Get PriceDesign of Loose-Laid Gravel Stone Ballasted Roofs Roofing membranes have the potential for "wind uplift" if they are exposed to high pressure differentials above and below the membrane. Forces which create pressure differentials are suction from above, as wind sweeps across the roof, and high interior building pressures from underneath. For unadhered, loose-laid roofing membranes, ballast is

Get PriceA "ballasted roof" generally refers to a single ply roof membrane that is held in place against wind uplift by loading the surface with either stone ballast or pavers. The membrane for such systems is usually not attached to the substrate, although some systems do have supplementary perimeter attachment.
