Made in the USA
Sing Core is committed to our strict US made pledge.
All Sing Core products are made in the USA using locally-sourced materials using sustainably honorable low energy creation processes with very little waste, and no toxic chemicals or manufacturing methods.
Many architects, designers and builders are also committed to doing their best to buy American seeking what is made in the usa.
In a time when many of the components that we use in construction and manufacturing in the Unites States are imported from offshore sources due simply to the reduced cost.
For instance, in the United States the average manufacturing job hourly rate of pay is $34.74, in comparison to China’s $1.36 per hour and even less in India (according to the BLS) making it extremely difficult not to be seduced by offshore’s cheaper materials.
According to Sing Core inventor, Peter Sing, “It is difficult to compete with imports, but we know that people want high quality and something that will last for lifetimes; not like disposable cheap imports.” Yet, many Sing Core products are actually exported outside the USA.
Given a choice between a product made in the U.S. and an identical one made abroad, 78 percent of Americans would rather buy the American product, according to a new nationally representative survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.
In these tough economic times, Americans are starting to join the Made in the USA movement. American businesses and the US citizenry are making it a point to demand American made products and materials.
“We are committed to bringing pride back to the phrase, ‘Made in America’,” says Sing. There was a time when ‘American made’ was synonymous with high quality, “and we’re putting America back to work, starting right here…” and empowering other Americans to join our growing number of crowdsourcing manufacturers.
We are seeing a grass roots revolution in American made manufacturing. As jobs are on the decline, we are seeing individuals with basic woodworking skills and craftsmen taking charge of their economic destinies by birthing bootstrap operations. “We’re helping people start their own manufacturing facilities at home,” and all you need is as little room as a single car garage to start.
There is a huge movement to manufacture green, sustainable building materials and products locally.
Imagine being able to get locally made building products or furniture with Sing Core as the base, making your American Made end products not only Made in the USA, but also green and sustainable, making the world a better place.
Sing Core has created a ripple effect that affects the local economy and grows to affect the national economy as they create jobs including supporting local drivers, shipping and packaging companies, as well as helping craftspeople replace lost income due to downsizing, or our declining fiscal outlook.
In a time when just one full-time income-earning American supports five other jobs in the United States, Sing Core is recycling an economic impact through our economy and creating more jobs for Americans
About Us
1-1 About Sing Core
We humbly agree with industry professionals that we build the best doors, walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, carriage doors and tiny houses.
The truth is that we supply the unfinished components to the artists, designers, manufacturers, builders and craftspeople that make our product look so good. While Sing Core is associated with the most beautiful and ornate end products it is the artist who makes us look so good when our applications are revealed.
We supply the core material that makes the high performance of the end product possible by providing the artist with an Eco-friendly, lightweight base that is high-strength on which to build their creations resulting in dreams being realized.
In this regard, Sing Core is more comparable to a plywood manufacturer that supplies a craftsman with the raw materials necessary to create their works of art.
Except for a few items that we sell retail, our function is in the wholesale delivery of this high performance material directly to the millworks and manufacturers.
On vary rare occasions we cooperate directly with an end-user for a highly customized one-of-a-kind creation/solution but this is extremely rare and costly.

1-2 About the Inventor
When Peter Sing was a teenager, he learned about the properties of the honeycomb structure from the aluminum honeycomb used in aircraft. It was very lightweight and high strength material but was expensive to produce because of the energy consumed in the manufacturing process. Peter worked to invent a honeycomb material that used renewable resources and a low-energy process to produce a low-cost, high-strength honeycomb building material. This is how a life time of invention started – and now, after 30+ US and International patents, SingCore Honeycomb Products have become the best combination of natural materials and human ingenuity you will find on the market today.
Wood is next to earthen material as the most commonly used building material on our planet. Grown naturally for millions of years, humans started to use wood in the construction of their shelters after they moved out of caves. For thousands of years our ancestors cut natural wood to build furniture and construct shelters. Later, engineered wood products started to replace solid wood: laminated wood, plywood, chipboard, OSB (oriented strand board), and the list goes on.
The invention of the Sing Honeycomb process is based on very simple idea: it takes less wood fiber to provide the same strength as solid wood, and with a better insulation value. Imagine taking 100% of the wood fiber out of the solid wood and reintegrating 10% of that wood fiber into vertically structured foam arranged in geometric shapes. The honeycomb core material is made of thin wood veneer, which is the main component of plywood, surrounding an insulated and sound-deadening foam base material. The implanted vertical grain veneer is composed of high strength wood fiber . This unique torsion box technology yields the strongest, lightest weight, fully insulated for block heat and sound low-cost, long lasting material ever created with natural materials.
