FSC paper composite worktops


Richlite, established in 1943 in USA has now been introduced to the UK and is available in a choice of 7 colours and thicknesses (6mm to 75mm). Made from layers of FSC paper bonded with VOC free Phenolyic resins, it is extremely strong (literally bullet-proof!), durable and water impervious. It stands heat temperatures up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and is virtually maintenance free. It has been widely used for commercial and residential kitchens because of its excellent hygienic properties and yet is equally at home in industrial, hardworking environments. Architects have used the material for cladding, wall decoration and furniture. Richlite can be machined and sanded just like wooden worktops and has an appearance similar to slate. Contact Woodentops for more information and samples. For further information, telephone 01392 421111, email info@richliteworktops.co.uk or visit www.richlite.com
