Unlike stone, plastic and other solid-surface materials, Richlite is an incredibly durable, sustainable and versatile material made from paper. High-grade custom FSC-certified paper infused with a thermosetting resin is laid up by hand and pressed into a solid panel.
Developed over 80 years ago for industrial tooling, Richlite has evolved into a premium surface material used by aerospace, extreme sports, marine, food prep and the architecture and design community.
Layers of high-quality engineered paper are infused with thermosetting resin before they are cut to length and laid up by hand. Richlite’s signature surface texture comes from the natural variation in how the fibers lay within the paper. Each sheet is carefully stacked, alternating the direction of the paper for ultimate balance and stability. The stacks are pressed under heat and pressure, which bonds the layers of paper together and cures the product. The panels are then slowly cooled to produce a solid and stable sheet material.
Building a sustainable future has always been a part of the Richlite vision. Our products and processes help regenerate and sustain the health and vitality of all life for generations to come
All Richlite board materials are made either with FSC-certified paper and/or post-consumer recycled paper or cardboard.

Richlite is a solid, through-colour composite material made from compressed paper. Super dense, highly durable and versatile, it's used in everything from tooling and mould-making to skate ramps, interior design, chopping boards and quite often - kitchen surfaces.

Think of Richlite as you would stainless, wood, or copper countertops—showing their wear is part of their appeal. If you appreciate the way a material like stainless gets a nice patina and ages over time, Richlite is right for you,
The material is resistant to scratches and burns but, like most surfaces, can potentially be damaged by cutting directly on the surface or setting a red-hot frying pan on the surface. Richlite recommends the use of cutting boards, hot pads and trivets to protect the surface from potential damage.
