Let’s be honest: most chopping boards demand too much from us. When we started Everyday Boards here in our Bristol family kitchen, we were fed up. We looked in our cupboards and found a "graveyard" of compromises. There were heavy wooden boards that needed constant oiling (and still warped). There were flimsy plastic boards covered in deep scratches, shedding micro-plastics into our dinners. And don't even get us started on glass boards that blunt a good knife in seconds.
We knew there had to be a better way. We wanted a board that worked as hard as we did, without the fuss.
That’s when we discovered Richlite® wood fibre.
What is Richlite?
Richlite is a premium, high-density material made from layers of FSC-certified paper and wood fibre, baked together under immense heat and pressure. It’s been the secret weapon in commercial kitchens and professional bakeries for decades, but we realized it was the absolute perfect "Goldilocks" material for the modern home.
Here is exactly why we chose it to build the last chopping boards you’ll ever need:
-
It Goes in the Dishwasher: Unlike traditional wood, Richlite is completely non-porous. When the cooking is done,you just toss it in the dishwasher on a hot cycle. No warping, no cracking, no splitting.
-
It Protects Your Knives: The material has a natural, microscopic "give" to it. It’s tough enough to withstand daily chopping, but soft enough that it won't blunt your expensive kitchen knives.
-
It Takes the Heat: Richlite is heat-resistant up to 175°C. You can pull a blistering hot pan straight out of the oven and set it right on the board. It doubles as the ultimate trivet.
-
Zero Micro-Plastics: We believe you shouldn't have to eat your kitchenware. Our boards are 100% micro-plastic free and food safe, giving you total peace of mind.
-
No Maintenance Required: Throw away the mineral oil and beeswax. These boards are ready to go straight out of the box and never need seasoning.
Built for a Decade of Dinners
We didn't just want to make a board that looked pretty on a countertop; we wanted to make a tool you can rely on. By choosing Richlite wood fibre, we are so confident in the durability of our boards that we back every single one with a 10-Year Material Warranty.
No fuss. No plastic. Just a brilliant board ready for everyday life.
