What is engineered stone Benchtop protection film?
Benchtop protection film is a temporary adhesive film that covers your marble surfaces to protect them from damage during construction, renovation, or everyday use. It’s made of durable materials that resist scratches, stains, and other forms of damage.
Features of engineered stone Benchtop protection film:
The antibacterial protective film is a type of tabletop protector that will combine with high-end nano antibacterial technology. It comes in a Satin or High Gloss finish. By applying this product on your tabletop, you will get 100% etch and stain protection. This is something that no liquid sealer can give anywhere else in the world.
Along with the above points, you will get many beneficial features of your countertop as well as your kitchen.
- Chemical and odor-free- These films are designed to provide a clear, durable barrier against spills, stains, and scratches without releasing harmful chemicals or unpleasant smells. This will also make them ideal for use in homes, restaurants, and food service environments.
- Prevents staining- The film’s waterproof and stain-resistant properties prevent liquids from directly contacting the surface and make it easier to wipe away spills before they cause permanent damage.
- Heat resistance up to 220 degrees Celsius-The tabletop protection films have high thermal stability and low thermal expansion which will allow them to resist warping, cracking, or damage when exposed to hot cookware or direct heat sources.
- Prevents etching- The engineered stone counter prevents etching primarily due to its hardness and non-porous surface, which resist acids and other corrosive substances that can cause etching. Proper sealing and regular maintenance further enhance the stone’s resistance, ensuring the surface remains intact and visually appealing over time.
- Removable and replaceable- This feature allows for cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions, enabling users to replace damaged or worn sections swiftly while preserving the integrity of the underlying structure.
The main advantages of Engineered stone Benchtop protection film
- Transparency and invisibility- The protective polyurethane film is absolutely transparent and almost invisible on the surface of the stone. It does not distort the texture and colour of the material, preserving its natural appearance.
- High strength- The film is resistant to mechanical damage, including scratches, impacts and abrasion. This makes it an excellent choice for surfaces subject to intensive use.
- Resistance to temperature changes- The material retains its properties at low and high temperatures. Sunlight, frost or high humidity does not have a negative effect on it.
- Hydrophobic effect- The surface of the film repels water and dirt, preventing stains and simplifying the care of the stone.
- Self-healing properties- These types of films are able to independently restore minor damage, such as scratches, under the influence of heat.
- Durability- The service life of the protection film is at least 5 years, which makes it an economically advantageous solution.

- Use a soft, damp cloth with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
- Quickly clean up liquid spills and avoid leaving wet items on the countertop for extended periods.
- Use coasters, placemats, and cutting boards to protect your countertop from moisture. Also, try not to expose it to direct heat from hot pots and pans, or to sharp objects that could scratch the surface.
