Protecting Stanley on Howard Smith Wharves

A Commitment to Luxury, Durability, and Sustainability

At the heart of Brisbane’s culinary scene lies Stanley on Howard Smith Wharves, a high-traffic dining destination offering an unparalleled combination of fine cuisine, stunning river views, and a vibrant atmosphere. As a busy venue hosting countless guests daily, maintaining the luxury and pristine appearance of its soft furnishings is paramount. That’s where Premium Surface Protection (PSP) comes in. Engaged by Samantha Leigh Interiors for the recent refurbishment of Stanley, the PSP team was entrusted with safeguarding the newly upgraded furnishings—ranging from leather and fabric booth seating to dining chairs, cushions, rugs, and lounge seating. Our goal was simple: provide long-lasting, eco-friendly protection that aligns with the restaurant’s premium brand and ensures a welcoming experience for guests.

Samantha Leigh Interiors, a design firm known for its impeccable taste and attention to detail, was tasked with revamping the interiors of Stanley on Howard Smith Wharves. When choosing a surface protection partner, Samantha Leigh Interiors needed a solution that could stand up to the demands of a bustling hospitality environment while preserving the aesthetics of the luxury furnishings. Given PSP’s reputation for high-quality, non-toxic protection products and dedication to sustainability, we were the obvious choice.

PSP’s extensive experience in protecting high-traffic commercial spaces made us the ideal partner for this project. Our products are renowned not only for their superior protective qualities but also for contributing to sustainable practices through their durable and eco-friendly formulations. PSP’s commitment to providing the best protection available ensures that each piece of furniture maintains its quality and appearance, even amidst the daily rigours of a popular dining venue.

High Traffic, High Stakes: The Demands of Stanley on Howard Smith Wharves

As a prime dining location on the bustling Howard Smith Wharves, Stanley is a high-traffic venue that faces heavy use every day. The constant flow of diners—enjoying everything from fine meals to casual drinks plus being a waterside venue—puts significant stress on the restaurant’s furnishings. With food spills, drink splashes, humidity, and general wear and tear being inevitable, the protection of the venue’s interiors is crucial to upholding the restaurant’s reputation for luxury and elegance.

The solution required more than just any surface protection; it called for advanced technology capable of providing enduring resilience against spills, stains, and wear. By choosing PSP, Stanley Restaurant ensured its furnishings would remain immaculate and functional for years to come. Our products offer exceptional durability, keeping high-end materials like leather and upholstery safe from stains, moisture, and environmental damage without compromising on aesthetics.

Technical Excellence: How PSP Products Work

Premium Surface Protection Service Technicians leverage advanced technology and expertise in material science to provide high-performance textile and surface protection.

Our DecorGard brand features proprietary formulas tailored for various textiles and surfaces, carefully selected and applied based on the specific requirements of each job.

Our advanced formulas penetrate deep into textile fibers and leather pores, creating an invisible, breathable barrier that repels liquids and resists stains. Spills—whether red wine or coffee—bead on the surface, making cleanup as easy as blotting, with no lingering marks. Beyond stain prevention, the barrier also provides UV protection, helping to minimize fading in bright, sunlit spaces.

Moreover, the breathable barrier inhibits the growth of mould and mildew, ensuring a hygienic and fresh environment for diners.

Sustainable, Non-Toxic, and Anti-Allergen Solutions

With an increasing focus on health and sustainability in commercial spaces, Stanley on Howard Smith Wharves was committed to using products that aligned with environmentally responsible practices. PSP’s protection solutions are not only highly effective but also adhere to stringent safety standards:

• Non-Toxic Formulation: Unlike some traditional protective treatments that contain harsh chemicals, our products are completely non-toxic. Free from harmful substances such as PFAS, APEOs, and other chemicals of concern, PSP’s surface protection offers peace of mind for guests who value a safe and healthy dining experience.
• Anti-Allergen Benefits: Our treatments do more than just protect against stains; they actively reduce allergens in the environment. By creating a barrier that repels dust and dirt, PSP products help minimise allergens such as dust mites and pet dander, which are often present in busy venues. This contributes to a healthier environment for both guests and staff.

Supporting Sustainability and the Circular Economy

PSP’s involvement in the Stanley on Howard Smith Wharves project reflects our commitment to sustainability and circular economy principles. Rather than allowing high-end furnishings to wear out prematurely, our protective solutions ensure that these valuable assets maintain their integrity for longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This approach not only saves resources but also helps to minimise waste by extending the life of existing furniture.

Our products also contribute to sustainability in other ways:

Reduced Cleaning Frequency: With PSP protection, spills and stains can be quickly and easily cleaned, requiring fewer chemicals, less water, and minimal effort. This leads to significant cost savings and a lower environmental footprint. In fact, establishments using PSP’s solutions can save up to 88% on cleaning costs, thanks to reduced maintenance needs and longer cleaning cycles.
