Naturally Beautiful Countertops

Naturally Beautiful CountertopsRichlite® paper composite architectural surfaces are ideal for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, table tops and desk tops. Just like Paperstone, Richlite durable surfaces are made from recycled paper baked in a phenolic resin to give the material its superior strength and non-porosity. All of their materials are made from FSC Certified (Forest Stewardship Council) or post consumer recycled paper. Richlite products are also GreenGuard certified for indoor use in residential, school and institutional environments. They are VOC free and do not off-gass. As well, Richlite Company captures the heat from its production process for reuse in its facility.

Richlite surfaces come with a matte finish that brings a warm ambience to a room that is rarely achievable with stone or other solid surfaces. Its look is natural and soft on the eye and the finish is warm to the touch. Because their slabs can be fabricated with conventional woodworkers tools, Richlite can be used to create a great variety of edges and shapes.

Richlite FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is available in seven vibrant earth tones that reflect the natural beauty of the Mount Ranier and Olympic National Park regions. Richlite Cascade is a new spin on solid surfaces providing a layered, multi-colored edge for progressive design tastes.
