"Liquid rubber dependent on the actual roof but if it was pitched I would personally go with natural slate as after heavy storms the slates stay where they are where as tiles may lift

Liquid rubber on the flat or on a smaller are of pitched roofing as the product ends up being one seamless roof no signs or water could get up underneath"
