How to Build a Wall

Building an interior wall, either fixed or temporary is an all-day affair for the do-it-yourselfer. Using patented Sing products you can build an insulated lightweight, high-strength sound-deadening wall in minutes.

There are several methods for building a wall using Sing products.

#1 – Sing Sandwich

This is the least expensive and most common way to build a wall using 4 ft. x 8 ft.

No frame is necessary

EXAMPLE

Build insulated lightweight high strength wall in minutesWalls built in minutes with insulated Sing honeycomb modular wall panels

In this example, this room conversion can be completed in just minutes with six (6) insulated Sing Sandwich panels. This could be the division of a master bedroom or office, anywhere/any time; and the whole system can be assembled, disassembled and reconfigured as necessary.

H Channel for Joining Multiple Sing Panels EconomyHow to Connect Sing Sandwich Panels

There are many methods to connect your Sing products. In the example (above) simple H channels were used to connect the panels quickly and securely.

Unlike any other temporary wall system, your Sing Modular wall panels are:

* Lightweight * High strength * Insulated * Sound deadening * Eco-friendly * Made in the USA *

#2 – Sing Panel

Unlike Sing Sandwich panels, the Sing Panel has an embedded solid wood frame around all exterior edges of the panel. Standard width of the solid wood edging is 1.5 inches but could be any size to meet your specifications.

thru-bolt-panel-connection-1How to Connect Sing Panels

Again, many options abound for connecting Sing Panels but you have the advantage of having a solid wood edge to which you could nail, screw or use many alternative connection methods available to the craftsmen, millworks and contractors who use them.

While toenailing or screwing may be the least expensive quick fix, thru-bolt joining is an effective option because of the solid wood edge, allowing you to set up and tear down without damaging the panel’s edges.

#3 – Sing Modular Wall Panel

The Sing Modular Wall Panel comes complete with the connection method pre-installed and comes in two varieties…

How to Connect Sing Modular Wall PanelsSolid lightweight high strength insulated modular wall system buscuit joiningModular Wall Panel A

The Sing Modular Wall Panel A is the default model of the Sing Modular Wall Panel. The standard size is 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 1.5 inch but is available in any size per your specifications. These modular wall panels come pre-configured for connecting via biscuit-joining.

Biscuit-joining slots are pre-installed three along the sides (length) each side and two on the top and bottom (width) of the Sing Modular Wall Panel for easy installation and secure connection.

Cam lock panels for lightweight high strength modular wall panelsCam locks for cam lock panels used in lightweight high strength modular wall panelsModular Wall Panel B

The Mercedes of the Sing Modular Wall Panel comes with high-end quick-assemble/release cam locks. These cam lock panels come in any configuration for your cam locks to meet your specifications.

Normally, in Sing modular wall applications, cam locks are only necessary at the top and bottom of the sides of the panel. There is a considerable cost difference between the cam lock technology and biscuit-joining, but for the client that only wants the best joining method of all, cam locks are by far the choice of the elite end-users.

Door Warping vs. True Flat

 The mystery of door warping:

Ever since people started making doors, especially large doors, they have had to deal with the problem of warping.  Door designers and manufactures are still dealing with this scary problem.  The problem is so widespread that if customers were more demanding, they would not settle for the AWI standards for warping.  Door warp makes doors bend and creates air leaks.  If you look at the many frustrated discussions on the Internet about how to deal with door warping, you never see a discussion about the “core” of the problem.  Yet, how can you solve the problem if you do not address the cause?

What is the cause?

