A marble island is the centrepiece of most Unley kitchen renovations, and it is also the most nerve-racking surface in the house. A splash of lemon, a glass of wine, a wedge of soft cheese, and the polish is already dulling. DURAFLEX puts an invisible barrier between your stone and everyday life so the bench looks the way it did the day it was installed.

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 self-healing polyurethane surface protection film fitted over marble and natural stone. It physically stops both etching and staining, because spills land on the film and never touch the stone underneath. Specialists trained in automotive paint protection technique heat-seal it at every edge, and it carries an up-to-10-year warranty.

Why Unley kitchens choose DURAFLEX
Unley and its pocket of tree-lined streets are full of bluestone villas and Victorian cottages that have been opened up at the back into bright, marble-heavy kitchens. Owners here tend to renovate for the long haul rather than to flip, which is exactly why a permanent protective film makes sense, the bench you chose carefully should still impress in ten years. We look after the same homes across Unley Park and out toward Burnside and Walkerville.
Plenty of our local clients arrived after months of treating their slab like glass, coasters everywhere, a tea towel under every cutting board. Marble Anxiety, it’s real, and it steals the joy out of a kitchen that was meant for long lunches and full benches. DURAFLEX hands that ease back, so you can entertain on Calacatta without watching every guest’s glass.
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 Unley job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Unley and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Unley and the wider Adelaide 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 Unley estimate is no-obligation.
Unley marble protection: common questions
Will DURAFLEX change the look of my Unley marble?
No. The film is optically clear and follows the stone exactly, so the veining and colour you chose stay on full display. Most visitors never notice it is there until you tell them.
Does it actually stop etching, or just staining?
It stops both. A penetrating sealer can slow a stain but cannot prevent acid etching, whereas DURAFLEX is a physical barrier, so lemon, wine and vinegar contact the film and never the marble.
How long will my kitchen be out of action?
Usually only a few hours. Installation is a single visit with no curing period, so an Unley kitchen fitted in the morning is back in normal use that same day.
Do you cover the wider eastern suburbs?
Yes. We regularly install across Unley, Norwood, Burnside, Walkerville and up into Stirling, and we serve homes throughout the Adelaide area.
What does the warranty cover?
The up-to-10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting and yellowing of the film. DURAFLEX has also been independently fire-tested by the CSIRO.

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.
