Paddington’s terrace homes have been renovated extensively over the past two decades, and the current benchmark for a Paddington kitchen fitout typically includes imported marble or premium engineered stone. DURAFLEX installs polyurethane surface protection film for Paddington properties, keeping that stone performing the way it looked on installation day.

Terrace kitchens and the etching problem

A renovated terrace kitchen in Paddington is often the centrepiece of a significant project. The marble benchtop was selected carefully, installed correctly, and sealed on completion. Within a year, the etching starts. Lemon, wine, coffee, cleaning products, all of these react with the calcium carbonate at the polished surface regardless of what sealer was applied. DURAFLEX prevents the reaction from occurring by placing a physical barrier between the acid and the stone.

DURAFLEX for Paddington stone

The film is optically clear and self-healing against minor contact marks. It absorbs approximately five percent of visible light and is undetectable at normal viewing distances. The stone’s finish is unchanged. What changes is that the surface no longer accumulates damage through normal use. The 10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting, and yellowing.

Single-visit installation

DURAFLEX installers come from the automotive paint protection film industry. Installation is heat sealed on completion. The kitchen is in normal use the same day. No curing period, no return visit, no chemical odour during installation.