True Flat Guarantee premium certified true flat1.  The standard door core is a main cause. No matter what kind of standard core a door is made from, whether paper core, foam core, SLC (Stave lumber core), particleboard, SCLS (Structure composite lumber), LVL (Laminated veneer), mineral core, mdf, cardboard, etc., etc., etc., warping is inevitable.  Even a solid wood door will warp.  A sliding or pivot door will have unbearable warp at only ¼ inch due to the reference next to a straight wall or door jam.  This warping is even worse in a door over 8 feet because of the strength of the movement.  So far, the best solutions have been to only make 7-foot high doors, or to make excuses (i.e., no or very limited warrantees) for doors over 8 feet, or to use gaskets to hide the minor warping, but these are temporary solutions that require costly maintenance and replacement and tarnish the reputations of the building trade professionals involved in the projects.  As such, most doors usually do not have warranty protection against the inevitable warping.  Even with SCLC (Structure composite lumber core) and LVL (Laminated veneer), commonly used in high end large door will not remain true flat due to the wood fiber constantly moving.

2. The skin is a cause because of moisture and/or temperature imbalance on the inside and the outside of a door. For example, an exterior door is up against different climates on both sides of the door and in the interior of the door.  This difference in moisture and temperature inside and outside the door moves or warps the surfaces.  For example, if one side of a door is up against 12 percent moisture and the other side of the door 7 percent, then the low-moisture side will pull the higher-moisture side of the door to cause warping.  Eventually, this constant warping action causes permanent damage and allows drafts and leaks through the door.

3. The inadequate glue between the skin and the core is a cause. Warping also causes surface material (“skin”) such as fiberglass to delaminate between the foam and fiber glass skin, or the door core made of paper or cardboard, or light density foam.  Doors usually start out perfectly flat, but eventually impact and weathering separates the door core from the skin, and the door is warped.

4. Weight is a cause. Some door skin, such as lead, cement, minal board, etc., is so heavy that it causes the door to collapse, sometimes even during the moving and installation process.

Yet, the warping problem has been solved!  Building designers, contractors and millworkers as well as homeowners can dance for joy.

Patented Sing Core

Patented Sing Core

The revolutionary patented Sing core technology has solved the warping nightmare.  Doors made with Sing panels are true flat (non-warping) and will stay true flat and can be guaranteed true flat for 50 years.  It is like Sing panels have true-flat memory!  The Sing panel core is a honeycomb/torsion box foam grid wherein the wood grain is perpendicular to the skin and held together with our patented formaldehyde-free glue.  So, our patented Sing cores are 90 percent air, which does not move, supported by the strongest structure possible.  As such,

High Precision makes true flat Sing cores!

High Precision makes true flat Sing cores!

Sing panels are:

1.  Dimensionally stable with a high precision Sing core tolerance of +/- .006 inch.  This is laser precision which produces the smoothest and most true-flat panels.

2.  Fully insulated in the protection of our patented Sing grid structure for temperature control and sound-deadening qualities.  Sing cores are 3 to 5 times more insulated than solid wood-based door cores.  Note:  Our patented Sing core structure prevents separation of the foam and the skin which preserves the original strength and insulation value.

Lightweight true flat memory!

True flat memory!

3.  Lightweight so that even a 4 inch thick door will weigh only 2 to 3 pounds per square foot. An average wood-core weighs 8 to 10 times more than our patented Sing core.

4.  High strength which has been verified by the University of Washington at above 660 PSI, making our Sing panels pound-for-pound stronger than steel. (You could drive a 12,000-pound forklift with heavy rubber wheels over them without crushing them!)

5.  Water-resistance/waterproof doors made of patented Sing core panels can be completely exposed to the weather without warping. (Click here to see our exterior door gallery.)

Sing core strength!

6.   Eco-friendly and non-toxic structure glue for bonding skins and Sing core.

In summary, patented Sing core not only solves the door-warp problem, but also keeps the finished product high precision true flat, lightweight and high strength,  plus provides great insulation and sound reduction and is eco-friendly.

Door Warp

Door warp is a variation from a plane surface within the door itself. It does not refer to the door in relation to the frame or jamb in which it was hung. Bow, cup, and twist are terms which describe warp in a door and are defined as follows: Bow is a curvature along the door height, or a deviation from a flat plane from end to end. Cup is a curvature across the door width or a deviation from a flat plane from side to side. Twist is a distortion in which one corner is out of the plane of the other three corners. Warp is usually a result of unequal stresses within the door from one face to the other caused by changes in humidity and temperature conditions or uneven conditions from one face to the other. Buildings shall be humidity and temperature controlled before doors are delivered and installed. Required conditions are 25% to 55% relative humidity and 50° to 90° F (10° to 32° C) temperature range. Improper handling, stacking, and storage can also contribute to warp. Doors shall be stored flat on a level surface off the floor with cross supports.

