Capral Aluminium in Action: Showcasing Sustainability at Marsden Brewhouse

Completed in 2019, the Marsden Brewhouse in Marsden Park, New South Wales, is one of Australia’s most dynamic entertainment venues. Designed to create a welcoming atmosphere, this contemporary project emphasises sustainable design principles while achieving high standards of durability and aesthetics. By integrating Capral Aluminium's locally sourced materials, the Marsden Brewhouse demonstrates how thoughtful architectural choices can align with environmental goals in hospitality design.

Capral was selected for its unique blend of extensive product offerings, stringent quality control, and local manufacturing capabilities, supporting the project's commitment to sustainability and design excellence. Capral’s materials underscore a dedication to environmental responsibility, helping the brewhouse meet high standards essential in modern hospitality venues.

Central to the brewhouse’s design are Capral's AGS 900 Series Sliding Doors, chosen for their impressive durability, smooth operation, and sleek profile. These doors contribute to an open, light-filled ambiance, crucial in creating a welcoming space for high-traffic hospitality environments. Their design enhances accessibility, inviting patrons to enjoy a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The brewhouse also incorporates Capral’s AGS 400 Narrowline Framing Systems. This framing solution provides a slim, modern appearance while promoting energy efficiency—a key consideration for architects focusing on sustainability. The AGS 400 framing meets Australian standards, reinforcing structural integrity and enhancing the building’s aesthetic appeal.

Capral’s in-house product testing further contributes to the Marsden Brewhouse’s success, ensuring that all materials meet strict performance and safety criteria before market release. This rigorous testing builds confidence in the durability of Capral's products, supporting the brewhouse’s long-term energy performance and structural resilience.

Additionally, Capral’s local manufacturing provides significant benefits, including faster lead times, greater control over supply chains, and reduced transport emissions. These efficiencies help keep projects on schedule and support sustainability objectives by minimising environmental impact, making Capral a key partner in delivering a project that prioritises both design and ecological responsibility.

Since the project’s completion, Capral has also achieved ASI certification, further cementing its role in providing low-embodied carbon aluminium. This certification supports environmentally responsible sourcing and underscores Capral’s ongoing commitment to sustainable architecture across Australia.

In conclusion, Capral Aluminium’s role in the Marsden Brewhouse project underscores the value of sustainable materials in contemporary architecture. Through its extensive product range, in-house testing, and commitment to local manufacturing, Capral delivered solutions that align with the brewhouse's sustainability goals and performance demands. The AGS 900 Series sliding doors and AGS 400 Narrowline framing systems enhance the venue’s inviting aesthetic while providing enduring structural and environmental benefits, positioning Capral as a trusted partner for architects committed to impactful, resilient, and eco-conscious designs.
