Mr Lunn said Capral has spent decades developing and refining locally designed window and door systems specifically for Australian residential and commercial applications.
“Capral has been manufacturing aluminium extrusions in Australia for 90 years and developing window systems right here since the 1940s. Our systems have been developed specifically around Australian Standards, Australian conditions and the expectations of the local building industry,” he said.
Through its AGS Commercial, Artisan and Urban residential systems, Capral offers one of the country’s most comprehensively tested aluminium window and door system portfolios, supported by national technical and specification teams.
Systems are tested for structural performance, water penetration, air infiltration, acoustic performance, energy efficiency and bushfire compliance to support compliance with the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards. Capral also offers lower-carbon aluminium as standard across its window systems range and is Australia’s only Aluminium Stewardship Initiative certified extruder, providing transparency and confidence around responsible supply chain practices. Supporting this further, Capral’s systems are backed by Declare labels to assist architects, designers and specifiers seeking greater material transparency and sustainability documentation.
Mr Lunn said the discussion also highlighted the broader value of local manufacturing and established Australian supply chains.
“When you work with a long-standing Australian supplier, you are not simply buying an aluminium window or door,” he said.
“You are buying decades of local technical knowledge, tested systems, engineering support, fabrication support and accountability.”
Capral currently operates six aluminium extrusion manufacturing facilities and more than twenty five distribution locations nationally, supporting an extensive network of Australian fabricators, distributors and project partners.
The company says maintaining strong local manufacturing capability remains critical for quality assurance, compliance confidence and long-term industry sustainability.
“Local manufacturing gives Architects, builders, fabricators and homeowners confidence,” Mr Lunn said.
“They know the systems have been designed for Australian conditions, tested to Australian requirements and backed by a company that has been supporting the building industry for generations.”
