WOOD VENEER DOOR

50-Year No Warp Warranty

Flatness matters in veneered doors and architectural panels. A warped panel can affect appearance, operation, and long-term performance.

Sing Core’s lightweight veneer panel core is backed by a 50-Year No Warp Warranty for qualifying applications. This warranty gives manufacturers, architects, and builders added confidence when designing large doors, wall panels, millwork, and other veneered products that require long-term dimensional stability.

Designed for Hot Press and Cold Press Veneering

Professional veneer manufacturers need a core material that performs well during the pressing process.

Sing Core is a veneer press compatible core material designed for hot press, cold press, and vacuum press applications. It can be supplied with wood skins ready for veneering. This allows manufacturers to keep their current production methods while benefiting from a lighter and more stable panel.

Benefits include:

  • Lightweight finished panels
  • Large panel and door capability
  • Easier handling during production
  • Lower transportation and installation weight
  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Fully insulated panel construction
  • Reduced stress on door hardware
  • Flat and consistent panel surfaces

Why Veneer Manufacturers Choose a Lightweight Veneer Panel Core

As panels get larger, weight becomes a bigger challenge. Heavy panels can be harder to manufacture, transport, install, and support.

A lightweight veneer panel core helps reduce weight while maintaining strength and stability. This allows manufacturers to build larger panels, doors, and architectural components with greater ease.

Reduced weight benefits:

  • Door manufacturers
  • Architectural panel manufacturers
  • Commercial millwork shops
  • Cabinet manufacturers
  • Hospitality projects
  • Retail fixtures
  • Corporate interiors
  • Luxury residential construction

With a lightweight veneer panel core, manufacturers can create larger products that may not be practical with heavier core materials.

Build Larger Veneered Doors

Oversized doors are popular with architects, builders, and designers.

Large pivot doors, sliding doors, bifold doors, and entry doors need a core that is strong, stable, and lightweight.

A veneer press compatible core material helps manufacturers build larger veneered doors with less weight. This can make transportation, installation, and hardware selection easier.

Common applications include:

  • Pivot doors
  • Sliding doors
  • Bifold doors
  • Entry doors
  • Conference room doors
  • Feature wall systems
  • Hospitality doors
  • Commercial interior doors

Improve Flatness and Dimensional Stability of Veneer Press Compatible Core

The quality of a veneered panel starts with the core beneath it.

A stable veneer press compatible core material helps support a flatter finished panel. It can also help reduce movement that may affect appearance over time.

For premium doors, panels, and architectural products, flatness is critical. A lightweight veneer panel core helps manufacturers achieve a clean, professional finish while reducing weight.

Veneer Press Compatible Core

Sing Core can be used with:

  • Natural wood veneer
  • Engineered veneer
  • Reconstituted veneer
  • Rift-cut veneer
  • Quarter-sawn veneer
  • Rotary-cut veneer
  • Decorative laminates
  • High-pressure laminate (HPL)
  • Specialty architectural surfaces

The veneer press compatible core material provides a stable foundation beneath the finished surface. Manufacturers can continue using their preferred veneering process while benefiting from a lightweight and stable core.

Light Weight

SingCore’s panels are some of the lightest in the business. Some clients call our product miraculous. Especially when it comes to extremely large panels, that exceed standard panel sizes, our featherweight construction techniques really shine.

 

1/3rd the Weight of Comparable Wooden Doors

Our door panels or easily one third the weight of a traditional constructed door panel using wood, plywood, or other materials. If you need super light, our aluminum faced panels can grow to almost any size, yet are still stronger than steel by weight.

There are currently no other products on the market that can offer all the same light weight and high strength benefits of a SingCore panel.

Remains Light with Any Skin or Finish

SingCore door and architectural panels can be finished in a variety of skins, while still maintaining the internal strength and straightness of our patented core construction.

Panels can be finished to look like solid wood, with either our wood stave finish or premium wood veneer. We also offer a wide variety of metal skinned doors including: cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, aluminum, and copper.

  • Wood Stave: walnut, oak, mahogany, cedar, fir, and more
  • Wood Veneer: walnut, oak, mahogany, cedar, fir, and more
  • Metal: steel, aluminum, and copper
  • HPL “Formica” – any variety, magnetic whiteboard, chalkboard
  • FRP
  • Plywood – luan, marine, birch
  • Paint grade

Save on Hardware Costs

SingCore panels are particularly useful in situations like huge oversize pivot doors, sliding doors, movable walls, and carriage doors where hardware for heavy doors could be quite expensive. Our panels are amazingly light for their size, and have save many of our clients quite a bit of extra expense by putting the weight of a very large door within the range of weights that can be supported by typical door hardware.

While our panels may not be the cheapest on the market, often time SingCore’s superior technology and craftsmanship can result in a net cost reduction.

Easy to Operate

Our panels have the strength, feel, and sound of a solid panel. But, their light weight nature allows them to be more easily operated, especially in large sizes.

For “moveable wall” type applications, SingCore is hard to beat. Don’t get caught in the trap of constructing a “cheap” stick frame constructed sliding wall, when in reality what you need is a specially constructed door panel. What you save by using two by fours in quickly squandered by excessive hardware costs and results in a poor quality result.

Easy to Handle

SingCore’s extreme light weight construction makes on site handling and transportation a breeze. After you order SingCore, your contractors will ask for sing panels again and again.

Combined with the benefits of weight, SingCore panels can be shipped in segments for joining on site. This can result in tremendous savings in shipping and allows for installation of giant panels of almost any size at any point in the project, even with limited access.
