Kingston has grown quickly with new family homes, and a stone benchtop is almost standard in those modern kitchens. DURAFLEX is an invisible, self-healing film that protects that investment from the etching and staining marble is prone to.

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 polyurethane surface protection film fitted by specialists over marble, engineered stone, quartzite, granite and travertine. It works as a physical barrier so acids and spills meet the film instead of the stone, which stops etching and staining rather than just delaying them.

Why Kingston kitchens choose DURAFLEX
Just south of Hobart and close to the beach, Kingston is full of newer estates and growing families, and many of those homes were finished with light engineered stone or marble-look surfaces in the kitchen. New owners are often surprised that the showpiece bench can dull from a splash of juice or a marinade left sitting, especially in a household with young kids and constant cooking.
Rather than asking everyone to wipe instantly and hover over the island, DURAFLEX lets you stop playing the marble police and get on with family life. The self-healing film takes the contact from citrus, wine and cleaning products so the surface stays bright. We also look after nearby Sandy Bay, Battery Point and New Town across the Hobart region.
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 Kingston job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Kingston and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Kingston 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 Kingston estimate is no-obligation.
Kingston marble protection: common questions
Do you cover Kingston and the southern Hobart suburbs?
Yes. We service Kingston along with Sandy Bay, Battery Point, New Town and the broader Hobart area. A specialist installs the film on-site at your home.
My benchtop is engineered stone, does it still benefit from the film?
It can. Many light engineered stones still show acid marks and staining, and DURAFLEX adds a clear protective layer that keeps the surface looking new in a busy kitchen.
Is this better than a sealer for a new home?
Yes, for full protection. A sealer only slows staining and cannot stop acid etching, while DURAFLEX is a surface barrier that stops both since nothing acidic reaches the stone.
How soon can we use the kitchen after installation?
The same day. It is a single visit of a few hours with no curing period or downtime, and there is zero maintenance required once it is on.
What is covered by the warranty?
DURAFLEX is backed by an up-to-10-year warranty covering bubbling, lifting and yellowing, and the film has been independently CSIRO fire-tested.

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.
