Teneriffe’s converted woolstores and riverside apartments are known for their dramatic kitchens, where a slab of marble plays off exposed brick and timber. It is a beautiful and fragile combination, and that statement island is also the surface most likely to pick up etch marks from everyday spills. DURAFLEX protects it with a film you cannot see.

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!

DURAFLEX is a clear, self-healing polyurethane film bonded over marble and natural stone by specialists trained in automotive paint protection. Because spills meet the film and not the stone, it stops etching and staining alike. Every edge is heat-sealed, the fit takes a single visit with no downtime, and there is no upkeep afterwards.
DURAFLEX in action
Real installation: the DURAFLEX Glen Waverley project.
Protecting Teneriffe's warehouse kitchens
Teneriffe was Brisbane’s wool-shipping precinct, and the heritage woolstore conversions along Vernon Terrace and Macquarie Street have become some of the most sought-after apartments on the river. These homes are design-forward, often with bold marble islands set into industrial spaces, and owners are precise about how everything looks. A sealer that only slows staining undercuts that, because it leaves the marble open to acid etching from wine and citrus.
We look after stone right along the riverbend, from Teneriffe through New Farm and Hamilton to Ascot, and across to South Brisbane and West End. Marble Anxiety, it’s real, particularly when your kitchen is the focal point of a striking warehouse apartment. DURAFLEX lets the design speak while the film quietly keeps it intact.
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 Teneriffe job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Teneriffe and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Teneriffe and the wider Brisbane 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 Teneriffe estimate is no-obligation.
Teneriffe marble protection: common questions
I live in a Teneriffe woolstore apartment. Can you fit the film with limited access?
Yes. The single-visit install is tidy and self-contained, with no mess or curing period, which suits apartment living and building access rules. We work around your space and leave it ready to use.
Will the film dull a polished marble island?
No. DURAFLEX is optically clear and conforms to the stone, so a polished or honed finish keeps its character. The contrast against brick and timber stays exactly as designed.
Why not just reseal the marble periodically?
Resealing slows staining but never stops etching, so acidic spills still mark the stone between applications. DURAFLEX is a permanent barrier, so there is no reapplying and no etching to begin with.
Is the film safe around food preparation?
Yes. It is a clean, non-porous surface that wipes down easily, and it has been independently CSIRO fire-tested. Spills sit on the film and lift away without soaking into the stone.

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.
