Why Sliding Doors are Taking Over the Industry

Sliding Doors are Taking Over

From hinge doors to incredibly unique doors, there are many popular designs to choose from when deciding what kind of front, feature, or office door you want. A style that is becoming increasingly popular is the sliding door.

Why Sliding Doors?

Sliding doors are unique when compared to most other forms of entry on the market, given one main feature: they slide. Obvious, we know, but it’s an important distinction to make, since that one aspect brings a wide range of advantages.

First, a sliding door has a tiny footprint when compared to most other door options. Any entryway that swings out or folds to the side has a functional footprint that is much larger than the door itself, as it usually takes up its full length on two axes. A sliding door does not have that limitation, as instead of swinging open, it instead slides over the wall, over itself, or into a concealed pocket. This greatly reduces its footprint and keeps the surrounding area clear of any “door swing”.

Second, a sliding door offers a few additional options and features over a traditional hinge or pivot door. Sliding doors can be large or small, and the general installation remains the same, whereas particularly large doors of other varieties can require special hardware or reinforcement of the door jam. Sliding doors are also easy to adapt to nearly any setting, with just a few slight modifications. Do you want a sliding door that can lock and secure a room? That can be done with ease. Are you looking for a spectacular door that can open up into a large room in a unique way, like this sliding door as Laserfiche that Sing Core made possible? With a traditional swing door that would be difficult, but with sliding doors, it becomes a beautiful centerpiece that people will talk about for years to come.

And Third, sliding doors are the modern pick. Simply put, swing doors are out and sliding doors are in. If you’re looking for a way to bring some extra flair to a modern build, a sliding door is a great way to do it. They look great, function easily, and fit the streamlined and sleek concept that is taking over so many design trends. Don’t get us wrong, hinge and pivot doors are still fantastic options, and they have their uses, but the modern architect is moving toward sliding doors as the go-to option.

Summary

Sing Core can help create amazing doors of any style, and we by no means want to discourage people from using pivot, hinge, or other door types if that’s what they are set on! When it comes to modern designs, office buildings, and other scenarios where you may want to build a trendy, fun, and sleek atmosphere, sliding doors are the best option. From visuals to functionality, sliding doors are the way of the future, and Sing Core, we can make your sliding door dream a reality!

Advantages of Sing Core for Commercial Applications

The Advantages of Sing Core for Commercial Applications

Sing Core has many uses and advantages in both home and commercial applications, though we tend to think more of the home applications than those in the office. We often undervalue the importance of things such as doors in the workplace, though they are essential to the daily operation and safety of our businesses.

Doors in the Workplace

The first type of door people often think of in the workplace is the front, back, or “entry/exit” doors. These are incredibly important when it comes to the safety and operation of a business, yes, but there are many more types of doors that are commonplace in commercial industries. One other common type is the standard interior, or office door. There are also “feature doors”, which are usually large, grand, and beautiful doors that act as the opening between important areas or large rooms (see this fantastic double sliding door at Laserfiche as an example). The other common types of door are security doors, room dividers, and more. Sing Core has experience making each of these, and our panels make an excellent choice for them.

The Advantages of Sing Core

While Sing Core’s benefits in the home and professional market are similar at their core, there are some features that excel in the industrial and business sectors. One such advantage is the ability to make large, custom, and lightweight doors with our patented core. Many businesses make use of these beautiful doors as their entry, or as a feature inside, but standard construction options lead to them being incredibly heavy, or come with many other downsides. Sing Core specializes in large doors, and we make them significantly lighter than other methods, while still retaining incredible strength and durability. Our panels are also guaranteed to remain warp-free and structurally sound for 50 years, so you never have to worry about your large custom door warping and becoming unusable on you.

Another major advantage to using Sing Core in the workplace is the insulating and sound-deadening properties of our panels. In a situation where privacy is important, like you’d expect in meeting rooms or offices where confidential information is shared, you need to ensure the security of that information with a door that reduces or eliminates the sound that passes through it. Sing Core doors do this incredibly well, as our insulated honeycomb design naturally muffles sound. This also makes it a must have for businesses close to a busy street, as the passive street sound can be a detriment to a workplace.

In addition to the sound-deadening nature, we also offer a Sing Core Security Door for applications where safety and protection are essential. If your business holds high-end electronics in specific rooms, or perhaps you have sensitive documents and information, you need to ensure that the door you use to secure those areas can hold up to any attempt to break in. A Sing Core Security Door is reinforced with steel bars to guarantee the safety of what you hold on the other side.

Summary

Sing Core products deliver many valuable properties to both home and commercial applications, and we encourage you to reach out to learn more about how Sing Core can fit in at your home or office!

Protect Your Home From the Winter with Sing Core

Sing Core and Your Warmth

As we hit the half way mark of the 2022/2023 winter season, many are finding that their homes lack proper insulation in many different ways. One of the main reasons your home may not be holding warmth is your exterior doors. Doors are often poorly insulated, if even insulated at all. A poorly insulated door can surge your heating bill up, as it allows warm air to leave the home and cold air to filter in unrestricted. A door made with Sing Core’s patented honeycomb panels is guaranteed to improve your internal climate, as they are well insulated, lightweight, and can be made to fit any door size.

