How to Build a Big Door

Applications -> Building Components -> Doors -> How to Build a Big Door

There’s a good chance that if you’ve struggled with all the potential problems that one might face with attempting to build a big door that will not warp, bend or twist, there are many challenges that you will face, especially if you don’t want your big door to be extremely heavy. Heavy door cause strain on the hardware and structure increasing the need for regular maintenance and upkeep.

Sing Core makes the largest, most dimensionally, stable large oversize, eco-friendly aluminum doors that are used by the most prestigious millworks and high-end users. Only Sing Aluminum oversized doors can be large, thin and extremely flat.

The beauty of large oversize Sing Aluminum doors is that they can be any height, any width, any thickness and can be manufactured in as little as three days.

The advantage of fusing the Sing Core material with aluminum, is that is nearly impervious to changing weather conditions and retains its true flatness and structural integrity over long spans and is the standout solution for big sliding doors, that will fail if not maintaining perfect straight structural integrity over a long service life.

But Sing Aluminum doors don’ t have to look like aluminum doors at all, because the aluminum can be part of the substrate which can host nearly any exterior material.

Some examples of exterior materials that we have made large oversize Sing Aluminum doors out of include:

aluminum (there are many varieties)
cement board
ceramic tile
concrete
fiber glass
glass
MDF
metal
plastic
plywood
solid wood
stainless steel

… including ballistic materials for bulletproof applications. The possibilities are limited only to any available flat building material.

For the last few years, this emerging aerospace technology has been providing solutions to architects and designers that is top drawer, to say the least. The best-known, oldest, most reliable, high-end millworks in the United States depend on Sing Core to deliver the goods for them when it comes to large, oversize aluminum doors.

This technology is solving large oversize sliding door design solutions for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and the Pope, especially when the application calls for extra strength, oversize or true flat… without compromising weight for strength.

True Flat – Guaranteed

Sing Core is the only door manufacturer that can create aluminum doors that are true flat over long spans, and will not warp, twist or experience extreme deflection under stress. And, thanks to the lightweight properties in comparison to other solid materials available, Sing Core aluminum doors are lightweight, causing less strain on the structure and hardware, even though the size may be very large.

These doors are 10 ft x 16 ft x 2 1/4″ thick w/marine-grade plywood exterior.

Years of working with the most demanding high-end clients has helped us understand unique requirement to guarantee true flatness of any Sing Core aluminum door. This does not mean that every oversized Sing Core aluminum door is guaranteed to be true flat under all conditions. But we can design the perfect Sing Core Aluminum Door for your specific requirements and guarantee it.

To achieve our true flat guarantee, all you have to do is to provide us with the size (up to 50 ft), the thickness, surface material desired and the intended use for your Sing aluminum door, and we will design for you a door that will meet and exceed your specifications. Take advantage of our expertise and years of serving the most high-end clients around the globe.

How to Coat your Sing Aluminum Door

Sing Aluminum Doors are so versatile, they can easily be painted, just like any other door. For successful painting use an etch primer, just like you wood any normal wood primer. The etch primer has an acid compound that etches itself into the aluminum, so no pre-sanding is necessary, follow-up with the same procedure for painting any other primed door. Of course, you could always add another surface layer of material to have any appearance you desire.

How to Cut, Rip or Trim your Sing Aluminum Door

Many of our clients order Sing Aluminum Door blanks by the truckload. These are basically unfinished, and the finishing, hanging and hardware is done by the client.

In the beginning, one might have concern over working with an aluminum door blank as opposed to a wood door blank in the wood shop that is customarily used for prepping the doors. The good news is that Sing Aluminum Doors can be cut, ripped or trimmed using standard woodworking equipment, There is not need to change saw blades or any other equipment in your standard door shop.

Our standard aluminum doors also offer superb sound deadening qualities and our EPS foam offers a 3.5 R factor per sq inch of thickness. Other R-factors available upon request per your specifications.

Door finishers work with Sing aluminum doors just like any other wood doors. No special handling or extra tools are necessary to accommodate the installation of your Sing Aluminum door.

Stand-Up Computer Workstation

The most popular gift for university students, this year, is the standing computer desk.

This ergonomic upright computer desk allows the student to operate the computer while standing, enjoying the health benefits over operating a computer from a sitting position.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

This unique design offers many options for the student or interior designer, including:

sleek design (24.5″ x 46″ x 12″)
stack multiples into wall units
adjustable shelves
use as:

bookshelves
extra closet space
storage
moving box
dresser

Due to the patented Sing Core material, when used as shelving, each shelf will withstand up to 180lbs of books (or whatever) with no deflection and the upright computer stand’s layout and design takes up little space in a student’s dorm room, while utilizing the shelves beneath to act as storage.

The Sing Upright Computer stand weighs-in at only 18lbs, so it is easy to move from here to there when necessary – and is so light weight, we offer free shipping to you (some assembly required).

People who sit at desks for long periods of time develop health issues similar to those of long-haul truck drivers. Metabolic and digestive systems fail to operate in optimal capacity, leading to weight gain and reduction of overall health, including back pain and higher likelihood of contracting diabetes.

