A COMMITMENT TOWORK WELL DONE

PVC WINDOWS

WE ARE A CORPORATE GROUP WITH MORE THAN 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Founded in 1975 under the name PLASTISAN, our initial activity was the distribution of building materials.

In 1985 we changed our name to DEYPLASA and, in addition to our original activity, became the first Santander-based company to manufacture PVC windows.

A few years later we decided to take full advantage of our distribution network and joined forces with the company Plásticos CAE to also begin manufacturing aluminium windows (1991).

Once both companies had merged and after having expanded the radius of our activity –not only to the adjoining regions here in Spain, but also to France– we decided to add the manufacture of double-glazed units (also known as UVAs) to the Group’s product range.

In 2001 this led to the creation of NORGLASS, which manufactures every time of glass product.

USEFUL INFORMATIONABOUT PVC WINDOWS

PVC is the best –as well as the most suitable- material for windows and its importance is continuously growing throughout the world. It is not only used in construction, but also in everyday products, such as clothes, bottles and medical applications.

BEAR IN MIND THAT:Windows play an extremely important role: they let light into our homes, brighten up our lives and impart a positive feeling of “being at home”.

An incomparable material such as PVC offers an entire range of outstanding properties with respect to windows unsurpassed by any other raw material.

Apart from this, the acquisition cost of PVC windows is far lower than that of the other comparable and traditional window building materials, namely wood and aluminium.There are a great many aspects to be taken into consideration when it comes to choosing new windows.

For this reason we would like to provide you with some useful information about PVC windows that will help you take a decision:

METALLIC PARTSESSENTIAL INFORMATION

The metallic parts perform a wide range of functions. They connect the window leaf to the frame, thereby enabling it to move. This is why we would like to provide you with some interesting information about the metallic parts of our PVC windows that will help you to make a better choice.

The metallic parts are vital components of the window, above all with respect to its movements and security. The metallic parts for the most common turn and tilt systems in Europe offer maximum reliability, security and comfort for your home. The finest metallic parts are also available for double and sliding windows.

LEAF RAISERThe turn and tilt metallic parts raise the leaf to the correct position with minimum effort and guarantee a long working life.

MULTI-BOLT LOCKSThe multi-bolt locking system provides greater security. The system guarantees basic security.

HANDLE WITH LOCKWhenever security is a priority, the first choice is a handle with a built-in lock.This locking mechanism increases the security of the window or door.

HANDLEThe essential element is the handle that moves the metallic parts. A single turn of the handle can open, close, tip or fold a window or door.

BEAR IN MANDTHAT:The solar factor shall have to be as low as possible, whereas visible transmittance shall have to be as high as possible.

We shall be delighted to be able to help you take the best decision.

TINTED GLASSThe addition of colorants to the base glass mixture colours the finished product and reduces its light transmission properties. The colour extends throughout the entire thickness of the glass.

TEMPERED GLASSThis is a type of safety and/or security glass that has been subjected to a controlled heat or chemical treatment to increase its strength in comparison with normal glass. Tempered glass is approximately 4 to 5 times stronger than thermo-hardened glass of the same thickness when subjected to uniform static compression loads.

LAMINATED GLASSTwo or more sheets of glass that are permanently bound together sandwiching one or two sheets of intercalary material.It provides good soundproofing and high security against break-ins.

DOUBLE GLAZINGTwo, or even three, panes of glass separated by a chamber of air or another gas such as argon to reduce thermal transfer and/or sound transmission through a part of the outer skin of the building. In insulated glazing elements the chamber between the panes of glass is scrupulously dehumidified and the edges are sealed to eliminate any possible condensation and endow them with greater insulation properties.

VISIBLE TRANSMITTANCEThis expresses the amount of visible light transmitted.The greater the visible transmittance, the higher the amount of light transmitted.

SOLAR FACTORThe amount of directly transmitted and absorbed solar energy that penetrates the interior of the building (in comparison with an open space). This factor should be as low as possible.

GLAZING THE VISIBLE PART OF A WINDOW

The importance of the glass in your window also forms part of your decision-taking process.

SOUNDPROOFINGENJOY THE SILENCE AND COMFORT

PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE FORA BETTER QUALITY OF LIFENoise has a huge impact on our quality of life.Two of its effects are disturbed sleep and constant stress, both of which can cause lasting damage to our health.

PVC windows are an effective protection against noise and help towards creating a permanently agreeable ambience.

10 PVC WINDOWS CATALOGUE

dB (decibel) is the unit of measurement commonlyused in acoustics to quantify the noise levelsperceived by the human ear.

OPEN WINDOW ~ 80 DB(dense traffic)

OLD-STYLE WINDOW ~ 60 DB(single pane)

STANDARD WINDOW ~ 48 DB(double glazing)

PVC WINDOW ~ 35 DB(Ideal 4000)

SOUNDPROOFING Permanent exposure to a noise, or even exposure to an intense noise over a brief period of time, can have a damaging impact on human health.

This is why soundproofing is so necessary. We can provide you with the best possible protection against the unwanted negative effects of noise.

BEAR IN MIND THAT:A reduction of 10 dB (decibels) represents a perceived noise reduction of 50%.

INFLUENCING FACTORS

DEYPLASA 11

U (Uw) ValueThe U value of the glazing (Ug) * glazed surface area (Ag) + the U value of the frame (Uf) *frame surface area (Af) + Psi value (H*) * length of the perimeter seal (I) / glazed surface area (Ag) + frame surface area (Af).

The U value determines the thermal transference coefficient of the material. The subscript w of this value refers to the window as a whole.The calculation thereof is based on the U values and the dimensions of each individual material of all the components, in other words the glass, the material of the frame, as well as the psi value, which describes the thermal flow that occurs via the perimeter seal with the spacer of the insulating glass.

CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS

Thanks to our wide experience and the fact that we have our own high-end glass manufacturing plant, we at DECANOR shall be able to advise you as to the most suitable glass for your windows in accordance with the type of window chosen, the direction it faces, height above sea level, etc.We use many factors to determine the best choice.