HOW TO MEASURE WARP

Use a taut string or straight-edge and measure on the concave face of door – diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. Measure at the point of maximum distance between the taut string or straight-edge and the face of the door.

Measurement must be made on the concave face of the door. Door shall be open when measuring for warp (lock not latched into strike). One person can measure warp using a string and taping one or both ends onto the face of the door, holding it taut. Don’t measure warp in relationship to the door frame. Often a door may not fit into the frame properly but is not warped. In these cases, check the frame – it must be set plumb and square and jambs must not be twisted or out of alignment. Action on any claim for warp may be deferred for up to one year after project completion to permit doors to acclimate to temperature and humidity conditions.

 

ALLOWABLE WARP TOLERANCE
FOR WOOD DOORS

1-3/4 inch (44 mm) or thicker doors:

  • 3’-6” x 7’-0” (1050 mm x 2100 mm) or smaller, 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) maximum.
  • Larger than 3’-6” x 7’-0” (1050 mm x 2100 mm), 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) maximum in any 3’-6” x 7’-0” (1050 mm x 2100 mm) section.

1-3/8 inch (35 mm) doors:

  • 3’-0” x 7’-0” (900 mm x 2100 mm) or smaller, 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) maximum.
  • Larger sizes not addressed in this standard

Warp-free definition: Doors with patented professional SingCore inside outperform any other Eco-friendly door in the world in terms of being lightweight (SingCore weight is approximately 10 %  of solid wood, timber or plywood core) and high strength (660 PSI+, stronger than steel pound-for-pound). No other door Eco-friendly door made in the USA can reach our high precision (SingCore approximately +/- .006 inch) or flatness (far exceeding door industry allowance for door warp, as seen above). We guarantee no other Eco-friendly, lightweight, high-strength insulated door can compare with any door that has patented professional Sing Core inside. SingCore is raising the standard of what is possible in terms of building large doors that can be true flat and warp-free.

Insulation: Sing Core has built-in insulation value with an R3 to R6.5 rating per inch, depending on client’s needs/specifications.

Sound deadening: Sing Core’s filler material has natural sound-deadening properties. Other sound-deadening options are available at customer request.

Light weight: When compared to other materials Sing Core weighs much less, as much as 50% less, or more, as little as 4 lbs. per sq. ft. yet eco-friendly. This advanced technology used in the aviation industry is now available for use in your home.

Strength: Sing Core based on 2″ x 2″ grids and 3/4″ thick = 660 PSI. For instance, aluminum 3/8″ grids = 30+ PSI (smaller grids should be more strength). Sing Core’s superior strength comes from its advanced torsion box design.

Solid: Sing Core is solid like a rock. While the vertical wood grain torsion box core may be compared to other hollow honeycomb cores, the Sing Core voids are not hollow as they are bonded wall-to-wall and filled with recycled foam for a strong, solid substrate.

Eco-friendly: Sing Core is manufactured using natural wood fibers, no formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals, is created using less energy than any other core material with little or no waste.

Renewable: The structure of Sing Core is 100% renewable (nature-grown) clean fiber and/or recycled material.

Oversize: Sing Core excels in area of large oversize products due to its unique properties and can be up to 50 foot length.

Dimensionally stable: Sing Core is the most dimensionally stable building material allowing us to create large, oversize products (i.e., doors, up to 50 ft.) that are true flat exceeding AWI standards and can be guaranteed to be true flat. Large oversize panels can be truly dimensionally stable without any movement due to temperature and moisture change.

