Knowledge Base

Everything you need to know about Stone Film Syd.

Will it change the look or feel of my stone?
No. Our films and sealers are optically clear and will not alter the colour, texture, or finish of your stone in any way.
How long does protection last?
Our protective film and sealers are engineered to last 10-15 years. All applications come with a written 10-year warranty.
What does the process involve?
We begin with a consultation, then prepare and clean the surface before precision application. Most residential projects are completed within a single day.
What is the investment?
Pricing is tailored to the scope of each project. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after the initial consultation, no obligation.
Can I still use regular cleaning products?
Yes! While natural stone requires specialized pH-neutral cleaners, our protective film allows you to use most standard non-abrasive household cleaners without worrying about chemical etching.
Is the film heat resistant?
Our films are highly heat resistant, however, we always recommend using a trivet for boiling hot pots straight off the stove, just as you would with unprotected stone or quartz.
What exactly is anti-etch marble protection film?
Unlike traditional liquid sealers that only fill the pores of the stone, anti-etch marble protection film is a physical, optically clear barrier applied directly over your benchtops. It completely prevents acids (like lemon juice or wine) from touching the stone, guaranteeing 100% protection against etching and staining while remaining practically invisible.
How does Stone Film compare to other laminates or traditional films?
While basic stone laminates and traditional films offer protection, our aliphatic polyurethane film represents the next generation of stone protection. Stone Film Sydney offers superior optical clarity with zero "orange peel" texture, advanced heat-activated self-healing properties, and a tailored aesthetic match (Gloss or Satin) that looks and feels like raw stone.
Can stone protection film be applied to existing etched marble?
Absolutely. If your marble is already etched, scratched, or stained, we highly recommend having it professionally restored and re-honed or polished first. Once the natural beauty is restored, we apply the stone protection film to lock in that flawless finish permanently, ensuring it never gets etched again.
