One of the significant disadvantages of a built-up roof is its weight. The multiple layers of bitumen and roofing felts, along with the gravel or stone ballast used to protect the roof, make it a heavy roofing system. This weight may require additional structural support to ensure the building can handle the load.Web

The two main types of ballast used for roof assemblies are smooth, river-washed stone and concrete roof pavers. We can still design a reflective ballasted roof using certain roof pavers, such as Hanover Pavers' highly reflective Glacier White, which has an SRI of 84. Ballasted roof pavers aren't just reflective; they can also be reused in ...Web

The stone ballast on a ballasted roof system is the only thing holding the roof system in place. The insulation is loose laid onto the decking. There are no fasteners installed at all (3 and 4). Next the membrane is rolled over the insulation (2). This again is loose so there are no fasteners or glues used to hold it down.Web

The stones used in ballasted roofing are generally 1.5 - 2.5 inches in diameter and applied in a thicker layer. The stones are therefore much more substantial and hold up well under wind tunnel tests. In many cases, ballasted roofing also uses pavers in places of heavy traffic or even over the entire surface of the roof.Web

The traditional cool-roof membrane surface had a peak surface temperature of approximately 102.5 F (39 C). When surface temperatures were taken, the traditional cool-roof membrane reflectivity still was above the minimum reflectance value of 0.65 for new roofs, indicating that the ballast systems are performing as cool roofs.Web

However, if the ballast is small pea or pebble size rock, then it should be ok. The large stone ballast has such a large thermal mass that the wet insulation below doesn't alter the temp of the stone over the area enough to produce a reliable scan. Another thing to consider is what type of insulation is under the EPDM roof.Web
