RICHLITE
RECYCLED PAPER SOLID SURFACE
Richlite is an incredibly durable, extremely versatile, and highly sustainable material made from resin-infused paper. Originally developed over 70 years ago for industrial tooling and pattern making.
Handmade from many layers of high quality custom craft paper, Richlite’s surface texture comes from the natural variation in the way fibers lay within the paper. Composed of approximately 65% FSC® certified or recycled paper content and 35% phenolic resin, Richlite’s color comes from a combination of the paper and the amber tone of the resin.
A signature mottled appearance and warmth complement Richlite’s range of interior and exterior applications including furniture, cabinetry, cladding, skateparks, consumer products, signage, retail displays, restaurant tables, bar tops, and worktops, and for industrial use in die stock, silent gears, and foundry patterns. Dense and durable, yet easily tooled, pleasing to the eye, and with its smooth, natural aesthetic, Richlite has become a choice material for a wide range of architects, designers, industrial manufacturers and product developers.

UNIQUE FINISHES
Mill Finish
Straight out of the press and on to your application.
No applied finish needed to appreciate our mill texture. |
Leathered Finish
Keeps the texture of Richlite, but an added applied finish enriches the colour and adds a layer of protection.
|
Honed Finish
Looking for more of a satin look? A simple sanding process and an applied finish will achieve our honed look.

PLEASE NOTE: Richlite are among a number of companies with the emerging badge of 'Rapid Renewable Fibre' (RRF). However, this is not a legitimate ecological or sustainability certification or guarantee. Moreover, RRF has been considered and rejected by some organisations on the basis of not denoting how sustainable a product is, rather that the source timber was harvested within 10 years of sowing.