Standing while working at the computer is increasingly the alternative to traditional sitting workstations increasing circulation, reducing blood pressure and promoting better health. Students who use the standing computer work station report greater creativity and less fatigue while working for long hours.

Also by simply using a standing workstation rather than sitting at a desk burns an extra 500 calories a day, just by getting up out of that chair and working at this space-saving alternative that takes up much less real estate than a sitting desk.

Torsion Box

Torsion box design in woodworking is basically a number of wooden boxes assembled together to make up the core material sandwiched between two sheets of wood. This is a labor-intensive process for craftsmen, but does produce a lighter-than-solid-wood product that has increased strength due to the torsion box interior.

Click for How to Buy Torsion Box Sandwich Panel

Craftsmen have been using torsion box for centuries, but it takes a skilled craftsman hours if not days to create a table… Sing Core provides craftsmen with the torsion box structure pre-built. Doing so allows you to make 50 times more tables or 100 or more Sing Torsion Box 2 in x 12 inch x 8 planks in a single day. Wood products made of patented Sing Torsion Box lumber, panels, posts or beams can be easily mass produced in a small work shop without adding any heavy wood working machines. The labor-saving and high-quality will make it possible to bring the furniture making jobs back home, creating jobs and improving local economies while reducing the impact of imported furniture.

Inventor Peter Sing has taken torsion box technology to the next level, making massive improvements to the primitive, yet effective, torsion box design.

Sing Improvement # 1: Flip the script.

The first improvement on the traditional torsion box design was so simple that it was merely, “a gift,” as Sing explains. Torsion box grids have always been an effective way to produce a large wooden surface, while retaining some integrity of strength and resulting in a lighter weight end product. “But,” says Sing, “the wood material used to construct the torsion boxes always used horizontal grain.” By reorienting the grain to be vertical, the resulting torsion box became 10 times stronger than the horizontal grain original designs, but he wasn’t done, yet…

Sing Improvement # 2: Fill the void.

The next step was to fill the void with a stable, yet lightweight, material. Recycled foam was the answer. By filling the vacant space in each cavity of the torsion box, edge to edge greatly increased the strength of the torsion box, as well as adding insulation and sound deadening properties, without adding much noticeable weight increase.

Sing Improvement # 3: Fuse the structure.

The final step in Sing’s revolution in torsion box design was to develop a method to bond all the necessary components together resulting in a nearly indestructible, yet solid, lightweight structure. Experimentation led to discovering superior bonding agents for superior adhesion that will not breakdown due to stress on the structure or over time… and this was achieved without the use of formaldehyde or toxic chemicals.

The result is a natural torsion box design combined with recycled materials that could be used as a substrate for nearly any building material, making Sing Torsion Box the composite material of the future.Sing Core is also Eco-friendly, “True green,” Sing calls it because it is all manufactured naturally, with little energy consumption, uses recycled materials with little or no waste. It also reduces the greenhouse effect in fuel expended in the delivery of the material due to being so lightweight. Manpower reduction is also an effective savings due to its lightweight characteristics.

Sing Core is proudly manufactured in the USA in McCleary, Washington, and due to its lightweight attributes can be shipped to any location on Earth at a fraction of the cost of other, traditional solid building materials while maintaining strength over long spans, much stronger than any other natural materials.

Peter Sing was awarded a patent on his improvements to the traditional torsion box technology and eagerly desires to share his invention with the masses in an effort to, “make the world a better place.”

Aluminium Outdoor Storage Kits

Eco-friendly insulated aluminium Sing Panels are both lightweight and high-strength – more so than any other affordable building material in the world – are solving challenges facing architects, designers, contractors and industries, especially when facing issues with weight, strength load bearing capabilities or extreme weather protection.

Due to the unique properties of the Sing Aluminium Panel, we are being sought out as the most fast, cost effective way to erect aluminium outdoor storage sheds, garages, carports, metal buildings, mobile offices, even underground bunkers and fallout shelters.

Our popularity is vastly growing as engineers discover that complete portable storage units, temporary structures, metal buildings, office cubicles, temporary buildings and so much more.

Outdoor Storage

Sing aluminium panels are renowned for building structurally sound buildings in very little time with few man-hours and can b built by one person alone, or easily by two. Similar to our Tin House Kits, outdoor storage shed kits can provide you with all the aluminium panels that you need.

Why are Sing aluminium outdoor storage units so popular?

Because due to the internal insulation and torsion box/foam structure of Sing Core, each panel is a complete stand alone wall, floor, ceiling or roof.

Many outdoor Sing metal storage buildings can have a lot of functional applications including portable storage units, outbuildings, portable storage sheds, weather proof wood sheds or temporary storage buildings.

This is an excellent alternative to other portable buildings for sale, storage building kits, prefab sheds or other storage shed kits that are over-priced and take months to build.

If you’re contemplating your next portable storage building, you should be using Sing aluminium panels for your portable storage, wood storage sheds or portable shed.

