Museum and Trade Show Wall Connection

Sing Core is your Museum and Trade Show Display go to resource. We specialize in providing you with the highest performance materials and components to build the best displays in the world that are lightweight, come in a variety of thicknesses are true flat, high strength walls (from 1/2 inch to 8 inch thick) and can be reconfigured and assemble repurposed quickly and easily.

Nearly Seamless Connection Method

In an effort to remain flexible with all designers and end-users, we have experience with mating our patented Sing Core panels to any connection system with simple cam locks or hidden nuts and bolts to meet your specifications.

Customers sometimes seek us out to retrofit our Sing Panels to existing systems as they replace their old panels with new ones. Whatever your circumstance, we can help you upgrade to high-performance long lasting Sing Panels trying to match the same life span as your museum display object is our common goal (our dream is building Sing museum panels as museum collections – we offer 100 years structure warranty for museum trade).

Since standard Sing museum and trade show panels feature built-in wood frames and have many skin options such as wood, metal, HPL, FRP, magnesium board (for sound deadening), as exterior treatment, simple carpentry skills and wood working tools are all that is needed to modify or beautify your panels on site completing your work of art. You will not confused by European imported museum panels that come with dozens of metal parts and heavy aluminum frames to reinforce the panel’s strength. Alternatively Sing Museum Walls, shelves and displays embrace good, old-fashioned American wood craftmanship. European import paper core and particle board lack the strength compared to patented Sing Core and solid skins provided by Sing Museum wall panels.

It’s amazing what an impact some wood trim/molding can add to the appearance of your project. We can provide finishing at extra charge, or you can do it yourself in house.

Even though Sing Panels can be joined in any configuration or designed to your specifications we have a system available for our standard 2.25″ panels that include a connector stile with cam-lock receptacles to match your Sing Panels and we can accommodate any angle to meet your requirements.

Trade Show Panels Q & A

Thru-bolt Joining

One of the most inexpensive and secure ways to join sing panels is by utilizing a simple nut and bolt connection method, especially, if the panels will be routinely or repeatedly assembled and disassembled.

Stainless steel nuts and bolts offer the safety and security when joining sing panels.

Proper corners connections keep your Museum or Trade Show Panels straight and true, and can be adjusted to meet your specifications:

Adjustable feet may be the key to leveling your trade show panels to any environment while maintaining straightness and professional image

Museum Display Panels Q&A

Q: Are Sing museum display panels nailable?

A: Sing museum display panels are nailable if the skin is over 1/4 inch plywood or custom nailing block or strips are pre-planted prior to manufacture. Our standard surface material is plywood. It may be important, if you are specifying a special exterior skin or other specifications, to note in advance to the manufacture of your panels that you intend to nail, as that may require additional material to accommodate nailing.

Q: What does a standard Museum Wall Panel look like?

A: Sing Museum Wall panels are created to any specs supplied by the museum’s architectural designer. The base Museum Wall Panel is 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 3 in. with 3/8 inch MDF surfaces, though 1/4 inch Marine Grade plywood is also in demand as a base material. Though these are fairly standard, your panels can be completely customized to your specs.

Q: Do your Museum Wall Panels come with Cam Locks?

A: Sing Museum Wall panels can have cam locks installed at an additional charge. In most cases, museums order the panels without alterations as the staff woodcrafts people install cam lock on-site. In some cases it is requested that panels are pre-drilled for cam locks or have cam locks installed at an additional charge.

Q: How thick can your Museum Wall Panels be?

A: Sing Museum Wall panels can be any thickness that you are considering for your museum exhibit design. It is common for our museum clients to order extra thick panels (normally 6 inches thick, but could be thicker), so that they can be assembled singlehandedly (yes, they are that light weight) and without having to secure them (standing solitarily) very stable.

Q: Can the appearance of your museum display panels be changed on-site?

A: All standard Sing museum display panels are compatible with vinyl covering materials that are widely available in almost any color, design and may be custom printed. These self-adhesive vinyl sheets (also available in rolls) can be applied and changed at any time within minutes.

Q: Do your museum display panels require complicated, patented hardware that costs extra?

A: Our standard museum display panels have built-in solid wood edging and wood panel facings that can easily be assembled with basic woodworking skills and tools. We do have connection systems available for our clients, if requested, also we can retrofit our Sing panels to fit any existing hardware that you may be currently using.

Q: Do your museum display panels have electrical channels built-in?

