ballasting layer / weighing down layer
Explanation:
A method of ballasting the roof covering layer(s) on a substantially flat roof, comprising the steps of applying a layer of ballasting material on the roof covering layer(s), wherein said ballasting material is formed by a mortar, which is mainly composed of a granulated mineral wool, a hydraulic binder and water, said mortar being allowed to set after being applied on the surface to be ballasted.

The other method would be to ballast your roof by sticking it around the perimeter and then placing either paving stones or pea gravel in the centre of the roof to weigh it down, however this method is rarely ever used and is not very cost effective
