A profile element for attachment to the rear side of a façade panel, which in turn is fastened to a base such as a building surface or substructure. The profile element is formed in one piece and includes three functional sections arranged one after another: a fixing section for fixing the profile element to a base; a support section for attachment to the façade panel; and a spacer element which, in the installed state, ensures the correct distance between the base and the rear side of the façade panel. The profile element is extendible by a supplementary element, which has functionally similar elements and is only used if required by the geometry of the façade panel. The supplementary element is usable for positive connection to the profile element of an adjacent façade panel. Such a façade system provides flexibility for a wide variety of types and dimensions of façade panels.
