Understanding Tar and Gravel Roofing

Have you ever seen gravel on the top of a flat roof and wondered its purpose? Gravel is often used to coat the top of flat roofs to protect the underlying layers from the elements, including ultraviolet rays, hail, and other extreme weather. The gravel extends the roof's lifespan and works to prevent cracking, blistering, and degradation.

Beneath the gravel lies roofing felt held together with asphalt. Adding more layers to the roof over time allows for quick and easy repairs and strengthening.

Many, if not most of the flat roofs found in the local area, are tar and gravel roofing. It is a tried-and-true approach that many property owners love, and our experts look forward to introducing you to its many benefits.

Rubber It Roofing & Protective Coatings Inc installs tar and gravel built-up roofing systems using advanced roofing technology that consists of layering high quality tar-saturated paper and liquid with gravel, asphalt, rolled asphalt, or modified bitumen. Layers are “built-up” to reinforce the roofing system and provide exceptional durability. The final layer of the completed roof installation is coated with bitumen (tar) and a layer of gravel to secure the entire system and to provide maximum protection from the sun’s UV rays and impact resistance.

Tar and Gravel Roof Maintenance and Repair

When properly installed and maintained by a qualified roofing professional, a tar and gravel roof provides property owners with a durable and cost effective system with an average lifespan of 20 – 25 years that can be extended with regular maintenance.
