In Ascot, the kitchen is often the showpiece of a substantial home, and the stone chosen for it tends to be fine marble selected for its veining and movement. The catch is that the more beautiful and fragile the marble, the more a single acidic spill can spoil it with a dull etch mark. DURAFLEX protects that investment without changing a thing about how it looks.

What are we protecting?
Sealing vs protection film: what each one does
A sealer slows how fast liquids absorb into the stone and needs reapplying over time, but it offers no defence against acid etching. DURAFLEX is a physical barrier bonded to the surface: it stops both staining and etching, needs zero maintenance, and is backed by an up-to-10-year warranty. The two work together, the seal prepares the stone and the film protects it.

I would highly recommend Duraflex. It's a premium product and worth the investment. Chris and Matt were incredibly helpful with assigning me getting a few stains out of a new marble bench top. Amazing customer service and very happy!

Our benches look incredible, was hoping for protection maybe at the expense of aesthetics but it looks and feels supreme. The whole process was smooth and everyone was super professional.

DURAFLEX is a clear, self-healing polyurethane surface film applied over marble and natural stone by specialists trained in automotive paint protection. It stops both etching and staining by keeping every spill on the film, not the stone. It is heat-sealed at each edge, fitted in a single visit, and needs no maintenance once it is on.

Why Ascot homes protect their stone
Ascot is one of Brisbane’s most established prestige suburbs, set on the rise near Eagle Farm, with grand homes where kitchens and butler’s pantries are finished to a high standard. Owners here have usually paid a premium for statement marble, so it makes little sense to leave its protection to a sealer that merely slows staining and offers nothing against etching. A film that physically blocks acids is the level of protection these surfaces were always meant to have.
We service the river-end prestige belt, from Ascot through Hamilton and New Farm to Teneriffe, with South Brisbane and West End nearby. You spent a lot of time choosing that slab. Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX doing the protecting now, so you can entertain, cook and pour freely while the stone stays exactly as it was the day it was installed.
Automotive-trained installers, not stone tradespeople
Film application is a precision job that rewards a steady hand and patience with edges. That background exists in automotive paint protection film installation, not stone restoration. Every DURAFLEX installer comes from the automotive film industry, and the technique transfers directly to stone: tension management, edge trimming and heat sealing.
Heat sealing and the up-to-10-year warranty
After the film is applied it is heat sealed to the surface. This activates the adhesive, closes the edges and removes the micro-lifting points that cause bubbling over time. The up-to-10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting and yellowing, and every Ascot job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Ascot and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Ascot and the wider Brisbane area. Installation is completed in a single visit with no curing period and no downtime, so the kitchen is back in normal use the same day, and every Ascot estimate is no-obligation.
Ascot marble protection: common questions
We chose a high-end marble for its veining. Will the film hide it?
Not at all. DURAFLEX is optically clear and conforms to the surface, so the veining and movement you paid for show through unchanged. It protects the look rather than altering it.
Can you protect a butler’s pantry as well as the main island?
Yes. We commonly fit both the main kitchen and the pantry in the same visit, since both surfaces face spills and prep. Everything is heat-sealed at the edges for a clean finish.
Is the film durable enough for daily prep on a large island?
Yes. It is self-healing against light scratches and acts as a hard barrier against etching and staining. The up-to-10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting and yellowing.
Do we need to change our cleaning products?
No. Because spills and cleaners contact the film and not the marble, you can wipe down normally without worrying about acidic residues etching the stone underneath.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Will I be able to see or feel it?
No. It’s optically clear and ultra-thin, so the stone looks exactly the same. Customers love the satin feel of our ULTRA Satin-X film (if that’s what you’re into).
Does it actually stop stains and etching?
DURAFLEX is completely non porous, meaning spills don’t stand a chance. Wine, coffee, oil and citrus wipe away completely, protecting the stone from etching and staining.
How long does installation take?
Most kitchens are completed in a single day, approximately 2 hours per surface.