Affordable: Even though Sing Core technology is used in high-end applications, we make it affordable for broad use in a large number of applications. Sing Core performance is comparable to any high-end core but could be as little cost as low-end wood product core.

Waterproof upgrade: Sing Core is available in waterproof upgrade, to accommodate your specific water resistant requirements.

Fire retardant upgrade: When used in fire retardant applications, the Sing Core fire retardant door is the lightweight, super-strong, eco-friendly alternative.

Bullet-proof upgrade: In high-security end products, most cores used in bullet-proof applications are heavy in weight, causing strain on the infrastructure, unlike Sing Core.

Thickness available: Sing Core is readily available in many thicknesses, up to 6 inches in standard thickness, with custom thicknesses available.

Skin options: Available in many different exteriors including (but not limited to) aluminum, cement board, cold roll steel, concrete, ceramic tile, fiber glass, galvanize metal, glass, MDF, metal, plastic, plywood, solid wood, stainless steel, etc…

Easy to machine: Sing Core is easy to work with in the shop or on-site for sawing, sanding, adding solid wood implants, gluing, cutting and fastening.

Fast turnaround: In you’re in a rush, only Sing Core can be custom made within 24 hours and is proudly manufactured for you in the USA.

Solid Wood Stave Door Blanks

Our panels make doors!

Patented Sing Core solid wood stave door blanks feature the newest technology in the door industry for composite doors yielding the only eco-friendly, lightweight, fully insulated, high-strength doors with wood blanks of any size (up to 40 ft.) that can be guaranteed true flat and to stay flat for 50 years.

Large door versus regular-size door challenge (i.e., over 4 feet wide and over 8 feet in length):

Large doors are heavy, dimensionally unstable, require more strength due to the heavy weight, and are a challenge to manufacture, ship and install.  High-end jobs require precision and true flatness to please the customer.  A homeowner’s architect, general contractor and mill worker must solve the problem of warping doors.  The solution to the challenge is to use patented professional true flat Sing panels to make your doors.

Sing Core wood stave door planks are the only solid wood doors that will not warp, bend, twist or cup following installation.  This means no more continuous service calls for maintenance of big doors that cannot possibly stay straight due to the limitations of solid wood – or any other door core – that is subject to failure.  Sing panels have a patented honeycomb/torsion box interior which gives lightweight yet unsurpassed strength (pound-per-pound stronger than steel) and stability to any door, and allows Sing Core to provide a 50-year guarantee

Interior Doors:

Sing panels make amazing designer doors in any style.  With Sing panels, fragile doors such as French doors are made lightweight yet strong, not warping or breaking hinges, which will last for many decades.

Exterior Doors:

Sing panels make sturdy exterior doors in any style.  With Sing panels, exterior doors are lightweight and strong, even when oversized.  Our professional doors are guaranteed to stay true flat and not warp or twist for 50 years

When is a door not a door? When it fails to function as a door.

The problem is that all door core materials are either not high precision, too heavy or will move when exposed to moisture, humidity or change in temperature resulting in door failure.

Heavy solid metal or steel will not warp, bend or twist, but is not high precision due to welding (sing core tolerance is + or –  .006 inch!) and is often impractical due to the overweight issues causing excess strain on both the hardware and structure, causing continued maintenance issues.  The solution is our patented lightweight yet strong Sing core technology.

Finishing a door blank:

There are two types of finish for door blanks:  paint grade and wood grain.  Paint grade includes such finishes as metal, Masonite, marine plywood, etc.  Wood grain finish includes such finish as solid wood stave and thin veneer.

Why Use Solid Wood Instead of Veneer?

solid wood composite door planks any size thickness true flatNever settle for substandard veneer doors again. Door engineers prefer to use inexpensive veneer as opposed to real solid wood facings because veneer is thought to be less likely to warp, bend or twist.  But thanks to the super-strength of patented Sing Core technology, you can use solid wood stave and wood blanks with confidence knowing that your door can be guaranteed true flat and will stay flat.

