Our

colours

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 colour comes from a combination of the paper and the amber tone of the resin.

surface

finishes

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.

*These are finishes that can be achieved by a professional millworker / fabricator. All Richlite products are shipped only as a mill finish.*

Mill

Straight out of the press and on to your application. No applied finish needed to appreciate our mill texture.

Leathered

Keeps the texture of Richlite, but an added applied finish enriches the colour and adds a layer of protection.

Honed

Looking for more of a satin look? A simple sanding process and an applied finish will achieve our honed look.
