Your Surfers Paradise kitchen sees a lot of life, late dinners after a day at the beach, weekend hosting, a glass of wine that never quite makes it to a coaster. Marble is beautiful and fragile, and a single splash of citrus or bubbly can leave a dull etch mark that no amount of polishing brings back. DURAFLEX puts an invisible barrier between your stone and everything you throw at it.

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 a clear, self-healing polyurethane film applied directly over marble and natural stone. It physically stops both etching and staining, because acids and spills land on the film rather than the stone. Installers trained in automotive paint protection technique heat-seal every edge in a single visit, and your bench is back in use the same day.

Why Surfers Paradise apartments choose DURAFLEX
High-rise living on the Esplanade and along the river comes with marble islands and waterfall ends that were chosen to impress, and they do. The catch is that entertaining at that altitude is non-stop, and a busy benchtop is the first thing to show acid etching from lemon, vinegar or sparkling wine. A penetrating sealer might slow a stain, but it does nothing against etching; DURAFLEX is an actual physical layer, so the surface you bought stays the surface you keep.
We look after owners across Surfers Paradise and the neighbouring strips of Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Hope Island and Palm Beach, so your installer knows the buildings and the access. Marble Anxiety, it’s real, especially when your kitchen is on display every time guests walk in. Once the film is on you can pour, chop and entertain without hovering over the stone.
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 Surfers Paradise job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Surfers Paradise and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Surfers Paradise and the wider Gold Coast 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 Surfers Paradise estimate is no-obligation.
Surfers Paradise marble protection: common questions
Can DURAFLEX be installed in a Surfers Paradise high-rise apartment?
Yes. The whole job is done on-site in a few hours with no curing time, no mess and no fumes that would trouble neighbours or building management. There is no downtime, so your kitchen is ready to use the same afternoon.
Will the film change how my marble island looks?
No. DURAFLEX is optically clear and sits invisibly over the stone, so the colour, veining and finish you chose stay exactly as they are. It simply adds a protective layer you cannot see.
My bench already has a few etch marks from wine and lemon. Can you still help?
We can protect the stone from any further etching and staining going forward, which is what stops the problem getting worse. For existing marks we can talk through your options when we assess the surface.
Does DURAFLEX really stop etching, or just slow it down?
It stops it. Acids and spills contact the film instead of the calcium carbonate in the marble, so the reaction that causes etching never reaches the stone. That is the difference between a barrier and a sealer.
What does the warranty cover?
DURAFLEX comes with an up-to-10-year warranty covering bubbling, lifting and yellowing, and the film has been independently CSIRO fire-tested. To get started you can build your 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.
