THE BLACK DIAMOND NAME: In the wooded hills bordering the Cascade mountain range, Black Diamond’s roots beckon backto the mining days of 1880. Today the quant berg is home to a growing number of people who have relocated to the area to enjoy the serenity of nature.
Black Diamond is a rich, velvety black. Our most popular color, Richlite’s Black Diamond is well known for its true black surface and consistent color throughout the thickness of the material.
PATINA: Richlite patinas like a natural wood product and varies from sheet to sheet. Like wood, it will mature in color, giving greater depth to the surface. Over time and with use, Richlite will develop a seasoned appearance characteristic of the material. There will be more luster in areas of heavier use. Overall, it will appear softer and deeper in tone.
THROUGH COLOR: The Black Diamond color comes from a combination of the paper and the deep amber tone of the resin. Richlite's unique manufacturing process uses pre-colored paper. As a result, the color is solid all the way through the material.
SURFACE APPEARANCE: Due to the natural variation in the way fibers lay within the panel, Richlite has a mottled appearance that patterns in a lengthwise direction. This is less apparent in dark colors, such as Black Diamond; however, the mottled appearance is still present.