Warehouse Office Structures

When you need to build an in-plant office, temporary cold storage, clean room, enclosure or partitions, Sing Aluminium Panels make this project quick, easy and painless. If solving your space and staging challenges is both important and rapid resolution would increase your bottom line, this is the answer.

Simply assemble the Sing Aluminium Panels in the configuration that would best suit your needs in the moment and you are ready to go with your temporary structure, mobile office or office cubicles. If you requirements change, or you develop a better way to reduce necessary floor space, reconfiguration is a snap.

Think of your Aluminium Sing Panels as modular walls for custom enclosures that can be reconfigured on-the-fly. Within hours your mobile offices can be converted to portable classrooms, industrial enclosures or used as a project enclosure box.

These interior aluminium enclosures can easily be assembled and left as permanent, or disassembled and reassembled as entirely new staging areas, partitions, room dividers, as a temporary office, portable rooms or instrument enclosures.

Commercial or Retail Metal Outbuildings

Sometimes in the real world of business you need outdoor temporary buildings to address a specific need that faces your organization. Sing aluminium metal building kits could provide you with the structure that you need in a short amount of time, and your solution can be realized with very little labor hours expended.

You could quickly assemble a mobile office, or have a stock of Sing Aluminium Panels on hand to erect modular buildings on-the-fly that provide safety and security for either inventory or staff.

It makes sense to have Sing Aluminium Panels on hand for your metal building needs that can be easily reconfigured to meet your needs at a fraction of the price of other metal buildings for sale.

In this day and age providing safe and secure environments for staff is or primary importance to reduce labor and industry costs.

A popular concern that patented Aluminium Sing Panels has been effective in addressing is that of tending to the needs of staff, visitors or clients who smoke. You can have an aluminium smoking room up and running within hours as your authorized smoking shelter that can be placed in a discrete location.

Other popular uses of insulated Sing aluminium small buildings as outdoor shelter include bus stop, parking kiosk, rain shelter, while providing a weatherproof enclosure.

Imagine having weatherproof enclosures that can be configured as an instant shelter that can provide you with temporary shelters, portable shelters or even a portable storage building so that you don’t have to rush out to find portable buildings for sale.

These instant aluminium waterproof enclosures can also be used as a temporary project enclosure box.

Auto & RV Metal Building Kits

Sing Aluminium Panels enable you to build a structure using our unique, “Don’t be framed,” technology. This means that you can build a metal garage without any framing because the structural framing is built in to each insulated Sing Panel, so all you have to do is to assemble the panels in the configuration that you desire. Entire structures can easily be built in a day with very little labor.

Whether you’re storing your classic car, recreational vehicle or boat, you can quickly and easily assemble one of our aluminium garage kits in a day with one or two people. You can do it yourself without highly skilled metal-working skills. No welding required as our Aluminium Sing Panels feature solid wood edges (or not) are as easy to work with as plywood. No special skills or equipment is necessary.

Whether you are looking at carport kits, metal garages or metal garages in general, Sing Core can supply you with the materials to do it right – better than any other prefab garage – for the best possible car shelter.

Imagine having a portable carport that you can assemble, disassemble and take it wherever you go. Of all the metal carport kits that are available, only Sing Core can provide you with an aluminium metal garage that is better than those other prefab garages.

Sing metal storage buildings are modular and can be flat-packed and stored when not in use, giving you the highest degree of flexibility in aluminium outbuildings or portable garages.

Sing aluminium portable carports can be used as a motorcycle shelter, RV carports, boat shelter or just about any other purpose that you could imagine for a metal carport kit.

Sing Aluminium Insulated Shed Kits

Insulated Sing aluminium sheds are lightweight and easy to build in a matter of hours but are extremely weatherproof and stronger than steel pound-for-pound. Using space-age technology, this revolutionary approach to building a nearly indestructible metal shed is unparalleled.

Aluminium Sing Core fabricated outdoor storage sheds can be portable storage units for outdoor storage and are widely used as wood sheds

Aluminium wood storage sheds are available as storage shed kits that include all the Aluminium Sing Panels that are necessary to build your insulated metal shed that can be built easily in a few hours without any framing, like other prefab sheds.

Your Sing portable shed can be an aluminium portable generator enclosure or portable shelter if need be. Sing aluminium storage shed kits have been used to build everything from portable storage sheds to industrial sheds, etc…

Survival Shelters

Gaining a wider audience in the survival community, Sing aluminium panels are the safest, easiest and quickest way to build underground bunkers or an instant fallout shelter.

Sing Core’s Smallest House in the World introduced the world to a safe, insulated, weatherproof small structure that could be built in five-and-a-half minutes that could be easily heated and used as emergency housing, temporary shelter, portable storage, garden shed, play house, etc…

This garnered the attention of survivalists, who started to use Sing aluminium panels to create catastrophe proof structures that could be built discretely and rapidly.

Projects resulted in many different function of the same basic shelter, including bomb shelter, emergency shelter, underground shelter or any number of other variations on this aluminium instant shelter idea.

If you’re thinking about building a survival shelter of your own in a day instead of months, you might consider using Sing aluminium panels to build your emergency shelters, underground shelters and/or bomb shelters.
