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.
DURAFLEX is the invisible, self-healing polyurethane film that goes over your stone, so acids and spills meet the film instead of the marble. Etching and staining cannot reach the surface underneath. It is installed across Queensland by automotive-trained specialists, heat-sealed at every edge, and backed by an up-to-10-year warranty.
Queensland stone, subtropical living, and DURAFLEX
Queensland kitchens are built for indoor-outdoor living, from Queenslanders and riverfront homes in New Farm, Teneriffe and Hamilton to the waterfront estates of the Gold Coast and the holiday kitchens of Noosa. They see citrus, seafood marinades and long entertaining seasons, and polished marble etches the moment acid touches it, whatever the climate.
DURAFLEX lets Queensland cook and entertain without the worry. The film is optically clear and follows the polish of the stone, so a protected bench looks identical to an unprotected one, until something acidic spills and nothing happens. Stop playing the marble police in your own home. Don't worry, it's DURAFLEX.
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 Gold Coast job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Gold Coast and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Gold Coast and surrounding suburbs right across Queensland, from New Farm, Paddington, Ascot to Hamilton and Surfers Paradise. 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 estimate is no-obligation.

Gold Coast marble protection: common questions
Do you install marble protection film across the Gold Coast and Queensland?
Yes. DURAFLEX has accredited installers covering Gold Coast, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Every installer is trained in automotive paint protection film technique. Call 1300 656 656 or request an estimate online.
Will the film change how my marble looks?
No. DURAFLEX is optically clear and follows the polish of the stone, so the colour, veining and finish you chose stay exactly as they are. The difference only shows when something acidic is spilled and the stone underneath stays untouched.
Does DURAFLEX handle the Queensland climate?
Yes. DURAFLEX is independently CSIRO fire-tested and engineered to resist heat, humidity and UV without yellowing or lifting. It is well suited to subtropical Gold Coast and coastal Queensland homes.
Does DURAFLEX stop etching as well as staining?
Yes. A sealer slows staining but does nothing for etching. DURAFLEX is a physical barrier, so the acids that would etch polished marble contact the film instead of the stone. Both etching and staining are prevented.
Which Queensland suburbs do you cover?

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.
