It is a brand name for TPO roofing frabric. Maintains its original color longer the EPDM fabrics, usually.
The materials, EPDM and TPO especially, have not been in service long enough (10-20 years) to determine which has a longer life, considering that the most recent TPO formulations have not much more than five years experience.
That would not be accurate. Our 2000 Dutch Star gasser, which came home in 1999, had a BriteTek roof. Thats 18 years ago.
You may be thinking of the new Alpha roof membrane, which is different. I recently installed an Alpha roof on a friends 5th wheel. It required different sealants and was thinner than BriteTek, plus it didn't have the felt backing like the BriteTek Newmar uses.
