Between a demanding work week and a kitchen that doubles as the entertaining hub, North Sydney benchtops earn their keep. Marble is beautiful and fragile, and one acidic spill, a squeezed lime, a splash of prosecco, can etch a dull mark that sits there permanently. DURAFLEX keeps your stone looking the way it did on install day.

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.

Chris and team were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They handled plumber coordination, wrapped up installation in 4, 5 hours, and navigated our mix of stone and marble surfaces without missing a beat. Highly recommend.

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!

DURAFLEX is a clear, self-healing polyurethane surface protection film fitted over marble and natural stone by specialists trained in automotive paint protection film. Sealed at every edge with heat, it is invisible to the eye and acts as a physical barrier that stops both etching and staining.
DURAFLEX in action
Real installation: the DURAFLEX Glen Iris project.
Apartment living, fine stone, no anxiety
North Sydney leans heavily toward high-rise and harbour-view apartments, where kitchens are compact, open-plan and finished to a premium spec, often a striking marble island that is the first thing you see walking in. In a smaller footprint that benchtop does double duty as prep space, bar and dining table, which means more contact with exactly the spills marble hates most.
We protect that centrepiece without altering its colour, gloss or feel, so it stays the focal point rather than a source of stress. Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX, and the work is clean enough for an occupied apartment, finished in a single visit of a few hours with no mess and no downtime afterward.
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 North Sydney job is completed to the same standard.
Serving North Sydney and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services North Sydney 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 North Sydney estimate is no-obligation.
North Sydney marble protection: common questions
Will installation disrupt my North Sydney apartment?
Barely. It is a tidy, single-visit job lasting a few hours, with no curing period and nothing left behind. There are no strong fumes, so it works well in occupied apartments and buildings.
Does the film change how my marble looks?
No. DURAFLEX is optically clear and matches your existing finish, polished or honed. The colour, depth and feel of the stone come through exactly as before, just protected.
What does the warranty actually cover?
The up-to-10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting and yellowing of the film. DURAFLEX is also independently CSIRO fire-tested, and once installed it needs no special maintenance at all.
Why not just use a sealer?
A penetrating sealer slows staining but cannot stop acid etching, the haze left by citrus and wine. DURAFLEX is a surface barrier, so spills and acids meet the film and never reach the stone.
Do you cover other North Shore suburbs?
Yes. North Sydney sits among regular installs in adjoining areas such as Crows Nest, Neutral Bay and Mosman. Confirm your address when you request an estimate.

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.
