Invisible Doorway

Hidden “Jib” Doors

A door that is hidden in plain sight is commonly referred to as a “jib” door. Jib doors can often be called invisible doors or frameless doors. This type of door traditionally sits flush with the wall and matches any pattern on the wall. Jib doors provide a camouflage entrance to “secret” rooms. Everyone loves a house with a hidden door or secret rooms. We can provide jib doors, concealed cupboards and riser door systems perfect for concealing unsightly riser doors, access panels and service cupboards.

Essentially, it’s a door that is flush-mounted right into the wall—and often without hardware—essentially making it “invisible.” Sing Core provides lightweight and high strength door panels. These panels are crafted with the utmost precision. Sing Core’s door panels are comprised of a specially designed torsion box honeycomb core. This special design prevents warping, even in greatly over-sized doors. Sing Core is one of the only door companies who can guarantee their doors for 50 years. No other door company can make this claim!

Known for their essential “invisibility,” jib doors are flush-mounted directly into the wall allowing them to blend beautifully with their surroundings. The most subtle jib doors often lack any visible hardware. Bookcase doors work perfectly as entrances to panic rooms or vaults for storing firearms, jewelry, documents and other important items. A jib door is nearly invisible, or at least disguised from being recognized as a door. It may have the same moldings or wall treatment as the surrounding wall, creating a door hidden in plain sight.

What is the purpose of a jib door? A jib door or set of jib doors allow you to disguise that old broom closet so no one would even know it is there. Jib doors are very popularly used to keep precious valuables safe and secure. More importantly, jib doors can and are used to conceal your home’s panic room. A jib door is only hidden as well as it is made precise. Do not take any chances, and let Sing Core build your very own custom jib door. Sing Core offers precision unlike any other door company out there. This being said, we can manufacture the most seamless jib doors on the market.

Sing Core builds the most high end and lightweight doors on the market, and remain economically friendly! We custom build every door by hand to ensure the utmost precision as well as the utmost customer satisfaction. Plus, if your invisible door has Sing Core inside, you get the added safety and security of having a fully insulated sound deadening jib door which is also highly effective in maintaining consistent temperature control on either side of the wall door.

Millworks and high-end custom door manufacturers know they can rely on Sing Core’s ability to provide a warp-free door blank which will remain straight and true enough to protect the hidden door’s secret of invisibility over time. Not only can Sing Core offer the utmost precision, but we can offer precision that lasts longer than any other door company. Traditional door materials; such as solid wood, hollow core with MDF, or plastic tend to warp as they age and some are warp the day you purchase them! Sing Core guarantees that every door produced will not warp or fail, and this is backed by the Sing Core 50 year guarantee!

Eco Friendly Qualities of SingCore

 

SingCore’s patented core material is one of the most environmentally friendly materials on the market, combining state of the art strength and flatness with Earthly friendly materials and manufacturing practices.

Build from Sustainably Harvested Renewable and Recycled Materials

The primary components of SingCore’s system are a wooden vertical grain torsion box infilled with recyclable foam cells. SingCore uses all locally sourced wooden components in the core material. Wood from sustainably managed forests is an eco-friendly resource, with no VOAs, formaldehyde, or other potentially toxic chemical components added.

SingCore uses recyclable EPS foam that includes post-consumer or post-industrial content. The foam components are free of HCFCs, dyes, and formaldehyde and include the following environmental credentials:

  • LEED certification credit
  • Compliant with the NAHB/ANS National Green Building Standard
  • Energy Star approved
  • Compliant with ASHRAE standards
  • Title 24 (California’s Stringent Standards) compliant

Our patented and patent pending material uses only a fraction of the wood and the total resources of standard wooden construction. This makes our core both light as well as efficient.

Earth Friendly End of Life

At SingCore, we take product end of life seriously, which is why our core is built to impact the Earth in a healthy way.

The main wooden structural components of the core material are all biodegradable materials which form a natural part of the environmental cycle. We abstain from the use of chemical preservatives and other chemical processes which might taint the wood and pollute the environment.

Foam components of the core are 100% recyclable, themselves being made with post-consumer and post-industrial content.

With proper end of life management, SingCore components need not contribute to landfill bloat.

Energy Efficient, Low Green House Gas Producing Production Process

SingCore products are built in the United States using low energy processes. Our highly efficient cold-presses and streamlined hand production methodology ensures that very little electricity or fuel is consumed during manufacturing of SingCore.

Further, SingCore is placed in rainy Washington State, and so has access to clean hydroelectric power. Washington State produces the most green power in the country and accounts for more than 1/4 of all hydro power nationally.

SingCore locally sources the majority of our manufacturing inputs, to reduce overall transportation related greenhouse gas production, and ships directly to your factory or job site using LTL freight to further decrease environmental costs.

Highly Insulated

Because of the foam cell construction of SingCore panels, we are able to boost greater than R-3 / inch of core material, with and optional boost to R-6.5 / inch of core when upgrading to Urethane foam in the core. Combined with our perfect flat construction, which leads to superior weather sealing, our panels are saving energy every day in high efficiency construction projects.

Built for Longevity

The hallmark of SingCore is that we build for longevity. SingCore doors are the only doors on the market that come with a full 50-year structural guarantee.

Products with long life spans means there is less overall waste and fewer products making their way in to the waste stream. Our SingCore is made to stand the test of time, and to last a lifetime if not more.
