Roofing Stone in a 1.125" to 2.5" Size Range

Roofing stone in the 1.125" to 2.5" size range is a durable aggregate specifically selected for use on flat or low-slope commercial roofing systems, such as built-up or ballasted roofs. This material is typically produced from high-quality, weather-resistant rock that is crushed and screened to meet precise size specifications.

The larger size range of 1.125" to 2.5" offers excellent wind resistance and stability, helping to anchor roofing membranes and protect against UV exposure and physical damage. These stones are heavy enough to stay in place during storms, yet still allow for adequate drainage, preventing water accumulation on the roof surface. Commonly used in commercial roofing, this aggregate is also suitable for green roofs, rooftop gardens, and other applications where ballast and protection are required. While the larger stones provide superior protection and drainage, they may be less suitable for areas requiring a smoother walking surface.
