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 applied by trained specialists over marble, quartzite, granite, travertine and engineered stone. It forms a physical barrier so acids and spills contact the film, not the stone, stopping both etching and staining.

Why Launceston homes choose DURAFLEX
As Tasmania’s second city, Launceston has a strong stock of heritage homes around the city and inner suburbs alongside steady new building further out, and stone kitchens turn up across both. The historic homes often pair period rooms with a soft white marble bench, while the newer ones favour large engineered stone islands, and in either case the surface is the centrepiece owners least want to see etched.
It is worth remembering that marble is beautiful and fragile, and a penetrating sealer only slows staining while leaving acid etching untouched. DURAFLEX sits on the surface as a clear, self-healing barrier so wine, citrus and cleaning sprays never reach the stone. Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX, your Launceston kitchen keeps its showpiece bench without the constant care.
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 Launceston job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Launceston and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Launceston and the wider Launceston 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 Launceston estimate is no-obligation.
Launceston marble protection: common questions
Do you install DURAFLEX in Launceston?
Yes. We service Launceston and the surrounding northern Tasmanian area as part of our coverage. A specialist installs the film at your home, so nothing needs to be removed off-site.
Will the film hide my marble’s veining or finish?
No. DURAFLEX is optically clear and heat-sealed at every edge, so the colour, veining and finish remain fully visible. Most people cannot tell the film is there.
Is DURAFLEX worth it over just sealing the stone?
For complete protection, yes. A sealer only slows staining and cannot stop acid etching, whereas DURAFLEX is a barrier that stops both because spills meet the film instead of the stone.
Who carries out the installation?
It is done by specialists trained in automotive paint protection film technique, not stone masons. The film is heat-sealed at every edge for a clean, durable finish.
How long does it take and what is the warranty?
Installation is a single visit of a few hours with no downtime, so the kitchen is usable the same day. The film carries an up-to-10-year warranty against bubbling, lifting and yellowing and is 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.
