Sandringham is a bayside family suburb where the kitchen tends to be relaxed, open and right at the centre of beach-house living. The marble that makes it feel special is also beautiful and fragile, and sandy, busy, salt-air weekends are not gentle on delicate stone. DURAFLEX lets the kitchen stay easygoing while the marble stays protected.

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!

Our benches look incredible, was hoping for protection maybe at the expense of aesthetics but it looks and feels supreme. The whole process was smooth and everyone was super professional.

DURAFLEX is an invisible, self-healing polyurethane film fitted over your existing marble and natural stone and heat-sealed at every edge by paint-protection-trained installers. Because it is a true physical barrier, acids and spills land on the film rather than the stone, so it stops both etching and staining. A penetrating sealer can slow staining but never stops the etching that dulls marble, which is the difference here.

Why Sandringham beach-house kitchens choose DURAFLEX
Sandringham sits around its village and yacht club close to the foreshore, and the homes have a casual, family-by-the-bay feel, with kitchens that flow to decks and gardens for long, informal weekends. Marble brings a touch of polish to that relaxed setting, but a benchtop that hosts after-beach lunches and a steady stream of kids and guests sees plenty of citrus, spills and knocks. The film keeps the surface immaculate without asking anyone to treat the kitchen preciously.
Stop playing the marble police on a Sunday by the bay, the self-healing film carries the spills so you can enjoy the day instead. We look after Sandringham and the wider bayside, including Brighton, Hampton, St Kilda, Albert Park and across to South Yarra and Malvern. Installation is a single visit of a few hours, with no curing period and the kitchen back in use the same day.
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 Sandringham job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Sandringham and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Sandringham 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 Sandringham estimate is no-obligation.
Sandringham marble protection: common questions
We have a relaxed beach-house kitchen. Will the film cope?
Yes, that casual, high-traffic use is exactly what it is for. Spills, citrus and sandy weekend chaos land on the film, and minor scratches self-heal.
Does proximity to the bay and salt air affect it?
No. The film is sealed flush over the stone and rated against yellowing, so bayside conditions and bright coastal light are no problem.
Is it suitable for the engineered stone some new builds use?
Yes. As well as marble it suits engineered stone, quartzite, granite, travertine, limestone and dolomite, matched to your surface.
How long until the kitchen is usable for the family?
The same day. It is a single visit of a few hours with no curing wait, so beach-house life carries on uninterrupted.
Do you cover Sandringham and the surrounding bayside?
Yes, including Sandringham, Brighton, Hampton, St Kilda, Albert Park, South Yarra and Malvern. Request an estimate online or call 1300 656 656.

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.
