What door companies do not want you to know.

Today, the most common doors found in private residences contain a paper core. These doors are flimsy and are easily punctured, even when slightly impacted. Owners of these doors find themselves spending time and money on repairs, replacements, and installations that would not have been an issue had they purchased a door from Singcore. Singcore doors do not cost much more than paper-core doors, yet they have been tested to be at least 49 times stronger.

Door Security

How secure are your doors? With our patented core, you can rest assured that our torsion box technology will stand up to harsh treatment and all weather conditions. Our doors have been thoroughly tested and have been proven to withstand the impact of a sledgehammer. There is no comparison between the stability, structure, and strength of Sing Core doors versus paper-core doors.

This is a Sing Overhead Garage Door Panel compared next to a typical steel overhead garage door panel. Same size and thickness but as you can see the steel panel buckles with only a few pounds put on it while the Sing Panel holds almost all of Inventor Peter Sings weight without any problem.

Stronger than Steel,

Lighter than Wood

Doors do not have to be made out of steel to be rigid and strong. Sing Core doors are stronger and lighter, than steel and vinyl doors. Standard steel overhead garage doors are made of steel so thin that a golf ball can dent it. This is not the case with Sing Core doors. We offer higher quality doors at prices competitive with steel doors with quality superior to wooden doors.

Sing Core doors are more stable, provide better insulation, and are far lighter than solid wood doors. The torsion-box core holds the Sing Core door flat, ensuring that that the panel will not warp and sag like ordinary wood.

Patented Sing Door Methods

Sing Core doors are versatile and customizable. Every order is custom designed with the client’s project in mind. Each door is constructed using methods that specifically cater to our customers’ individual needs. We construct our doors using the following methods: pole barn grade, paint grade, wood grain grade, and plank grade.

 

 

How We Build Our Doors (The Best Method – Sing Torsion Box Panel Method)

The easiest way to build the best doors.

Step 1 – Apply Glue to the Skin

Step 2 – Build Solid Wood Frame

 

Step 3 – Install the patented Sing honeycomb torsion box core & press on the skins.

Step 4 (optional) – Cut hole for window and prepare window trim.

Step 5 (optional) – Install glass and finish the door to desired look and function.

Step 6 – Install the door onto jam.

 

Method 2 – How We Build Our Doors (The Second Best Method – Stile Rail)

 

On the left are patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail. On the right is veneer (walnut) ready for gluing onto the patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail.

 

 

Apply glue to our patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail.

 

Press veneer to patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail. Most honeycomb panels cannot handle the high pressure and temperatures of the hot press, Sing honeycomb can.

 

Stile and Rail after the veneer has been pressed on.

 

See how straight the patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail are, yet they are still incredibly strong and lightweight.

 

Drill holes to accept dowels.

 

Doweled and glued.

 

Router out the end if hardware is to be installed

Stained and ready for glass and installation.

Vertical & straight grain, wide-plank flooring for your Sing Log Home

Sing Log Homes are solid and substantial homes. They need “solid” flooring to compliment them.

Our Sing Flooring™ System consists of vertical and straight grain wide planks that are made from 1-1/2” or 2-3/8” solid wood laminates. Thanks to the patented quarter-sawn manufacturing technique and the laminating process, the Sing Flooring System is thicker than most solid wood floors,and yet more dimensionally stable than most engineered wood floors on the market. It is truly the best of both worlds

The Benefits of using Sing Home Flooring are endless. Here a list of a few of them:

Does Not Require Subfloor – Sing Flooring is subfloor and finish floor in one. Just fasten Sing Flooring to the floor joists like subfloor, then sand and finish like any premium solid wood floor. Sing Flooring can even be exposed to the weather during construction.

Dimensionally Stable  – Sing Flooring is manufactured from laminating quarter-sawn (vertical grain) solid wood strips. Quarter-sawn lumber offers superior strength and dimensional stability over flat-sawn lumber. Sing Flooring virtually will not warp, sag, or squeak.

Water Resistant – Unlike any other solid or engineered wood flooring, Sing Flooring offers unparalleled water resistance. During our tests, Sing Flooring had been exposed to the weather for 2 months (often soaked in rain) with no structural nor cosmetic damages.

Healthy & Sustainable – No formaldehyde or other toxic chemicals are used during Sing Flooring’s manufacturing. Now you can enjoy wood as a healthy natural resource. Sing Flooring is also a environmentally friendly and sustainable wood product, since it can be manufactured from much smaller lumber.

Quiet & Warm  – Sing Flooring is comfortable to walk on. The plank’s extra thick “soft” wood construction makes Sing Flooring quieter and less tympanic than most hard wood flooring. Sing Flooring also offers more thermal mass than regular thinner flooring materials. The ability to retain and slowly release heat give Sing Flooring a warm feel and also makes it an ideal wood floor for radiant floor heating.

Long & Wide  – Sing Flooring is one of the widest (9-1/2″) and longest (up to 16′) solid wood flooring materials on the market. This translates to less labor and fewer seams.

Install Anywhere  – Sing Flooring is versatile due to its strength, dimensional stability and water resistance. Now you can have beautiful hard wood floor anywhere in the house -even in bathrooms. The Sing Flooring Premium is perfect for loft or upper level flooring application -wood flooring and ceiling planks in one installation. Other applications include roof deck, outdoor decking and counter tops.
