Stone Protection
Stone Protection That Actually Stops the Damage
DURAFLEX Surface Protection Film is the originator of the category, protecting stone benchtops. Sealing slows how fast liquids soak in, but only DURAFLEX film stops the etching, scratching and heat that mark marble and natural stone. It is optically clear, self-healing, and installed by trained teams across five states. Surface guides: stone benchtop protection film, Caesarstone benchtop protection, and the alternatives to TuffSkin in Australia.

What are we protecting?
Natural stone protection, surface by surface
Natural stone is beautiful and fragile. Every stone reacts differently, and DURAFLEX protects them all with one invisible layer:
- Marble etches the moment an acid touches it. Film stops the dull marks a sealer cannot.
- Limestone and travertine are soft and porous. Film guards against staining and wear.
- Granite and quartzite are hard but still stain and dull over time.
- Engineered stone such as Caesarstone keeps its finish under heat and daily use, protected by our DURAFLEX NEO film.

Real installation: the DURAFLEX Black Rock project.
Why sealing alone is not enough
A sealer is worth having, it slows how fast a spill soaks in. But sealer wears off, needs redoing, and cannot stop acid etching, scratches or heat. DURAFLEX film sits over the stone and takes that wear instead. Complete stone protection is a sealer plus stone protection film.
What stone protection costs
Genuine stone protection film is a one-time cost rather than a sealer you redo every year. See the full stone and marble protection film cost guide, or use the estimate tool below for an itemised figure. There is nothing to pay to find out.
Can you buy stone protection film at a hardware store?
No. Professional-grade film like DURAFLEX is fitted by trained installers, not sold as an off-the-shelf kit. A hardware-store kit cannot give you the seamless fit, the near-invisible clarity, the CSIRO fire rating or the up-to-10-year warranty that a certified DURAFLEX install does.

Frequently asked questions
What is stone protection?
Stone protection keeps marble and natural stone benchtops from etching, staining, scratching and heat damage. The complete approach is a penetrating sealer, which slows stains, plus DURAFLEX surface protection film, which physically stops the etching and scratching a sealer cannot.
Does sealing protect marble from etching?
No. A sealer slows how fast liquids soak in, but it cannot stop etching, the dull marks acids leave on marble. Only a physical film like DURAFLEX stops etching.
Can I buy stone protection film at Bunnings?
Professional stone protection film like DURAFLEX is installed by certified, trained teams, not sold off the shelf. A hardware-store kit will not match the fit, clarity, fire rating or warranty of a professional install.
How much does stone protection cost?
It is priced per job by surface size and layout, as a one-time cost. Request an itemised estimate through the tool on this page, usually returned the same day.
What surfaces can DURAFLEX protect?
Marble, limestone, travertine, granite, quartzite and engineered stone such as Caesarstone, across kitchen benchtops, islands, splashbacks and bathroom vanities.
