It takes fortitude and ingenuity to carve out a life in the woods. Richlite Company pioneered the paper-composite surface Industry beginning in 1943 beneath the majestic mountains and primeval forests of America's Pacific Northwest.

Like its surroundings, natural beauty, longevity and sustainability give Richlite's materials a mark of distinction in the architectural community. It's a versatile product with character that complements rugged to refined designs from urban centers to mountain hideaways.

Architects and designers consistently surprise us with the creative uses they find for Richlite. Kitchens, baths, commercial reception areas, stair treads, exterior wall cladding, cutting surfaces, guitar parts, outdoor furniture, signage, luxury ping pong tables, it never ends. And the product lasts a lifetime.

Additionally, Richlite's recycled series includes r50 and r100, names which reflect their percentage of recycled content.
