("BTI" or the "Company"), at $8.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed

On June 15, 2000, CertainTeed and Purchaser disseminated the Supplement and the
related revised form of Letter of Transmittal relating to the Improved Offer.
The Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal are amended
and supplemented by such documents, which have been filed as exhibits hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
This Amendment No. 20 to Schedule TO also constitutes Amendment No. 20 to the
statement on Schedule 13D of Parent, Saint-Gobain and Vetrotex, filed on
February 18, 1997.
ITEMS 1, 4 AND 11.
Items 1, 4 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented to
include the following information:
On June 30, 2000, CertainTeed and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, VA
Acquisition Corporation, announced the completion of the initial offering period
of their Improved Offer for Shares of BTI at $8.50 per Share, net to the seller
in cash. The Improved Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
Thursday, June 29, 2000, at which time approximately 3,496,700 Shares were
validly tendered and not withdrawn, including guaranteed deliveries. These
Shares, together with the 713,746 Shares owned by VA Acquisition Corporation's
affiliate, Vetrotex CertainTeed Corporation, represent approximately 80% of the
outstanding Shares. Vetrotex intends to promptly transfer its BTI Shares to VA
Acquisition Corporation. CertainTeed and VA Acquisition Corporation have
accepted for payment all validly tendered shares, and payment for the accepted
shares will be made promptly through ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C.,
the depository for the Improved Offer.
CertainTeed and VA Acquisition Corporation also announced that they will
provide a subsequent offering period of 10 business days for the Improved
Offer, which will commence at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, June 30,
2000, and expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, July 14,
2000. During the subsequent offering period Shares tendered may not be
withdrawn. Shares validly tendered will be accepted as they are tendered and
promptly paid for at the same price paid for Shares purchased during the initial
offering period.
Following the subsequent offering period, CertainTeed, VA Acquisition
Corporation and BTI will proceed with their previously announced merger pursuant
to which all remaining BTI Shares will be cancelled and converted into the right
to receive $8.50 in cash. The two exceptions to this are that (i) no
consideration will be paid for Shares owned by VA Acquisition Corporation or any
affiliated corporation and, (ii) shareholders who perfect dissenters' rights
will instead receive payment pursuant to that process.
ITEM 12.
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to include
the following Exhibit:
(a)(31) Text of press release issued by CertainTeed, dated June 30, 2000.