Why Choose Sing Core?

Sing Core doors offer many advantages over the standard options, and are the industry best in making high quality, durable, and lightweight doors. Our products are made with a laminated honeycomb core, allowing you to choose nearly any door design while still maintaining that high end Sing Core result.

In addition, our doors are guaranteed to be warp free. Doors can warp slowly over time, especially in areas with constantly changing weather. Rain, snow, freezing temperatures, and many other factors can lead to your door warping, and even the smallest warp can change the entire feel of your door. Sing Core doors are guaranteed to not warp, meaning you’ll always have a smooth and straight entrance.

We also offer a 50 Year Guarantee on our products, promising to stay sturdy and straight through that entire time. This brings you peace of mind to know that you will always be satisfied with your door, as it will stand the test of time regardless of the conditions.

What Are The Benefits of Sing Core?

In addition to the high end insulation and 50 year guarantee, our doors are also incredibly sturdy and lightweight. A typical door can be one or the other, but at Sing Core, we make door panels that are durable, without weighing down the hinges and being difficult to move. Because of this, we can make doors of nearly any size, further broadening your options with elegant tall doors, large garage doors, and many others. Our panels are also sound deadening, offering additional uses as interior doors for studios, or even exterior doors in loud areas.

What Kind of Doors Can Sing Core Make?

Nearly any door is an option when using Sing Core. Exterior doors, interior doors, large doors, pivot doors, sliding doors, and garage doors, among many others, all become a possibility with our amazing product. Plus, these various applications will all have the same benefits, so you can have an insulated garage door, a lightweight large door, and more.

We invite you to look at our customer gallery to see some of the amazing things we’ve been able to create, and when you’re in need of a high end door, remember Sing Core.

Large Sliding Doors

If you’re looking for the best large sliding door, you’ve come to the right place. Sing Core specializes in creating the ultimate sliding door experience. We manufacture the only door substrate that you can use to create the most extraordinary doors in the world.

The above picture is a demonstration of Sing Core’s strength.  Two 8’x9′ oak doors (approx. 800 lbs.) laying on top of two 7’x8′ curved doors.  The curved doors had no visible movement due to the high strength of Sing Core. As you can see, the eye plate is so small but can support such a large door panel.

 

These three curved panels measure 7’x8′ and are built to the highest precision and strength to last a lifetime.

 

Here is another example of a curved door with a smaller radius built with the exact same expertise.

 

Sliding Doors
The deal with sliding doors is that you want your sliding doors to remain straight and true throughout their service life. Architects, designers and end users face the issues associated with sliding doors, but rest easy knowing your sliding door has Sing Core inside.

Problems with Sliding Doors
The first problem with sliding doors is that they tend to move (warp, bend, twist or cup) compromising the doors’ performance. Especially in the case of sliding doors because they hang parallel to a wall (like sliding barn doors), next to another door (such as double sliding doors) or within a wall (like sliding pocket doors). If the door does not stay straight, it can wreck either the sliding doors or the surfaces they slide against, or both.

One way to overcome the warpage issue is to utilize stronger materials which tends to greatly increase the weight. The downside is that increasing the doors’ weight creates another set of challenge. For example, heavier doors require heavy duty hinges to support the doors. Heavier doors also require more labor for handling, installation, and any servicing it may require.

 

As you can see, this massive door is 8’x9′ and remains perfectly straight.  So straight, in fact, that it is perfectly freestanding on end!  If there was even the slightest amount of warpage, then this door would topple over.

 

Sliding Door Design Problems Solved
Architects and engineers are constantly perplexed with the problems associated with sliding doors, fortunately an Eco-friendly composite solution made in the USA, helps to solve the problems associated with faulty sliding door design. Patented Sing Core, along with their true flat door team, can help to create sliding doors that will remain straight and true far beyond the service life of any other sliding doors. By working with Sing Core’s design staff a combination of Sing Core and patent-pending sliding door stiffening solutions can create perfect sliding doors that are lightweight, high strength and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup or otherwise fail for 50 years.

These oak doors are manufactured with the highest precision.  As you can see, there is no gap between the two oak doors.  If they were slightly warped, or a little uneven, there would be a gap showing, possibly more.

The Perfect Large Sliding Doors
The best custom door manufacturers and millworks who offer long warranties on their large doors have a secret inside each one of their high end professional sliding doors: Sing Core inside. A properly designed and built large sliding door with patented professional Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

The Best Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are the perfect way to complement to your home’s individuality. Sliding doors are ideal for smaller spaces, due to their space saving nature. Some sliding doors even slide completely out of sight and into the interior of the adjoining wall. These doors create a pristine and merely seamless entrance to any room. We are glad to provide you with the best sliding doors in the industry.

