The challenge for high end door makers – especially large oversized doors – is attempting to provide a high precision, true flat solution that is fully insulated, lightweight and high strength. Even the best millworks in the world are looking for solutions. Primary concerns are raised when an oversized large door is made of a beautiful exotic wood, metal door, FRP door or paint grade door. A door like this can cost tens of thousands of dollars but still has potential to warp, if not made of patented Sing Core using our premium true flat and stay flat technology.

The Only 50 Year True Flat Guarantee

Premium Sing Core doors are the only doors that can be guaranteed to be made true flat and stay true flat for 50 years in writing. These are the only insulated, lightweight, high-strength doors that do not warp, bend, twist or cup regardless of application and/or size, even if they are oversized large doors exposed to the elements. See a clients list of Sing Core doors.

Sing Core’s true flat definition far exceeds the Architectural Woodwork Institute industry standard.

Professional Sing Core large doors outperform the national standard and 7 ft. or larger doors can be guaranteed true flat prior to placing your order. Patented premium Sing large door technology is the only insulated, lightweight, high strength  large door with the best true flat warranty in the door industry.

Sing Core’s true flat guarantee is available in all products that have been designed and built for specific environmental and performance standards as specified by the architect or client. This proprietary technology ensures a specific degree of true flatness based on science that takes into consideration the height, width, thickness, skin material(s), exposure and stress.

Sing Doors are the only Eco-friendly fully insulated, lightweight high-strength doors that are true flat and will stay flat for 50 years guaranteed.

* True Flat Guarantee only applies to end product accompanied by written Sing Core guarantee. To qualify, Sing Core is involved in the design of the core and skin materials for the specific use of the product over the life of the product. Different materials may be necessary to guarantee precision and performance over time. Confer with salesperson regarding spec requirements prior to building.

Solid as a Rock

Sing Core end product compares in weight to hollow core aluminum panels, but patented Sing Core is a solid core that exceeds the performance of any other honeycomb core (or even solid cores) available elsewhere. No other affordable insulated Eco-friendly flat building material can compete in comparison to patented Sing Core’s shear strength and light weight.

Large Doors – No Problem

One of the challenges in building any wood product of any dimension where the customer desires a perfectly flat surface over long spans is impossible in many circumstances.

Patented Sing true flat technology is based on expertise in building any panel that can be guaranteed true flat and stay flat. This composite science includes the proper proportions of Sing Core, aluminum and/or other composite materials and bonding agents based on your requirements or specifications. In this way each Sing door is a work of art.

This is the proven niche specialty service provided by Sing Core to the World’s most high-end, demanding, high-profile millworks and end users for years. Due to the unique properties of the patented Sing Core material, true flat designs can come to life and deliver superior satisfaction while carrying a 50 year structural guarantee for everything from high-end homes to sliding hangar doors.

The True Flat Challenge

The true flat door is a challenge for architects, door manufacturers, millworks and general contractors, especially if the door is 1 inch thick (or more), over 8 feet wide and/or 16+ feet tall.

Aluminum composites are common in the aerospace industry, but are cost prohibitive and not insulated, sound deadening or user-friendly for mill working or broad earth-bound use. Sing Core is designed to be used in millworks and does not require any specially-trained labor or specialized equipment; treat it just like you would any other standard wood-based substrate material.

Sing Core’s true flat process utilizes vertical grain torsion-box/foam-core/aluminum composites to deliver the solution. Contact us for more information, and if you like, we will show you how to integrate this new technology into your operation.

True Flat Sliding Doors

One of the greatest attributes of your sliding door is the actual performance of the sliding door.

Certainly, upon installation, your wood sliding door or interior pocket doors may perform superbly… but for how long?

It may be important for you to seek out how to make a sliding door that has a high level of performance. And what are the benefits that will increase the performance of your sliding door? Consider:

Only one door company can deliver a sliding door that delivers high marks in all those important features. See our comparison chart comparing Sing Core doors panels to other door core materials.

So if you’re looking for closet ideas, sliding closet doors or double closet doors for your wardrobes that are true flat and stay flat without warping or twisting, then you might consider the Sing Core alternative.

True Flat Composite Decoded

The mystery of the true flat composite materials has been solved and reduced to simple scientific process that is the key to patented Sing Core’s success in delivering a product that is true flat (far beyond AWI national standards) and will stay flat for a hundred years.

One of the key ingredients is knowing when to use patented sing core and substrate enhancers and composite materials in the proper proportions and for specific uses to deliver the high-end performance that you or your client demands.

In fact, Sing Core’s aluminum honeycomb panels are the most popular product used all over our planet from beneath the sea to outer space and everywhere in between.

Industrial – Extreme Weatherproof

Our industrial sliding doors and marine sliding doors are specially designed to survive the rigorous changes in the elements including exposure to extreme weather conditions.

The secret lies within the core of the sliding door which is basically one of our honeycomb panels that is the foundation for the superior performance of sliding doors that must remain perfectly straight to reduce maintenance over time.

Even though any Sing sliding door can be finished in any flat exterior building material, the aluminum sliding door is extremely popular and can easily have any other surface material, like

any wood species, concrete, glass, FRP, HPL, and can be made to be water-resistant or bullet-proof.

The Sing sliding door is not only a light door that reduces strain and wear on the door hardware, but it is also stronger than metal hanging sliding doors and even make magnificent plastic sliding doors.

And when it comes to big sliding doors, our custom oversize sliding doors continue to deliver the best results enjoyed by the top millworks and door companies in the world service the most demanding high-end users.

Disclaimer

All Sing products manufactured by Sing Core are true flat. That means that they all exceed AWI standards for flatness. Some products may not maintain flatness if they are not used in the application for which they were designed and manufactured.

Example: A wood door that was designed as an interior closet door, will not perform well if installed as an exterior boat cabin door. While it may perform well upon installation, even though the door still exceeds AWI standards, it may fail and would void the Limited Lifetime Warranty if not used in the manner for which the door was designed. A door manufactured to the performance standards of an exterior marine door could be guaranteed, and would likely require additional materials, options and labor to meet the specifications and naturally would cost more than a closet door.

Suggestion: Specify your performance standards, just like our architects do, and we can manufacture any Sing product guaranteed to meet or exceed your requirements, if possible.
