Commonly referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs, built-up systems redundant layers give it exceptional resistance to water and weather.

Built up roofs generally are considered to be fully adhered if applied directly to roof decks or insulation.

The coal tar or asphalt is heated in a kettle or tanker and then applied by mop or mechanical spreader.
