Strength and style, crafted from paper. Recycled composite surfaces with surprising versatility and durability

Richlite – an incredibly durable material made from something completely unexpected – paper. It’s used by aerospace, extreme sports, marine, food prep and the architecture and design community. Recycled, reworkable and built to last, Richlite has a look like blackened steel with a tactile touch like leather or linoleum. Whether it’s used for work surfaces, wall panels, furniture or bespoke joinery, bold design meets the surprising power of paper with Richlite.

About Richlite

Developed over 70 years ago for industrial tooling, Richlite has evolved into a premium surface material. Its mottled appearance, honed look, leathery feel, and warmth complement a range of interior and exterior applications including furniture cabinetry, shopfitting, cladding, consumer products, signage, retail displays, restaurant tables, bar tops, and worktops.

Nonporous, and heat/water resistant, this paper composite can withstand everything – from food prep to the harsh outdoors. Whether selected for its durability, strength, sustainability or unique look and feel, Richlite outperforms and outlasts conventional materials.
