A Tar and gravel roof is a type of built-up roofing system commonly used for flat or low-slope roofs. It consists of multiple layers of bitumen (tar or asphalt) combined with a layer of gravel on top. The layers are applied to provide a durable and waterproof surface, offering protection against the elements. This roofing system is highly resistant to harsh weather, including extreme sun and rain, making it ideal for commercial buildings and homes in areas with frequent storms. The gravel helps protect the underlying layers from UV damage and debris, while also providing added weight for stability. Tar and gravel roofs are low maintenance but may require occasional inspections to check for wear or damage. With proper care, they can provide long-lasting protection for decades.
