladding, offering a distinctive texture and pattern
- PREFA Façade Panels — larger flat and profiled panels for rainscreen cladding applications
- PREFA Rainwater Systems — aluminium gutters, downpipes, and accessories in matching finishes
All products are finished with PREFA’s proprietary coating system, which carries a 40-year guarantee against fading, chalking, and corrosion — one of the longest colour guarantees available in the market.
Why We Use PREFA
The 40-year colour guarantee and the longevity of aluminium as a material make PREFA an excellent choice for clients who want a premium, low-maintenance roofing system. The product range is broad enough to suit a wide variety of building styles, and the finish options cover both neutral and more distinctive colour palettes.
Aluminium is lightweight and does not rust, which makes it particularly practical for retrofits and projects where structural loading matters.
Working with Aluminium
PREFA products are designed to be installed as complete systems, with profiles, fixings, and accessories all specified together. This means detailing is well-resolved, and the installation process is clear — provided the roof structure and substrate are prepared correctly.
We are happy to advise on whether PREFA aluminium roofing is the right choice for your project and discuss which profile and colour combination suits your building.
