A tar and gravel roof, also known as a built-up roof (BUR), is a durable and weather-resistant roofing system commonly used on flat or low-slope roofs. It consists of multiple layers of tar, reinforced with roofing felt or fiberglass, and finished with a layer of gravel for added protection. The gravel helps shield the roof from UV rays, extreme temperatures, and impact damage. This type of roofing is highly effective in waterproofing and provides excellent insulation. Regular maintenance, such as removing debris and checking for cracks, can extend its lifespan. While durable, it may require occasional re-coating or patching to prevent leaks. Proper drainage is essential to avoid water pooling, which can lead to deterioration. With proper care, a tar and gravel roof can last for decades.
