20-40mm Roofing Pebbles are a washed and graded pebble specifically chosen for their smooth and rounded properties.
Roofing Pebbles are designed for use on flat roofing systems as ballast to prevent uplift during windy conditions also to protect underlying membranes from UV damage. Roofing Pebbles are also excellent in assisting drainage and act as a natural fire barrier.
20-40mm Roofing Pebbles should be laid at 50-75mm depth and may require calculations by a structural engineer. Typically, one of our Bulk Bags will cover 10m2 at 40-50mm depth. For larger areas you may wish to use our quantity calculator located at the top right hand side of this page under the grey "How Much Will I Need" tab. Simply enter your measurements to reveal the required tonnage. Please be sure to enter the length and width figures in metres and the depth in millimetres to give the correct quantity.
20-40mm Roofing Pebbles can be spread at 50-75mm directly onto a suitable membrane. For larger projects, a crane is often used to lift bags into position where they can be easily cut open and the contents spread. Smaller projects may be more labour intensive requiring an old-fashioned bucket and ladder approach.
20-40mm Roofing Pebbles should be trouble free! They may require periodic raking to remove leaves but nothing more than that. The product can even be power washed to remove heavier grimy deposits, but we recommend doing this during the drier summer months to avoid waterlogging.
It is essential that the Roofing Pebbles used are free from sharp edges to prevent damage to delicate membranes. Standard Gravels will have an element of sharp/angular material and thus are not suitable.
