Modern façade design needs space for creative and innovative ideas. The PREFA ripple profile gives you flexibility when implementing your ideas.

The PREFA ripple profile, made of 2 mm-thick, extruded aluminium alloy, ensures maximum shape retention and resistance even under extreme strain. The fine material structure and concealed fastening create an elegant appearance — the ideal material for architectural projects designed to last for generations.

Easy, trouble-free installation

The profiles are available in customizable lengths of up to 6.2 m and can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The range of accessories with starter, closing and corner profiles ensures easy, trouble-free installation. The ripple profile is available powder-coated* or uncoated (anodizable material).

* No powder coating possible in P.10 colours

Ideal for balcony cladding

The extruded profiles (serrated profile and ripple profile) from PREFA are extremely robust and unbreakable due to their profile thickness of 2 mm, whereby even sensitive areas on the building can be permanently and durably clad.

With the stainless steel balcony rivet, PREFABOND as well as the serrated profile and the ripple profile are securely fastened to balcony and parapet cladding. In the system, the balcony rivet is tested for the increased requirements with regard to fall-through protection. This is proven by pendulum impact tests in accordance with the requirements of the ETB Directive (components that protect against falls) and EN 12600:2002-11 in cooperation with an external testing institute.

Be inspired by reference properties that have already been implemented with the ripple profile.

A ripple profile façade is a very robust way to clad the exterior wall. In this case, it doesn’t matter whether the entire façade or only a partial surface is implemented.

You also have free rein in terms of the colour:

  • Ripple profiles are available in plain aluminium (anodizable material)
  • as well as in a powder-coated version (not in P.10 colours).
