Overview:
Richlite Company pioneered the paper-composite surface industry beginning in 1943. Architects and designers consistently surprise us with the creative uses they find for Richlite. The list never ends. And the product lasts a lifetime.

Richlite is a high performance material appropriate for any residential or commercial surface application. It's a versatile product that has natural beauty, longevity and sustainability. The material is dense and durable with comparable features to solid surfaces and stone; including stain, heat and scratch resistance, sanitary benefits and long cantilevers and spans.

Some uses for Richlite are: exterior wall cladding, commercial and residential countertops , industrial applications by the aerospace and marine industry, sanitary food prep surfaces, outdoor furniture and signage.

Richlite Co. will be exhibiting at the upcoming AIA Show on June 20-22, 2013 in Denver, CO. Come see Richlite Co. at booth # 1539.
