Battery Point homes often pair period character with a modern stone kitchen, and that contrast only works while the marble stays flawless. DURAFLEX is an invisible, self-healing film that protects the benchtop without altering the look you carefully chose.

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!

DURAFLEX is a polyurethane surface protection film applied by specialists over marble, limestone, travertine, granite and engineered stone. It acts as a physical barrier so spills and acids land on the film, not the stone, which stops etching and staining instead of merely slowing them.

Why Battery Point renovations choose DURAFLEX
Battery Point is one of Hobart’s most historic pockets, full of tightly held cottages and Georgian-era homes where a kitchen renovation is a considered investment. When you have restored a heritage property and finished it with a marble or limestone bench, the last thing you want is an etch mark from a wedge of lemon two months later.
Because these are character homes, owners tend to want protection that is genuinely invisible, and DURAFLEX is heat-sealed at every edge so it disappears into the surface. We also serve neighbouring Sandy Bay, New Town and Kingston. Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX, the soft old-world stone stays protected while the kitchen still feels every bit as refined as the home around it.
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 Battery Point job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Battery Point and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Battery Point and the wider Hobart 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 Battery Point estimate is no-obligation.
Battery Point marble protection: common questions
Do you install in heritage homes around Battery Point?
Yes, regularly. The film is applied on-site by a specialist and does not require any structural change, so it suits restored and character properties throughout Battery Point and inner Hobart.
I have a limestone benchtop, can it be protected too?
Yes. Limestone is soft and acid-sensitive like marble, and DURAFLEX forms a clear barrier over it that stops both etching and staining while keeping its natural texture visible.
Marble is beautiful and fragile, will the film really keep it that way?
That is the whole purpose of the film. By sitting on top as a self-healing layer, it takes the contact from spills and acids so the soft stone underneath stays as it was the day it was installed.
Can you reach nearby suburbs as well?
Yes. As well as Battery Point we cover Sandy Bay, New Town, Kingston and the broader Hobart region as part of our Tasmanian service.
How long is the protection guaranteed?
DURAFLEX comes with an up-to-10-year warranty against bubbling, lifting and yellowing, and the film is independently CSIRO fire-tested for confidence in daily use.

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.
