2. 2 PVC WINDOWS CATALOGUE
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.

with lower thermal requirements. It is for this
reason that we have retained our BASSIC System
with its thickness of 45 mm and two chambers. This
system is ideal for use not only in private apartment
buildings, but also in modular dwellings. This is due
to its different frames that enable the attachment
of plasterboard on the interior and a bond with the
materials used for cladding the façade on the exterior.
This versatility provides a high degree of functionality
and reduces the configurations to a minimum for a
perfect finish.

METALLIC PARTS
ESSENTIAL 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

GLAZING
THE VISIBLE PART OF A
WINDOW
The importance of the glass in your
window also forms part of your decision-
taking process.
MANY SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE:
TINTED GLASS
The 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 GLASS
This 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 GLASS
Two 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 GLAZING
Two, 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

PROTECTION AGAINST NOISE FOR
A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE
Noise 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.
11. DEYPLASA 11
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.

Innovative high quality DECANOR PVC
windows cut energy loss down to a minimum.
By fitting PVC windows you can contribute
towards the conservation of increasingly

contaminating emissions.

The U value determines

The calculation thereof is
based on the U values and the
