Make a more informed choice

Practical reading before you choose a finish, measure your benchtop or plan an installation.

Guides

Protection film vs stone sealer

Choose a system by the problem you want to address. A surface film and a penetrating sealer are not interchangeable treatments.

Guides

How to measure your benchtop

You do not need a technical drawing. Clear photos and a simple labelled sketch are usually the best starting point for a remote quotation.

Guides

The installation process

A considered installation starts before the film reaches the benchtop. Here is what to discuss at each stage.

Guides

Caring for protected stone

Once film is installed, care for the film and the stone as a system. Keep the product-specific instructions close to hand.

Guides

Gloss, satin or matte?

Finish selection is about more than a label. Consider the stone, the light and how the surface will sit beside cabinetry, splashbacks and uncovered stone.

Guides

Edges, seams & cut-outs

A protection plan should explain how the film meets the shape of your benchtop, especially at the edges you see and touch every day.

Guides

Protection over existing damage

Stains, burns, scratches and finish differences need a clear diagnosis before a protection system is selected.

Guides

Supply only or installed?

Buying film and arranging installation are different scopes. Be clear about the outcome you need before ordering material.

Guides

A better trade order

A complete trade enquiry makes it easier to confirm the right material, quantities and delivery requirements without repeated clarification.
