St Kilda has one of the highest concentrations of apartment renovations in Melbourne, and marble benchtops have become the default for mid-to-high-end fitouts. The challenge in a busy apartment kitchen is the same as in a house, acids etch, oils stain, and sealing delays rather than prevents damage. DURAFLEX installs polyurethane surface protection film for St Kilda properties, removing the maintenance obligation from natural stone entirely.

An apartment kitchen in St Kilda gets used intensively. Breakfast acids, wine spills, cooking oils, these contact the benchtop every day. On unprotected marble, the damage accumulates. DURAFLEX SPF Ultra prevents it from reaching the stone at all. The polyurethane film absorbs the chemistry of daily kitchen use. The marble beneath stays in original condition.
The film is optically clear and undetectable at normal viewing distances. It absorbs approximately five percent of visible light. The finish of the stone, whether polished, honed, or satin, is unchanged. What changes is that the surface no longer etches, stains, or requires specialist cleaning products.
