Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
On ballasted and BUR roofs the gravel stop is doing two jobs: retaining surfacing and terminating the membrane edge, so keep the flange fastened to a solid nailer and seal per the membrane manufacturer's detail. White finish helps with reflectivity at the edge. Confirm the 1/8 in. face offset matches your edge buildup before ordering the full perimeter.
Work near roof edges only with fall protection in place; metal edging edges are sharp, so wear gloves.
Order the TopShield Low Rise Gravel Guard to finish and protect your low-slope roof edge.
