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!

Sing Core Security Door

Sing Core Security Doors

Your front door is the gateway between your home, family, and belongings, and the outside world. Nowadays, it’s not enough to just protect your home from the elements, your door needs to provide safety and security for you as well. Sing Core’s new Security Door provides the same durable and high quality comforts you’re already familiar with, with added protection against intrusion.

What is a Security Door?

A Security Door is used to provide additional protection and peace of mind over what a standard door can do. Whether used as an exterior door, an interior door, or even a garage door, our Security Door can bring this added safety to your home or business.

Sing Core door panels are already incredibly strong, resilient, and guaranteed to last, and we stand by those qualities. However, intruders are constantly looking for ways to bypass the protection provided by traditional doors. These methods can include using anything from a chainsaw, to a circular saw, to an axe. While we trust in the strength of our standard core, with enough time and strong enough tools, even they can be cut through. With our new Security Door, that changes.

Why Choose a Sing Core Security Door?

Sing Core Security Door Panels come with our patented high-quality honeycomb core and rigid steel reinforcements. The honeycomb core provides insulation, strength, and sound-deadening features, while also remaining incredibly lightweight. By adding the steel reinforcements, we double down on the strength and durability of the panel, making it incredibly difficult to cut or break through. Plus, the door remains impressively light for the quality it provides.

A traditional door can be cut through in less than a minute, and while it would often make a lot of noise, these break-ins are often done when no one is home, meaning you won’t be there to catch them in the act. Cutting through a Sing Core Security Door with the same tools would take substantially longer, and brings other challenges to the intruder, such being much louder, the likelihood of breaking a tool on the unexpected metal reinforcement, and a significantly higher chance of being caught.

In addition, these doors can be used in many cases aside from the standard front door scenario. Businesses with expensive equipment or sensitive documents may want to secure them in a more effective way, and luxury car owners may want a garage door that can’t simply be kicked in or cut through. You could even use Sing Core Security Panels to build a mobile and lightweight cabinet for on-the-go secure storage.

 

When it comes to your home, security is not an area where “good enough” is all you need. There are many ways you can improve the safety and security of your home, and installing a Sing Core Security Door is one of the most effective options. A break-in happens every 26 seconds in the United States, reaching 2.5 million break-ins every year, with over half being home burglaries. Let’s keep your homes and businesses off of that list.

Upgrade Your Garage Door with Sing Core

Upgrade Your Garage Door with Sing Core


Garage doors are one of the most difficult, yet necessary parts of a garage. Whether they are sliding or folding, up and down or side to side, they serve an important purpose in the safety and security of your home.

Why are Garage Doors so Important?

Garage doors serve as the final layer of security between your vehicle and the outside world. In addition, most garages connect to the house by a simple door, which is often left unlocked or unsecured. This means that a simple sliding door is all that stands in the way of anyone attempting to enter your home. Many garage doors are incredibly thin plastic or sometimes metal, and are incredibly easy to get through.

These thin garage doors also offer very poor insulation, meaning if your garage is heated, you will watch your heating bill skyrocket as all that hot air leaks right through the door.

For these reasons, we recommend upgrading your garage door with a Sing Core product.

Why Sing Core?


Sing Core’s patented door panel design is the industry leader in custom, lightweight, and sturdy doors. They are lightweight enough to easily function as a garage door, whether folding, sliding, or otherwise, and provide incredible insulation during the winter months. Instead of wasting money by heating a cold garage with an inferior door, a Sing Core product helps keep that warm air inside, lowering your heating bill and making your garage significantly more enjoyable.

In addition, Sing Core products are incredibly easy to repair, and when repaired return to their full strength. This means that if you ever damage your garage door, you’re more likely to be able to simply get it repaired as opposed to having to buy a whole new product. Even this situation is unlikely, however, as Sing Core panels have a 50 year quality guarantee, so if your product ever fails on you, you can rest assured that we’ll make it right.

