Newtown kitchens have personality, and so do the people cooking in them. When you have spent good money on a marble island that anchors a renovated terrace, the last thing you want is a cloudy etch mark from a squeezed lemon. DURAFLEX is the invisible layer that keeps that stone looking the way it did on day one.

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!

Newtown renovations that hold their finish
Around Newtown the housing is a patchwork of worker’s cottages and terraces, and renovators here have a real eye, often pairing reclaimed timber and brick with a single bold slab of marble or marble-look stone. That contrast is the whole point of the kitchen, which makes a dull etch ring across the polish all the more frustrating. Because DURAFLEX takes the acid contact for the stone, the finish you chose stays sharp through years of weeknight cooking and King Street takeaway nights.
Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX, and it goes in without the disruption a renovation-weary household dreads. One visit of a few hours, no curing period, no downtime, and the kitchen is back in use the same day with zero maintenance afterwards. We cover Newtown and the wider inner west across New South Wales, so help is genuinely local.
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 Newtown job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Newtown and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Newtown and the wider Sydney 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 Newtown estimate is no-obligation.
Newtown marble protection: common questions
Is the film noticeable on a marble-look engineered top?
No. DURAFLEX is clear and conforms to the surface, so a marble-look quartz or porcelain reads exactly as before. It works across engineered stone as well as natural marble.
We cook most nights. Will the film cope with daily use?
Easily. Daily prep, hot pans set on trivets and acidic ingredients all meet the film instead of the stone. Light surface marks self-heal with warmth, so the bench keeps looking even.
Our terrace kitchen is small and awkward. Can you still fit it?
Yes. We template and apply the film in place, which suits the tight galley layouts common in Newtown. There is no need to remove or replace the benchtop.
How is this better than the sealer the stone supplier applied?
A sealer slows liquids soaking in but cannot prevent acid etching, which is the most common marble complaint. DURAFLEX is a barrier film, so both staining and etching are stopped at the surface.
Which nearby areas do you service?
We protect benchtops throughout the inner west and across Sydney suburbs in New South Wales. To get started, call 1300 656 656 or request an estimate online.

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.
