Quality that stands the test of time

By Jesse Sanchez. 

A trusted name in roofing for nearly four decades. 

BITEC's roofing products are synonymous with durability and trust in the construction industry. Since its founding in 1986, the company has maintained its unwavering commitment to producing high-quality modified bitumen membranes, establishing itself as a go-to solution for contractors who prioritize reliability and long-term performance.  

In an industry where some manufacturers have cut corners by using cheaper filler materials to reduce costs, BITEC has taken a different path. The company prides itself on standing firm, remaining loyal to its original formulas and delivering products that meet the highest standards. “When it comes to roofing, quality is key,” reads BITEC’s product brochure, a statement that reflects their core philosophy. 

BITEC’s product range is extensive, offering both APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) modified bitumen membranes, along with a variety of adhesives, coatings and underlayments. APP membranes, known for their durability and resistance to UV rays, are ideal for applications where weather exposure is a significant factor. On the other hand, SBS membranes are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions while providing enhanced strength and flexibility, making them a versatile choice for both commercial and residential projects. Additionally, BITEC’s Imperflex® self-adhering membranes are specifically tailored for residential applications. These membranes offer a safer and more convenient installation process, particularly beneficial for low-sloped roofs where traditional materials like shingles are less effective. 

What truly sets BITEC apart, however, is the personalized support they offer. As a smaller company, BITEC fosters close relationships with its clients, offering hands-on assistance and tailored service — an attribute larger corporations often lack. "We’ll be there for you when you need us," the company promises. 

The testimonials from long-standing customers speak volumes. Tony Hall, founder of Paradigm Roofing, notes, “Their attention to quality stands alone and truly sets them apart from other manufacturers." Similarly, Dell Jackson, branch manager at Gulfeagle Supply, of Panama City, Florida, highlights that contractors specifically demand BITEC products due to their high quality and consistent performance. Ted Sheldon, another satisfied distributor from Gulfeagle Supply in Gulfport, Mississippi, adds, “The adage ‘do one thing and do it better than anyone else’ comes to mind. We are very happy to be a BITEC distributor.” 

BITEC’s dedication to quality extends beyond its products—it’s reflected in the service they provide and the trust they build with their customers. For contractors or project managers searching for roofing solutions that deliver both performance and peace of mind, BITEC’s offerings present a compelling choice. From the strength of their membranes to the responsiveness of their customer support, BITEC has proven its place as a leader in the roofing industry.
