A Portsea home is built for relaxed coastal living, and its kitchen usually features a generous marble or stone benchtop ready for long summers of entertaining. Marble is beautiful and fragile, and one acidic spill during a back-beach lunch can etch it permanently, which is exactly what DURAFLEX prevents.

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!

Why Portsea's coastal homes protect their stone
Portsea sits at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula, a prestige coastal address of established holiday estates and relaxed weekenders set among the dunes near the back beach. These homes are made for summer entertaining, with long lunches, oysters, citrus and chilled wine flowing across the kitchen island for weeks at a time, all of it acidic and all of it a risk to bare marble. A holiday house should be a place to unwind, not to guard the benchtop.
DURAFLEX means a Portsea kitchen can be left to do its job through a busy season, because every squeeze of lemon and spilled glass lands on the film, not the stone. Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX, protection that works whether the house is full of guests or closed up between visits. We serve homes across the Peninsula and the wider Victorian coast.
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 Portsea job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Portsea and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Portsea and the wider Melbourne 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 Portsea estimate is no-obligation.
Portsea marble protection: common questions
Is DURAFLEX suited to a holiday home that sits empty between visits?
Yes. The film needs zero maintenance and keeps protecting the stone whether the house is occupied or closed up. You return to the benchtop exactly as you left it.
Summer entertaining means lots of citrus and wine, will the marble etch?
Not with DURAFLEX in place. Oysters, lemon, lime and wine are all acidic, but they contact the film rather than the marble, so nothing etches or stains. You can entertain all season freely.
Does the coastal environment affect the film?
No. DURAFLEX is a stable polyurethane film unaffected by salt air and sun exposure common on the Peninsula. It protects the stone reliably year-round.
How quickly can it be installed before summer?
Quickly. Installation is a single visit of a few hours with no curing period, so the kitchen is ready for guests the same day.

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.
