Countertops are central in our daily lives, home or workplace. They’re often at the heart of activity but seldom take center stage in conversations. In reality, most stone, solid surfaces and laminated materials tend to have a cold and uninviting appearance, lacking in personality. Richlite® paper-based countertops present a notable exception.
These surfaces offer a tactile softness and a natural aesthetic that stands out. Richlite has the remarkable ability to infuse warmth and character into space, sparking conversations both at home and in professional settings.
Richlite is heat resistant up to 350°F. Due to its high heat resistance, the material does not need additional protection near stoves
The color is solid all the way through the material. Since paper is a natural product derived from trees there are natural variations in the color of the finished product.
Richlite is NSF Certified and doesn’t harbor the colonization of bacteria which has made it a favorite among commercial chefs.
Richlite is a great alternative to stone, which can be cold and limited. It is a good insulator, that is durable, and able to to withstand the elements. Stop searching for “countertop for kitchen” and contact us today.