Does Sing Core Help With my Home’s Security?

It does! While standard garage doors are often thin, flimsy, and overall lacking in the strength and durability required to act as a secure door, Sing Core products are incredibly sturdy, and you can mount additional locks and other hardware as needed to guarantee a secure entrance into your garage, and possibly home. In addition, Sing Core products are stronger pound for pound than steel, meaning your lightweight and easy to use door is still incredibly durable, and won’t simply chip away or warp on you.

Summary

No matter what time of year it is, garage doors are constantly showing their faults. Whether it be poor insulation, poor security, or simply poor functionality, they are an annoyance that many of us have to deal with daily. Installing a Sing Core product for your garage door not only remedies the issue of insulation and strength, it also gives you the peace of mind to know that you garage and home are safe, and your custom door will last you for decades to come.

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.

How to Build the Biggest Warp-free Door

Sing Core has long been in the business of building the biggest warp-free doors in the world. And now you can learn how to build the biggest warp-free door as well. The first thing to note is that Sing Core does not build doors, even though Sing Core is credited and called out in architectural specifications as Sing Core door(s).

Inventor Peter Sing’s patent and patent-pending inventions are deployed in Sing’s Sing Core factory to provide the warp-free basis for high-end millworks and the biggest door companies for building big doors, over 8 ft. tall and up to 50 ft. or more, that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup, or otherwise fail for 50 years.

New Door or Replacement Door

Sing Core assists in the building of either New Doors, doors that have not existed before, or Replacement Doors, doors that are being replaced and may have to be replicated to maintain the appearance of the original door, such as in the case of participating in a historical restoration.

How to Build the Biggest Warp-free Door

Since Sing Core does not build doors, it is up to the architect to imagine what size the new door should be and of what materials the door should be made of. In the case of replacement doors, Sing Core is provided all the specs based on the original door to be either replaced or replicated.

The following steps are followed in making a door with Sing Core inside:

Step 1: Answer questions, and estimate

  • What is the size (length, width, thickness) of the door?
  • How will you be finishing the door
  • What type of door hardware will be used (hinge, pivot, sliding, overhead, etc.)?
  • What style of door (flush, architectural, plank, French, Dutch, etc.)?
  • How and where will the door be used?
  • Will this be an interior or exterior door?
  • Are there other specifications (weight, insulation, sealing, etc.)?

Step 2: Re-evaluate and refer to Sing’s True Flat Team, if necessary

Evaluate your estimate and let Sing Core know if we can help meet your budget

The True Flat team is available to help you provide your customer with a door that fits within their budget.

Sing Core and the True Flat team can suggest ways of changing some of the details of the panel, such as, reducing the height/width or choosing a more cost-effective skin.

Steps might need to be made to modify Sing’s composite hybrid solid substrate to accommodate the challenges that may not have been noted in the original details gathered in Step 1.

Step 3: Manufacture specified Sing Core

The specific Sing Core substrate core is then manufactured in Sing’s factory by skilled workers who have been manufacturing Sing’s cores for years using Sing’s patented and patent-pending technologies. Occasionally, a new challenge is recognized that the true Flat Team has never seen before, that is when Sing get to inventing again, and when a solution is achieved, this will likely lead to another patented solution.

The core which is based on Sing’s insulated reinforced vertical grain torsion box core, may or may not be framed, and is sandwiched between two matching skins, ready to be used as door core.

If no other services are required, skip Step 4, and go directly to Step 5.

Step 4: Additional services

To further assist the millworks and door companies in the manufacturing process, Sing Core may provide other services. For instance, the millwork or door builder may elect to have Sing’s factory apply additional outer door skins to the completed Sing Core substrate, in a sense, creating a custom door blank.