Helping the homeless
When Peter Sing thought of the invention of Sing Core, he also put the homeless in mind. With help, Sing Core can help homeless families by providing tiny house kits to help these families with privacy and shelter in their hard times.

1-3 Sing Core vs. Other Cores
Compared to other material Sing Core is possibly the most significant Eco-friendly, renewable structural advancement in the last century increasing the strength and reducing the weight of any solid structural material. 
The invention of Sing Core is a hybrid technology fusing the positive attributes of Balsa wood (only 8% of natural wood fiber) and foam core (recycled) into the revolutionary new building material that is changing the way construction impacts our world. When compared to solid material, Sing Core:
- uses less solid material
- environmentally sound
- structurally stronger
- lasts longer
- less expensive than most solid material
- easier to work with

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.
Even though Sing Core is less expensive than most solid material, the end result is more structurally sound, lightweight, will not compromise over time and reduces the amount of man-hours and equipment to install. Sing Core is a honeycomb sandwich panel composite material with built in structural grids. Sing Core could have the exterior surface skin of any material including, but not limited to wood (seen in photo), metal, plastic, glass, Kevlar, even concrete and cement. The strength of our design is due to the structural grids made of naturally abundant, renewable, vertical grain veneer wood fiber. Sing Core is constructed in a fashion similar to torsion box technology most commonly found in the aeronautics and space exploration industries. This technology is what allows our panels remain strong, lightweight, and flat without denting, cracking, and warping. See a comparison here. Inventor Peter Sing uses this torsion box technology, along with wood fiber and foam to create patented Sing honeycomb core: the incredibly strong, true flat, lightweight, renewable composite material of the future. Check out our products section to see a few different applications. Engineering Myth-busters
- Heavy is not equivalent to strong
- Lightweight is not equivalent to weak
- Expensive material does not ensure high function
- Solid material is overused and not ecologically responsible
Most construction is a waste of materials, natural resources and has a negative impact on our planet. Solid materials are overused in an attempt to increase the strength or lifespan of the project. This excess of materials and resources is not necessary… and can be likened to killing a fly with a machine gun. It may be hard to believe, at first, but for the first time in our history, a truly responsible structural alternative can be found in Sing Core technology. Many of our clients were skeptical when they queried us about our lightweight and strong solutions to their design challenges. That is why Sing Core is the secret ingredient found in the homes, offices, estates and showrooms of royalty, political and religious high-end environments. Once you try the Sing Core alternative, you will never go back to traditional building materials in some cases. Traditional honeycomb panels have come to the rescue addressing the lightweight needs of industry. Sing Core is compatible to (if not well out-performing) most honeycomb technology in terms of weight, but no other honeycomb core can compare to Sing Core in terms of strength. None. Before today, you did not know about Sing Core’s environmentally responsible solutions to function and sustainability. Now that you do, what will you do with that knowledge? Take the Sing Core challenge.
1-4 Environment & Energy Friendly
How is Sing Honeycomb “Green”
1 Sing Core – the most earth-friendly way to use natural renewable materials Sing Honeycomb core structure is made of 100% natural vertical grain wood veneer. This is what sets us apart from our counterparts who use honeycomb core materials such as paper, particle board, aluminum, and plastic. Here at Sing Honeycomb, environmentally friendly construction is our mission.
2 LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Sing Honeycomb strives for a “cradle to grave” measurement of a product’s environmental impact from raw material extraction and manufacturing through distribution, use, maintenance and disposal. An obvious example is a coffee cup made of styrofoam compared to a coffee cup made of the same material but enclosed in a solid container. Solo cups are only used once and then disposed of, filling our landfills unnecessarily. But imagine that the same Solo cup material is put made into a permanent coffee cup that could last ten years without being replaced. Sing Honeycomb protects the foam by sandwiching it inside a durable wood framework. LCA studies show that using wood is less harmful to the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, global warming potential, air emissions, water emissions, and solid waste production.
3 Long Lasting Sing torsion-box sandwich panels are warranted for ten years*, but may last much longer. This means Sing products will not need replacement or disposal for many years, cutting down on the resources used to manufacture panels. The foam used in Sing Honeycomb Core Panels comes with a 20-year thermal performance warranty, dimensional stability, compressive strength, and water resistant properties. See instructions for repair and recycling.
4 Energy Friendly Energy Saving in general: Our Sing Honeycomb Core starts from raw material, production process, shipping and product lifespan, and the recycle/reuse are the major energy savings characteristics. Sing products has set a new bench-mark for energy savings and is less harmful to the environment than other honeycomb products. Sing core is the most energy friendly, covers more broad-range products in modern time today, all guaranteed by the inventor and founder of Sing Core. Energy Saving as insulation Insulated, draft-free sandwich panels save your heating costs Sing has a long term stable R-Value. Sing Sandwich panels assemble and install quickly, saving you man power and time.
