Vaucluse is one of Sydney’s most distinctive waterfront suburbs, with homes that consistently feature premium imported stone as the benchmark for kitchen fitouts. DURAFLEX installs polyurethane surface protection film for Vaucluse properties, giving marble and engineered stone benchtops permanent protection against the etching and staining that accumulates through daily kitchen use.

The etching problem in premium kitchens

A kitchen designed and built to the standard typical in Vaucluse represents years of planning and significant investment. The marble selected for those benchtops was chosen to last. Without protection, it will etch within the first year. Breakfast acids, citrus, wine, all of these react with the calcium carbonate at the polished surface before any penetration occurs. DURAFLEX prevents that reaction by placing a polyurethane layer between the acid and the stone.

Invisible protection, unchanged appearance

DURAFLEX SPF Ultra is optically clear. The veining, the finish, and the character of the stone remain entirely unchanged. The film absorbs approximately five percent of visible light and is undetectable at normal viewing distances. What changes is the chemistry of what can reach the marble surface. With DURAFLEX installed, nothing does.

Installation process

DURAFLEX installers come from the automotive paint protection film industry. Installation is completed in a single visit. After the film is applied across the entire stone surface, it is heat sealed, permanently bonding the adhesive and closing every edge against moisture ingress or lifting. The 10-year warranty begins immediately on installation.
