Mother of pearl
Your recycled, recyclable solid surface alternative to resin
Karlite is a material with memory. Once designed for clarity and endurance as car headlights, it now finds new purpose as a solid surface material for architecture and design. Transformed entirely from recycled plastic, Karlite offers strength, subtle beauty, and a unique story embedded in every piece.
Karlite solid surface sheets are made from recycled industrial plastic waste, shred into granules. Karlite is 100% recyclable.