Sliding doors consist of one or more door panels that open by either gliding on a track or hanging from rollers mounted above. This style of door is very sensitive to weight, as the entirety is often hanging from the top of the door jamb. If the doors are too heavy, this can cause some serious and potentially dangerous issues. Sing Core have the solution to these issues.

Traditionally built sliding doors have a tendency to warp over time. That may not seem like a big deal, but it can make the door fall from its track. It is very dangerous when this happens especially when someone is nearby… Ouch! Whether your sliding door is a patio style door or a sliding closet door, its best to have it lightweight and truly flat for the entirety of its lifespan.

WE HAVE YOUR ANSWER

Custom Sliding Glass Doors

When it comes to custom sliding glass doors, Sing Core help to free the imaginations of the contemporary architects and designers who dare to dream big. And the biggest custom sliding glass doors in the most exotic and expensive applications in the world have Sing Core inside.

If you don’t already know about Sing Core’s large custom sliding glass door solution, then you probably have not been faced with an oversized project door detail which has resulted in periodic failure of large sliding glass doors due to failure.

Hopefully, you discovered the Sing Core custom sliding glass door solution without having to encounter the problems associated with calls from your clientele regarding failure due to warping or some other reason.

Routinely, door companies, brokers, or millworks will review a job to be considered for a bid estimate. If the job mostly consists of standard-sized doors, they may exclude the oversized doors from the job and let someone else deal with those, or if they decide to include and bid on them, they will be certain to exclude them from their standard warranty.

It is customary to exclude any large custom-sized sliding doors (anything over 4×8) from the door schedule and/or warranty because there is a high probability of failure, especially if the doors in question are exterior doors.

Why are exterior sliding glass doors so problematic? There are a number of reasons why custom sliding glass doors fail. Basically, the weight of the door causes stress and strain on both the hardware and the structure when operated. The more it is used, the more potential for moving, or twisting. You will see evidence of this first in the breakdown of weather stripping and locking mechanisms.

This is considered normal wear and tear at first, so the solution is to replace the weather stripping and locking mechanism. Yet, that heavy door continues to wreak havoc, and not long will need repair again, only now, the door will start sticking, which indicates trouble in the area of the rollers. So, the next round of repairs includes the replacement of the rollers when the weather stripping and locking mechanism is replaced again.

You see how this goes, all this ongoing maintenance on a custom glass sliding door system that continues to deteriorate over time.

This is why door companies seek out Sing Core for replacement sliding glass and hinged patio doors. When you start with a top-of-the-line solution, like Sing Core, you’ve won the ongoing maintenance war by eliminating your door problems altogether by starting with

Lightweight Custom Sliding Glass Doors

Weighing in at a fraction of other door systems is only one of the benefits of a custom sliding glass door with Sing Core inside. This eliminates the extra wear and tear on the system of such a heavy door, which saves costly repairs to sliding door hardware, locking mechanisms, and rollers which tend to deteriorate due to the sheer weight of the door.

Warp-free Custom Sliding Glass Doors

This is the big hit among those big oversized custom sliding glass doors. Sing Core keeps your doors perfectly straight, and in doing so keeps the door from bending slightly (which may be barely noticeable, at first). When your custom sliding glass doors are built with Sing Core inside, they are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years.

 

50-year Warp-free Guarantee

Your Sing doors are built to last for hundreds of years but are guaranteed by the inventor and president of Sing Core, Peter Sing, to remain warp-free, including full structure warranty for 50 years.

Using Sing Core to build your custom sliding doors is the only way to guarantee them from warping or failing for any reason for a full fifty years.
And your doors can have this full structure warranty and warp-free guarantee for 50 years regardless of size.
Replacement Sliding Patio Doors in Custom Sizes

Anything from standard door sizes to really big oversized doors (up to 40 ft. or more) to fit your dream specs. With Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending sliding door systems which are custom fitted to any opening for hospitality, commercial, industrial, or residential, with unmatched high precision (Sing’s core +/- .006 in. tolerances) and sustainable long life (50-year guarantee) you can rest assured that your purchase is sound.

Sing has a reputation for supplying the best energy-efficient aluminum sliding glass door to military, science, and tech industries all over America.
Speaking of sound, Peter Sing’s invention is providing sound deadening capabilities across America in everything from soundproof booths, recording studios, office telephone booths, the potential applications are endless.

So, if you’re looking to replace an existing or create a completely new custom sliding or hinged patio door, you will find Sing’s custom-made patio doors are the standalone option, if you care to have the very best.

Sliding Glass Patio Doors

There is little doubt that Sing Core can add value to any door including sliding glass patio doors, and offer incredible advantages in wood patio doors, which have the biggest tendency to warp, but not after they have Sing Core inside.

A heavily insulated, high precision sliding patio door makes a huge amount of difference, in terms of performance, and cost savings by all but eliminating costly maintenance and repair.

Your sliding glass patio doors can be smarter and work harder for you if they have Sing Core as their basis. Modern sliding glass patio doors can be feature traditional wood, or have glass cutouts for lite openings, such as French-style sliding glass doors.
