Elenite is a next-generation low carbon Solid Surface, co-developed by LCI and Meganite. Designed for projects where appearance, performance and sustainability all matter, Elenite brings something genuinely different to the Solid Surface market.
Created using a recycled acrylic resin system and natural by-products, including bamboo fibre, walnut shell and walnut dust, Elenite offers a warm, tactile finish with distinctive visual character. It has been engineered to reduce carbon impact while still delivering the durability, reparability and design flexibility expected from a high-quality acrylic Solid Surface.
With its natural tones, subtle texture and calm, design-led palette, Elenite is ideal for interiors that need to feel considered, contemporary and responsible.
Key Features of Elenite Solid Surface
- Low Carbon Innovation: Elenite has been engineered to deliver significant CO₂ reductions compared with standard Solid Surface, helping specifiers and designers make more responsible material choices without compromising on performance.
- Recycled and Natural Content: Made with a minimum of 35% recycled content, Elenite incorporates natural waste materials, including bamboo fibre, walnut shell and walnut dust, creating a surface with depth, warmth and a more organic feel.
- Seamless Design: Elenite can be joined with colour-matched adhesive to create sleek, continuous surfaces with inconspicuous joins. This makes it well suited to worktops, countertops, wall panels, furniture and bespoke interior features.
- Durable and Repairable: Like other quality acrylic Solid Surfaces, Elenite is homogeneous, meaning the material continues through the full thickness of the sheet. This allows it to be sanded, refinished and lightly repaired, helping to extend the life of the surface.
- Stain Resistant and Easy to Maintain: Elenite is designed for real-life use. It is stain resistant, easy to clean and suitable for everyday commercial and residential interiors. Routine cleaning can usually be carried out with mild soap and water, with suitable disinfectants used where required.
- Silica-Free and Formaldehyde-Free: Elenite contains no silica and no formaldehyde, making it a thoughtful choice for projects where material safety, fabrication, and indoor environments are important considerations.
- Fire Rated Performance: Elenite achieves European Fire Rating EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0 and American Fire and Smoke Rating ASTM E84 Class A, supporting its use in a wide range of interior settings.
- Design Flexibility with a Natural Feel: Elenite has been created for spaces where design detail matters. Its palette takes inspiration from natural materials such as clay, stone, plaster and earth tones, giving it a warm, grounded quality that feels softer than many traditional hard surfaces.
The current colourways include Buckland Brown, Ashbee Beige, Ruskin White and Dawson Black, each offering a distinctive look with subtle natural inclusions.
Elenite is particularly suited to two-dimensional applications such as worktops, countertops, tabletops, wall panels and vertical surfaces. Its seamless joining capabilities also make it an excellent choice for bespoke furniture, reception desks and feature installations.
Due to the natural elements within the material, thermoforming may not be recommended for every application. If a project requires curves or more complex shaping, our team can advise on the best approach.
Design-led residential spaces looking for a more sustainable Solid Surface option.
Elenite is not recommended for areas with continuous water exposure, such as inside showers, pools or spas, or for spaces requiring the most stringent hygienic standards, such as hospital operating rooms. For these environments, our team can advise on the most suitable Solid Surface material for the application.

What exactly is Elenite?
Elenite is a next-generation, low-carbon solid surface material. It is engineered from a unique blend of natural waste materials, recycled acrylic resins, and virgin acrylic resins. It gives you the beautiful look and reliable durability of traditional solid surfaces, but with a much kinder impact on the planet.
How is Elenite better for the environment?
Sustainability is at the heart of Elenite. It contains a minimum of 35% recycled content and generates over 25% fewer CO₂ emissions compared to standard solid surfaces. To put that into perspective, every square metre of Elenite uses the equivalent of 683 recycled plastic bottles! Furthermore, it is a fully circular product, meaning it can be completely recycled or repurposed into new products at the end of its lifespan.
Where can I use Elenite in my home or project?
Elenite is highly versatile and perfect for worktops, tabletops, and vertical wall panels. However, because it incorporates real natural elements, it shouldn’t be used in areas that are constantly submerged in water (such as inside showers or swimming pools), nor is it suited for spaces requiring strict hospital-grade hygiene.
How do I clean and maintain my Elenite surfaces?
Everyday cleaning is wonderfully simple. Just use mild soap and water with a soft sponge or cloth. Common household window cleaners are also great for wiping away daily dirt. To keep the surface looking its best, you should avoid using harsh chemicals, strong acids, or abrasive scrub pads.
Is Elenite heat and scratch-resistant?
While Elenite is very durable, it is not completely heat or scratch-proof. We recommend always using a cutting board to prevent accidental scratches or gouges. Similarly, you should never place hot pots, pans, or heat-generating appliances directly on the surface, always use a heat-resistant pad or a trivet with rubber feet.
Can Elenite be repaired if it gets damaged?
Yes, absolutely! Just like traditional Solid Surfaces, Elenite is ‘homogeneous’, which means the material is identical all the way through. If your surface suffers a light scratch or a stubborn stain over the years, it can be easily sanded, refinished, and repaired by a professional to look as good as new.
Will the colour of my Elenite surface exactly match the samples?
Because Elenite proudly incorporates real natural materials (like wood fibres and walnut shells), slight variations in colour and texture are a normal part of its charm. Over time, these natural elements may subtly age and deepen in colour, adding a unique, organic character to your surface that you wouldn’t get from standard plastics
