Albert Park is one of Melbourne’s most consistently renovated suburbs. The Victorian terrace homes here have been upgraded repeatedly, and the current renovation standard typically includes imported marble or engineered stone in the kitchen. DURAFLEX installs polyurethane surface protection film for Albert Park properties, giving those stone benchtops permanent protection against etching, staining, and heat damage.

The marble protection gap

Most Albert Park homeowners seal their stone on installation. It is the right first step, but it addresses only part of the problem. Sealing slows liquid absorption into the porous stone structure. It does not prevent the acid reaction at the polished surface that causes etching. DURAFLEX closes that gap. The polyurethane film sits on top of the sealer, above the stone, and prevents acids from reaching it at all.

Protection for Albert Park stone

The film is invisible in use. DURAFLEX SPF Ultra absorbs approximately five percent of visible light and is undetectable at normal viewing distances. The finish of the stone is unchanged. The veining reads identically. What the film changes is the chemistry of what can reach the stone surface: nothing.

Installation process

DURAFLEX installers come from the automotive paint protection film industry. Installation is completed in a single visit. After the film is applied across the stone surface, it is heat sealed, permanently bonding the adhesive and closing every edge. The kitchen is in normal use the same day. The 10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting, and yellowing.
