Paper, reinvented
Richlite® transforms FSC® Certified paper and eco-conscious resins into durable, design-forward surfaces—engineered for demanding environments, including select exterior and fire-hazard applications.
Chapter 1: Origins
Layers with purpose
Richlite® was born from a simple yet radical idea: combining FSC-certified paper and eco-friendly resins into durable, design-forward surfaces. Today, it's trusted by architects and designers worldwide for its strength, sustainability, and timeless aesthetic—and now, its proven performance in wildfire-prone environments.
What started as an alternative to stone and composites has grown into a trusted material in architecture, interiors, and product design worldwide. From countertops and wall cladding to furniture, fixtures, and exterior façades in fire-hazard zones, Richlite brings durability and warmth to every application.
Performance and sustainability, seamlessly layered together.
Chapter 2: Performance
Strength meets sustainability
Engineered to perform under pressure, Richlite is heat-resistant, durable, and long-lasting without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. While all collections are ideal for interior applications, Richlite Slate is rated for exterior use and meets Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) requirements, having been tested and listed by CAL FIRE as a certified material for use in compliant exterior wall assemblies.
Its dense composition outperforms wood laminates and rivals stone, delivering resilience designers can depend on. Beyond performance, it develops a rich, leather-like patina that only gets better with time.
A sustainable surface that never compromises on performance.
Chapter 3: Design
Beauty in every layer
Richlite's layered form reveals depth, character, and a patina that improves over time. Built primarily for interiors, with select exterior applications, it shapes spaces with quiet strength.
Inspired by natural landscapes, Richlite brings warmth and richness to any surface, wherever you need it. Built to endure high-traffic use, it offers lasting strength and tactile appeal. More than functional, it unites performance and beauty, fitting seamlessly into spaces both modern and timeless.
A surface that grows richer with age.
Chapter 4: Versatility
From furniture to façades
Lightweight yet strong, Richlite adapts to a wide range of applications—residential, commercial, or exterior. In homes, it refines spaces as shelving, stair treads, and custom millwork; in commercial settings, it elevates reception desks, partitions, and retail displays; outdoors, it endures as benches, planters, and way-finding elements; and in food environments, its NSF certification ensures safe, reliable use for kitchens and restaurants.
Designers turn to Richlite for everything from lighting fixtures to exterior signage—demonstrating its range across scales and disciplines. Whether shaping precision joinery, expansive wall systems, or high-traffic installations, it performs effortlessly, empowering creativity without compromise.
One material, endless applications.
Chapter 5: Responsibility
Built in sustainability
Richlite material is engineered from layers of FSC® Certified paper and EcoBind resin, manufactured in the U.S. with a focus on minimizing waste and emissions. It is GREENGUARD certified for low chemical emissions, supporting healthier indoor air quality.
By designing durability into every sheet, it reduces the need for replacements—building sustainability that lasts. Its long lifecycle not only conserves resources but also lowers the overall carbon footprint of a project. Richlite is proof that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.
