DURAFLEX recommends a complete system for suitable marble benchtops in Brisbane: professionally installed Surface Protection Film over properly prepared and sealed stone. The sealer helps reduce absorption. DURAFLEX provides the physical barrier that separates everyday acidic spills from the marble surface it covers.
A penetrating sealer and protection film perform different jobs. The sealer treats the stone's absorption; the film becomes the surface you use. That distinction matters when your concern is the dull etching left by acidic food and drinks, rather than a coloured stain alone.
If your kitchen is being built or renovated, send the plans before the stone arrives. We can assess the proposed protection areas and prepare an estimate, with installation arrangements based on the finished surface and site readiness. For an existing kitchen, photographs help us identify any preparation or restoration to discuss.
Installation takes experience, skill and precision. The DURAFLEX team will explain the proposed finish, coverage and care, including using chopping boards and protecting the surface from hot cookware.

What are we protecting?
Brisbane kitchens are full of marble and natural stone, and every one of them should be sealed. A penetrating sealer soaks into the top few millimetres of the stone and slows how fast liquids are absorbed, which buys you time to wipe up a spill before it stains. For the full method, see our step-by-step guide to sealing a marble benchtop and the marble sealer reference guide.
DURAFLEX in action
Real installation: the DURAFLEX Black Rock project.
Here is the honest limit every Brisbane marble owner should know. Sealing slows staining, but it does not stop etching. Etching is not a stain, it is a dull mark where an acid reacts with the stone, and it happens in seconds whether the marble is sealed or not. That is why sealing alone leaves your benchtop exposed to the most common way marble gets damaged.
The complete answer is two layers, working in conjunction. Seal the stone to slow staining, then add DURAFLEX surface protection film, an optically clear, self-healing film that physically stops the etching and scratching a sealer cannot. It is CSIRO fire-tested to AS/NZS 1530.3, made from food-safe materials and backed by a warranty of up to 10 years. See marble sealing and DURAFLEX protection film for marble.
Our trained teams seal and protect marble across Brisbane, from New Farm, Ascot, Bulimba and Carindale to the wider Brisbane area. Don't worry, it's DURAFLEX.
Your DURAFLEX estimate is based on the total square metres to be protected, the stone's condition, preparation and installation details. Send clear photographs and the width and length of each area, or plans for a new kitchen, so we can prepare a tailored itemised estimate. The proposed scope will explain the preparation and professionally installed film for your project.
Follow the sealer manufacturer's instructions for your marble, finish and use. Resealing intervals depend on the product, preparation, wear and cleaning routine. Ask a stone professional to assess the surface if you are unsure; do not assume every benchtop needs the same schedule. For areas covered by DURAFLEX film, follow the supplied film-care instructions.
No. Sealing slows staining but cannot stop acid etching, the dull marks wine and lemon leave.
Yes, across Brisbane and greater Queensland, by certified, automotive-trained teams. Request an estimate on this page and the DURAFLEX team will be in touch, usually the same day.