A: Our standard museum display panels do not come with interior electrical channels, we do provide then either vertically or horizontally to your specifications at an additional charge. Many millworks router-out their own channels for wire management from the basic Sing panel’s solid wood edging.

Q: Do your museum display panels have headers to support lighting attachments?

A: Standard Sing museum display panels are strong enough to support lighting, shelving and accessory attachments without adding any additional support. Simply attach your gear just like you would any standard framed wall. (No expensive proprietary hardware attachments necessary.)

Q: What if we need to reconfigure your museum display panels? Will we have to buy special hardware or seek out a metal shop?

A: Standard Sing museum display panels are wood, unless your specifications require other materials to be used, so any panels can be easily redesigned reconfigured with basic carpentry skills and standard woodworking tools.

Q: What finishes do you have available for your museum display panels?

A: All Sing trade show panels are available in virtually any surface material that you desire. Standard paint grade panels can be painted and finished, or re-painted and re-finished just like any other wood-based wall. Otherwise, peel and stick vinyl coverings are available in nearly any color imaginable and easy to cover to accommodate any desired appearance on-the-fly.

Q: Do you have end caps, or trim available for your museum display walls?

A: Basically, we do not engage in the finish work of your walls, though we can complete the entire design at additional cost. Most of our clients save the money and do the finish work themselves and wood trim is a simple and elegant enhancement for your Sing museum display walls.

Q: Where can we get parts and accessories for your museum display panels?

A: Since our basic Sing museum display panels are wood-base, unlike other expensive patented import wall systems, no special hardware is necessary. Anything you need is easily attainable from your local hardware store, or available through online retailers like eBay or Amazon.

Walls Moveable Walls Temporary Walls

Patented Sing walls look just like any other standard wall but are super lightweight yet stronger than steel, straight as can be and can be guaranteed to stay straight for life (though they are built to last for centuries).

The applications for Sing Walls are endless as they are moveable and can be used for movable walls, demountable walls, wall partitions, room dividers or trackless walls in your office, conference room, school or at home.

Eco-friendly Sing walls are not only light, straight and super strong but they are also pre-insulated saving you energy as well as providing sound deadening qualities in a true-green wall that can host any exterior material including metal wall panels and fiberglass wall panels (or be any color). Engineers are discovering Sing walls as sound proof solutions for commercial and home recording studio sound booths.

It is truly amazing to watch one or two people install a Sing wall in minutes that appears just as though it was a full framed wall – but (and here’s the exciting part) – Sing walls are stronger and straighter than a traditional wood framed wall. Why? Because of their unique built-in torsion box/foam composite interior structure.

Whether your application is for semi-permanent walls or permanent walls, Sing moveable wall panels are the standout solution for all your temporary wall needs.

In many cases artisans transform the structurally sound panels into decorative wall panels that are an artistic representation of the designer’s vision for decorative wall paneling and you might even be standing next to Sing elevator wall panels on your next elevator ride.

Due to the unique attributes of Sing Core, our operable partitions, curtain walls and room dividers, really deliver results as they replace 1100 lbs. partitions with our 98 lbs. solution.

See us at your favorite expo as your favorite exhibitor is probably using Sing wall panels in their trade show display or in your favorite museum.

Case Study: Princess Diana

These modular museum exhibit walls are in 8 foot and 10 foot tall varieties and include 3/8 inch plywood facings for easy nailing and weight less than 100 pounds each as used in this Princess Diana exhibition. Sing museum exhibit wall systems generally range from 1.5 -to- 3 lbs. per sq. inch.

Museum Science Industry Exhibit Design

Do not buy any European import museum modular wall system before you talk to Sing Core

The nationally recognized European import in the museum display industry requires an aluminum frame and a great deal of proprietary hardware to offer strength to the structure.

In comparison to Sing Core’s patented core material, the European industry leader’s paper honeycomb core does not compare in any way in matching Eco-friendly Sing Core’s lightweight, high strength, continued straightness and flatness over long spans for long periods of time.

The museum science industry is taking notice of Sing museum display panels because they are structurally guaranteed for 50 years but designed to last centuries.

How can you guarantee Sing museum panels for 50 years?

