A Tar and gravel roof, also known as a built-up roof (BUR), is a popular choice for flat or low-slope structures. It consists of multiple layers of tar, felt, and gravel that create a durable, weather-resistant surface. The gravel protects the tar from UV rays and adds weight to keep the layers in place. This type of roofing is known for its longevity and ability to handle heavy foot traffic. Tar and gravel roofs provide excellent insulation, helping to reduce energy costs. Over time, they may develop leaks or blistering, requiring occasional maintenance. Proper drainage is key to prevent water pooling and damage. With regular care, these roofs can last 20 to 30 years or more.