Some of the additional services that Sing’s factory may provide, include:

  • Trimming
  • Adding exterior skins
    • Wood stave
    • Veneer
    • Cement board or concrete
    • High Pressure Laminate (HPL)
    • Fiberglass
    • Formica
    • Metal
      • Aluminum
      • Cold rolled steel
      • Copper
      • Galvanized steel
      • Hot rolled steel
      • Lead
      • Stainless steel
    • Impact/Bulletproof/Blast resistant materials
  • Light cutouts, openings, for glass inserts
  • Routing for architectural grooves

Step 5: Package and ship to millwork or door company

Sing’s factory packages and ships the door core or prepared blank to the millwork or door company who will finish the door.

Step 6: Finishing

Finishing takes place at the millwork or door company who installs hardware, finishes, and hangs the door, which is ready for installation.

Current Trends Don’t Wait

This is an update to let you know what the current trends are, here at Sing Core.

The biggest trend is this:

Warped Doors… Help!

We have been getting a lot of calls from professionals who have installed large doors who are now in trouble because those doors warped. As you know, Sing Core is the only way to build a large door that does not warp, and we guarantee it for 50 years.

If you are in trouble and need that door right away, we can do it for you, but you will incur rush fees. You will be far better off by getting the door assistance from Sing Core in the first place.

Don’t wait. Let Sing Core save you the headache, lost time, and expense of having to replace that high-end door later. According to the reports of incoming requests, the large doors are having to be replaced within six months of the job’s completion. Don’t let this happen to you.

We Can Do It

When you work with Sing Core to help you make that big door, you are working with inventor Peter Sing’s True Flat Team that knows how to build warp-free doors. They have years of experience with all types of building materials and types of doors. They know what can be done, what cannot be done, and have patented and patent-pending technologies to make an otherwise potentially warped door, warp-free guaranteed.

 

 

Ordinary vs. High-end

This is the difference between an average door and a high-end door: Precision over time. Out of the gate, Sing’s door core sports +/- .006 in. tolerance which is the highest precision door core to start with. That’s not including all the anti-warp technologies that are available to the team to make sure your door does not warp over time.

Built to Your Specifications

We can solve the issues that you are facing with your door. We can make the door lightweight, no matter what the size, but if you need to match a weight requirement, we can help you achieve that as well. Your door with Sing Core inside can be built according to your specifications.

Some Other Trends We Are Seeing

Grooved Doors

Architectural doors with horizontal grooves appear to be all the rage. If you have been doing this for a while, you already know that routing kerfs, plow cuts, furrows, or V grooves is compromising the door’s structure and may lend to increasing the door’s tendency to warp, but not if it has Sing Core inside.

 

High precision 1/16″ groove in 1/8″ skin

We can pre-cut grooves, even deep grooves (we have a special process for extra deep grooves) for you, without jeopardizing your non-warping guarantee. If you are doing a high-end job, you should start with a high-end core, like Sing’s warp-free door core.

Curved Doors

Unlike arched doors, curved doors must be very exacting to match the curve of the structure in question. The last thing you want is for that door to move, rendering the door unusable. This is extremely important for curved doors, that they keep their shape consistent over time.

Sing Core can match any curvature in your perfectly curved door and guarantee maintaining is shape in longevity. Nobody else can do that and guarantee it for 50 years.

CNC Carved Doors

CNC carved doors are really being seen as on the increase. These doors can be rather large, and you will need enough wood (meat) to carve into, and there are varying landscapes being carved into the grain, which is an invitation to warpage.

To prevent future warping doors, these CNC artisans are making sure they have non-warping Sing Core inside, specially designed and reinforced to accommodate both the natural wood grain and the varying depths being carved throughout the door’s surface area.

How Can We Do It?

How can we consistently make the doors that are impossible for other door manufacturers to create? Because it’s all we do. We have been doing it for years and will do it for many more.

We are not saying that other companies cannot provide their clients with 50-year warp-free extraordinary doors, because we work with the biggest and best door companies to assure that they can give this level of service and precision to their clients. They trust us with giving them what they need to deliver their best to their best clients.

Let us help you deliver the best big doors to your best clients.