Sing museum panels are a melding of tried and true woodworking craftsmanship with space-age composite technology. The patented Sing Core material is a vertical grain natural wood fiber torsion box filled with foam and fuse-adhered to external materials (of nearly any variety) to complete the rock-solid structure material that will not warp, bend or twist and can be guaranteed true flat – and stay true flat – for centuries. So a 50-year guarantee is a certain underestimation of Sing Core’s potential uncompromised lifespan.

Free-Standing Museum Walls

Modular Sing Free-Standing Museum Walls are perfect for executing high-end exhibit displays that are elegant, yet are lightweight, stronger than steel and Eco-friendly. Sing Free-Standing Museum Walls require little construction, can be assembled by one or two staff and come in any size to met your specifications. Standard sizes are 4 ft x 8 ft x 1 ft or 4 ft x 10 ft x 1 ft and are available in any size.

Super strength

These temporary display walls are strong enough to secure lighting, artwork and hang heavy features for display without compromising the modular structure or your museum design.

It is important that structural integrity be maintained over time, and Sing museum exhibit panels are not only true flat upon receipt, but are guaranteed to stay true flat. A warped wall is a useless wall or it takes a lot of steel or aluminum frame to keep it flat, for our demanding supporters. It is hard to find a lightweight but true flat wall without having to be aluminum reinforced such as Sing museum display panels.

History Meets the Future

Isn’t it time to embrace emerging leading-edge technology to display and protect the most important historical relics with the most integrity over time?

Museums have been able to effectively use modern structural materials in an effort to educate and preserve our history. Until now, the best answer may have been off-shore European-made museum panels with little structural integrity, but designed with heavy aluminum framing to deliver the flatness and straightness that is required in the area of historical perseverance.

Museum exhibit design just got easier

Now, thanks to Peter Sing’s invention, panels can be thinner, more lightweight, stronger, with less hardware and can be configured for any layout/design quickly and easily with very little staff (2 people) without requiring any special tools.

Many of our museum clients like being able to order six-inch thick panels that can still be assembled single-handedly and require less structure because they nearly stand on their own.

European import systems are complicated, require metal framework to maintain structural integrity, have complicated hardware for assembly and reconfiguring could require additional imported hardware to accomplish redesign of the original display.

Assembling Sing museum panels is quick and easy using built-in cam-lock system to simply lock in each panel. The wood frame enables any craftsman with traditional woodworking skills and tools to reconfigure Sing museum panels into any configuration, without metal or complicated hardware.

Affordable

While maximizing your museum exhibit design capabilities you need to be financially responsible to your supporters. Sing Core helps you reduce your costs by supporting the museum science industry with discounts that help to subsidize your goals for achievement and maximizing your budget.

Sing museum display panels will cost about half of what you would expect to pay for European import panels.

Easy tear-down, storage and reassembly

What our museums want is a system that would be long lasting, portable, reusable and could be assembled without extensive carpentry work (avoiding dust and noise) but would look like any other permanent museum design.

Creating temporary exhibits is very simple and easy due to the unique properties of Sing museum panels being strong, lightweight and easy to assemble. A two man team can erect your Sing museum exhibit display in minutes.

Likewise, when the temporary exhibit has come to an end, the cam-lock system is easy to disassemble, and the panels store flat until they are needed for the next use – and there’s no complicated hardware to store, catalogue, sort or maintain.

One-Time Purchase

This is a one-time purchase, as the panels remain perfectly straight without additional support, do not bend, warp or twist, even under heavy loads and interlock securely with pre-installed cam-locks. These are strong enough to attach and nail materials to and can easily be repaired to new condition for the next show.

No need to worry about replacement museum display panels for your childrens museum, museum of natural science, science and industry museum or history museum, the only time you will need to re-order Sing museum panels will be to expand your museum’s capabilities even more.

True Green Technology

Sing museum panels embrace an environmentally friendly approach that uses less metal (such as aluminum) and are constructed using very little energy and resources are formaldehyde-free and create little or no waste.

Sing Core’s sustainable products promote a greener earth and these Eco-friendly exhibit panels use natural renewable veneer.

Sing Core uses renewable and recyclable/recycled material, lasts for decades to comes and at an affordable price – while European import systems use paper, cardboard and/or particle board which is wastes energy and creates unnecessary waste.

Invented and made in the USA

Eco-friendly Sing exhibit panels were invented here in the United States, made in USA and patented worldwide.

Support your American economy by using and promoting made in the USA Sing museum panels that help to keep jobs and dollars right here in the United States while supporting local craftspeople instead of relying on specialized imported hardware.
