TAR AND GRAVEL ROOFING
|
|
Tar and Gravel Roof (also called Built-up Roofs or BURs) is a well-known style of flat roof that is made up of alternating layers of roofing felts and hot asphalt, which combines to make a long-lasting durable roof system. The gravel embedded on the flood coat of asphalt protects the built up roofing membranes from elements including UV rays, rain and snow.
The gravel embedded into the flood coat of asphalt can prevent degradation like cracking or blistering of the membranes which lead to leaks or other failures over time. It is important to have bare areas caused by wind, water or natural elements repaired as soon as possible to keep the membrane underneath in working condition.