5 Leading edge of composite technology Composite material is a feature of energy solutions to solve our structure needs. Patented Sing Core is the leader of composite material products. Sing Core takes less energy to produce the strongest, lightweight material. Whether the product is called a torsion box in the wood-working industry, a honeycomb panels in the aviation industry or a sandwich panel in the building industry, it’s all the same thing and they all function in the same way – it’s a composite material sandwiched with a lightweight core. There are many different core materials such as paper, aluminum even plastic honeycomb, but our Sing Honeycomb is a torsion box or sandwich core structured with a vertical grain core that takes less energy to produce from renewable resource to our finished honeycomb core that we’re proud to say is strongest, lightest weight core that is the most environmentally friendly composite product ever invented.
6 Recycled Our foam core has a recycled content of 20% and is 100% recyclable.

Sing Door Core
Applications -> Building Components -> Doors -> Sing Door Core
What is Sing Door Core?
- It is the patented foundation of all Sing Doors
- May be the core of true green revolution, if you believe in
- the renewable structure of Sing Door Core
- saving energy
- lightweight
- high-strength
- affordable
Sing Core is based on torsion box technology that has been used in the wood working trade for thousands of years, and is often compared to lightweight core, honeycomb core and other composite building materials in the industry. It is also compared to SIP (structural insulated panels) with the exception that structural insulated panels actually do not have the structural grids that are necessary for strength, making SIP less than 10% the strength of Sing Core.
- dimension: 12 inch x 48 inch to 4 ft x 8 ft
- thickness from 1/2 inch to 6 inch.
See More information on: Sing Core
Compare to Other Types of Door Core
Paper Door Core
The most popular core material used in retail doors is paper core also known as cardboard core and honeycomb core. The most attractive feature of paper core is that it is light weight, nearly as lightweight as hollow core, with very little added strength. These lightweight doors are often used in apartment buildings and housing units because they are lightweight and less likely to injure children in door-related accidents. The downside is that there is no structural integrity and it is not long before the door fails due to warp, bend or twist. Paper core doors also have no insulative or sound-deadening qualities and are fairly easy to damage as it does not take much to puncture, crack or break a paper core door.
Foam Door Core
The next most popular core used in retail doors is foam core. While still yielding a lightweight door, much like the paper core, it also does not have any strength. Foam has a very low compression strength (+/- 10 PSI) resulting in high failure rates, and will not remain straight as the only strength in the foam core door is provided by the exterior skin material. To achieve strength, more heavy material must be added to the surface of the door, cancelling out the lightweightedness of the door. While a stronger foam core door may be extremely heavy due to reinforcement, the foam will offer some insulative value and limited sound deadening.
Particle Board Door Core
Particle board is the third-most popular core used in retail doors. Customer seeking a higher quality door than paper or foam core are often persuaded to purchase the particle board core door because it appears to be a real door, especially when compared to the lighter weight doors on the sales floor. The heaviness of the door implies that the door has strength in comparison to the less expensive paper or foam core doors; only much heavier, particle board doors do not offer much additional strength, and commonly fail over time (though it is harder to punch-through a particle board door than a paper or foam core door).
LVL Door Core
LVL door core is a reasonable solution for door core, as it consists of multiple layers of veneer bonded together to make a solid core material. The problems that result from LVL come from resulting in an extremely heavy door that will not survive changing temperatures very well over time. Though it does have some warp and twist resistance, failure is experience in the long term effects that lead to delamination. Once the lamination in the door’s interior begins to fail, the door will not function properly and may become unsightly.
Solid Wood Door Core
Solid wood core is expensive because it uses a large amount of precious natural resources and for traditional enthusiasts it is sought out for the sake of originality and/or trueness to nature, though it is not a responsible use of natural resources. Solid wood doors have no insulation or sound deadening qualities are heavy and have little or no structural integrity due to the nature of the characteristics of the natural grain. The solid wood doors often fail due to bend, warp, twist and will not be able to secure properly.
Balsa Wood Core
There are several advantages to using balsa wood as door core. Balsa wood is an excellent alternative to other types of core, because it is a natural organic product, but the problem is that it is in short supply making it a more expensive resource and does not fare well when exposed to water (acting like a sponge soaking up water and moisture). Also, since it is a natural wood grain source material, it is prone to warp, bend and twist, just like any other natural wood fiber door core.
Plastic Core
Plastic door core is a good upgrade from paper core in that it is still lightweight, is resistant to moisture but doesn’t offer any other benefits over paper core except for a minor increase of strength. Plastic core is still weak/unstable, non-insulated and can be damaged or will fail easily within a short lifespan.
