Stratum
Richlite® partnered with Smith & Fong Plyboo® to create a layered paper and bamboo surface material. The Earth's surface is composed of diverse layers of rock and soil formed by natural forces that enable life to thrive on the surface. A stratum is a bed of earth with consistent composition naturally laid amid visually distinct layers.
Natural beauty, longevity and sustainability give Richlite Stratum a mark of distinction in the architectural community. It's a versatile building material with character that complements rugged to refined designs from contemporary urban centers to rustic mountain hideaways.
