Shaking Up Metal Fabrication to its Core

Red-Hot-Lightweight-Aluminum-PanelsSing Core’s Metal Fabrication Department is shaking up the industry!

Our new applications are changing how to fabricate metal panels: Don’t’ Get Framed!  One of our clients, I-5 Designs, has us expanding our capabilities to meet the increased demand for the longest, most beautiful aluminum panels that are eco-friendly, lightweight and stronger than steel.

Traditional metal fabricated panels expend excessive energy in their creation, using aluminum framing and the result is a panel that looks acceptable but has no strength.

This is extremely advantageous when maintaining structural integrity over long spans… Check out this page on our web site: . You will see these 37 foot long beautiful ruby red aluminum panels that we are so proud of. Lightweight, eco-friendly, superior strength and gorgeous; you must see it to believe it.

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.

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.

Characteristics

Green Characteristics

1) Our environmentally friendly honeycomb structure is made of 100% vertical grain wood veneer. This is the foundation for the strength of our panels. The close up image of the vertical grain wood veneer material is what makes up our honeycomb core.

Honeycomb Core – This is the strongest, lightweight, affordable, earth-friendly honeycomb core ever invented. Sing wood veneer honeycomb core takes less energy to produce than other honeycomb cores such as aluminum, plastic, and paper.

 

2) Rot Resistant – Sing Panels and Beams are rot resistant even with ground contact. They can withstand extreme moisture and humidity. Sing Panels and Beams are also able to withstand extreme dryness and heat.

 watertight panel

3) High Strength – Sing Panels are the strongest and stiffest insulated wood panels in the world. The strength of Sing Panels is unmatched.

Sing Honeycomb Core Concrete home building system. It is the strongest lightweight insulated low cost home in the world—-We prove our claim by the picture below and to the right. $1000.00 dollar reward if you can prove otherwise.

Pictured to the right is a one ton truck on a piece of 1/4″ inch thick Hardy Plank wrapped around our Honeycomb core. it does not crack under the pressure of a 1 ton truck. This is the future economical, concrete home structure. The picture is proof. Can you drive a 1 ton truck over a conventional frame home wall without it cracking??

 

  1. Sing honeycomb core structure materials are made of 100 % natural wood veneer. A similar engineered wood product is paper honeycomb. The honeycomb structure in this material is made of paper. Paper requires more energy and chemicals to produce.  Paper honeycomb requires chemicals to breakdown the wood fiber and requires energy for the drying process to produce the paper.
  2. Sing honeycomb is the strongest lightweight material available at a low cost. We can be found at the top of Google’s image search under the search phrase “Lightweight, high strength, low cost. High strength means a longer life span for the product. Sing honeycomb will last many times longer than paper honeycomb. Furniture that is built to last will not end up at the landfill.
  3. You can have your choice of the type of foam you will use for insulation and sound deadening properties. The choices of foam we have are urethane foam, recycled EPS foam, phonolic foam, or soy based urethane foam.
  4. Sing honeycomb is easy to machine and can be cut just like solid wood. It does not require a special saw or a smooth cutting surface.
  5. Sing honeycomb panels make it easy to apply edge banding. Any edge banding machine and regular cutting tools can be used to apply the most beautiful edge.
  6. Sing Honeycomb works just like paper honeycomb and uses solid wood for fastening hardware, but has much stronger mechanical bonding than paper honeycomb. It is made of solid wood veneer instead of paper. Paper honeycomb loses its strength as moisture content increases. Sing honeycomb can be exposed to the rain and sun in a wet climate such as Washington for 3 years and will remain structurally solid, when paper honeycomb would only last a matter of days.

Paper Honeycomb

The picture above shows a 2 inch paper honeycomb panel failing.

Super Honeycomb

The above picture shows a 1 3/4 inch Sing Wood Veneer Honeycomb panel with a heavy load resting on the top.

4) Flat and Straight – Sing Panels and beams are manufactured to be the most flat and straight. When force is applied to a panel its performance is measured in stiffness and deflection (How much it bends.) Sing Panels stiffness and deflection properties exceeds current panel manufacturing requirements for performance.

 

5) Lightweight – Sing Super Honeycomb Panels and Beams are the lightest and strongest, earth friendly, affordable, honeycomb structures on the Market.

 

Lightweight Beam

6) Sound Deadening Properties – Sing insulated wood panels offer unsurpassed sound deadening properties. This ensures that you can enjoy the quiet solitude of your home or cabin. Experience the quiet, calm in your home even during a storm with Sing Insulated Paneling.

Sing Panel Technical FAQ

Are Sing Panels like other honeycomb core panels?

Only in appearance.

Other honeycomb panels use a grid system, but those grids are typically left empty. Sing Panels use a vertical wood grain torsion box to form the internal grid structure. The internal voids are bonded and filled wall to wall with resilient recycled foam. Multiple foam options are available to meet your specifications.


What is the R-value of Sing Panels?

EPS foam: 3.5 per inch
Urethane foam: 5.7 per inch


How strong are Sing Panels?

Very strong. Sing Panels are among the strongest affordable lightweight building materials.

They have been independently tested by the University of Washington to exceed 660 PSI and can be custom designed to achieve over 1,000 PSI per your specifications.


Do Sing Panels have solid wood edges?

Yes. Sing Panels feature solid wood or other solid material edges.

The wood edge is visible between the exterior surfaces, or skins, along the panel perimeter. Edge banding is available at an additional charge. If solid edges are not required, Sing Sandwich panels may be considered.


What surface materials are available for Sing Panels?

Sing Panels are available in a wide range of flat exterior surface materials. Availability is limited by material sourcing.


What thicknesses are available?

Custom thicknesses are available to meet your specifications, up to 12 inches and beyond.


How large can Sing Panels be made?

Sing Panels can be manufactured in custom dimensions, up to 22 ft. by 40 ft. or larger.


Are Sing Panels weather resistant?

Sing Panels are lightweight, high strength, and weather resistant to the degree allowed by the selected surface material.

Sing Panels can be manufactured to withstand extreme weather conditions and are used in underwater applications. Please consult with SingCore sales staff prior to ordering waterproof Sing Panels.


Can other materials be bonded to the surface of Sing Panels?

Yes. Many high-end millwork shops bond additional surface materials to Sing Panels when used as a substrate.

If you plan to laminate other materials to Sing Panels, please consult with SingCore first to maintain warranty eligibility.


Can Sing Panels be hot pressed?

Yes. Sing Panels can be hot pressed.

When using wood veneer, some warping may occur. SingCore recommends adding a thin layer of aluminum between the core and the skin.
