Faq

How does 7SECOND® actually speed up installation?

Speed comes from three factors:

The profile arrives on-site already cut to size, eliminating preparation time.
It requires no additional drilling or machining.
The 7SECOND® fastening system allows for quick and precise attachment.

Which models guarantee a minimalist, flush-mount finish?

Both the GHOST model, designed for flush-wall installation, and the MAGIS model, with its minimalist finish, feature an advanced geometry that completely conceals the fixing screws and ensures perfect architectural integration of the guide.

What is the main advantage of a pre-cut, custom-sized guide?

The main advantage is the elimination of errors and waste on-site. Having a ready-made component ensures consistent precision, reduces scrap material, and nullifies risks related to inaccurate measurements or cuts made on location.

Does the 7SECOND® profile allow for front or side installation?

The 7SECOND® Ghost solution allows for front installation. The 7second Magis solution allows for both front and side installation.

Can I integrate the 7SECOND® system into my own aluminum guides?

The 7sec closure and its 7sec Clip can be easily integrated into the customer’s aluminum side guides, subject to technical definition.

Is the 7SECOND® system compatible with all Clipzip systems?

Depending on the size of the Clipzip system, Plastex will provide the necessary technical indications to ensure the functionality of the 7second system best suited to your needs.