How can a solid wood-faced door stay true flat? As every woodworker knows, when using a solid wood surface, the grain will move according to moisture or temperature change causing the door to fail. When using our patented Sing Core as a substrate you can safely use solid wood because the solid torsion box/honeycomb patented material is continually keeping the wood grain straight and true.  Whereas wood stave has more wood fiber giving it more of a chance to warp than thin veneer due to the unbalance of the both side of the door moisture contents, patented Sing technology solves this problem by combining stiffing skin on both side of our patented Sing core.  This Sing panel technology eliminates the troublesome movement of the door blank — warping is no longer a concern when wood stave is combined with patented Sing core.

In addition, solid wood is easy to work with, install (no need to hot press), repair and remodel.  That’s why professionals trust Sing Core’s years of expertise in helping to design the only wood stave doors (that look just like solid wood doors) that can stay straight and true for many decades while respectfully honoring the beauty and elegance of solid wood, which far outlasts easily-damaged veneers, yet can be sanded and repaired if necessary.

Celebrate your real wood!

solid wood stave door planks lightweight honeycomb guaranteed 50 yearsOur Eco-friendly lightweight, high strength alternative is the best   solution for combating the issues associated with weight and size,   especially large doors.  Only our patented Sing torsion box/foam   composite core combined with our years of experience provides   guaranteed solutions for oversize doors.

That’s why this technology is found everywhere, from beneath the sea   (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in-between.

Sing panels may be finished in almost any wood species, like   mahogany, redwood, teak wood, cherry wood, walnut wood, cedar   wood, Ipe wood, sapele wood, poplar wood, ebony wood, ash wood,   oak or any other hardwood or exotic wood types available.

This same wood blank composite technology is also a common solution for high-end projects like engineered hardwood flooring, shiplap, wood furniture, wood shelves, decking, shed doors or any other application demanding high precision and exemplary performance over time.

How is wood stave/veneer added to Sing panels?

Wood stave is added directly to the metal or wood skin our patented Sing cores.  Wood veneer is added to an 1/8-inch mdf attached to the metal skin.

With Our Free Consultation, Professional True Flat Doors are Guaranteed Not to Warp for 50 Years!

 

True Flat ChallengeSing-panels-lightweight-high-strength-honeycomb-core

We do not sell finished doors, but provide door planks to door industries and mill workers with patented Sing Core panels to build the most true flat, insulated professional doors in the world guaranteed.

Warping is a challenge for high-end door makers.  However, professional Sing Doors are highly insulated doors that will NOT warp, bend or twist. 

Professional Sing Doors made of patented Sing Core materials and special skin are the only Eco-friendly, lightweight, high-strength, insulated doors that are true flat and will stay true flat for 50 years guaranteed (with our free consultation and an additional cost) regardless of application or size.  Professional Sing doors will remain true flat even if they are garage doorspanel doorssliding doors, carriage doors, or oversized large doors!

True Flat Guarantee premium certified true flatProfessionalSing furniture, such as conference tables, will also remain true flat.  Our guarantee means you do not have to be afraid of warping, bending, twisting or expensive maintenance.

The secret is our patented Sing Panels combined with appropriate skin (even wood), length, thickness and knowledge of years of experience in handling thousands of over-sized, challenging doors (for example see our Warehouse door).  See our coast-to-coast clients list. 

Patented Sing Core panels are about 15% the weight of particleboard, pound per pound stronger than steel and cost less, but more dimensionally stable than any wood core, a great advantage in your factor-in shipping costs.

 This technology has endless applications.  Click here to see how:  Door News Archive

Note:
Only certified-professional (with free consultation) true flat Sing Doors qualify for our 50-year guarantee.  For other true flat doors, we may be able to make them more flat than the industry standard by adding more thickness and strong skin with a proper Sing core in order to build a true straight but less costly door plank. 

Sing Panels are changing the way doors are made.  Any type, style or appearance of any door with any shape, size or number of window-light openings, CNC cut-outs to offset the high labor cost of traditional style and rail doors.  One more reason that Sing doors are making record sales.
