Sing Core for Sound Isolation

Why Do You Need Sound Isolation?

Sound isolation is an important feature for many applications, primarily those where a room or area needs to be absolutely silent, with no background noise from the nearby areas. Sound studios, recording booths, conference rooms, and more often require or are greatly enhanced with sound isolation. In addition, if your home or business is near a busy street, having a properly designed door with sound reduction in mind can greatly reduce street noise.

Sound Reduction vs Sound Deadening

When it comes to eliminating noise, there are two main “strengths” to consider: sound reduction and sound deadening. Sound reduction is often sufficient for places like conference rooms, businesses, and other applications where you want to limit the sound that passes in or out of the area. Sound deadening is a more effective form of sound reduction, where the incoming and outgoing sound waves are stopped almost entirely. This is ideal for sound studios and recording booths, as well as other scenarios in which you want to eliminate as much background noise as possible. The difference in achieving these techniques is relatively the same, however, as it merely comes down to the thickness of both the barrier and the insulation inside.

How Sing Core Does Sound Isolation

Sing Core door and wall panels are excellent for sound isolation. Our standard panels are fit with high end insulation and leave zero voids, meaning our normal product provides basic sound reduction. Enhanced reduction, all the way up to sound deadening properties can be achieved by simply increasing the thickness of your requested Sing Core panel. No matter the thickness, we fit our panels with insulation from top to bottom, front to back, that way you can be confident that you’re getting a solid, sound reducing, and heat insulated door or wall panel.

In addition to studio-grade sound reduction, Sing Core panels are also incredibly strong, durable, and lightweight. Our patented and patent-pending designs are light enough to be easily moved, installed, and operated in comparison to the other options, as well as being stronger than steel. Our panels are also incredibly durable, and won’t need replaced merely because they got bumped into. We use high quality skin options including wood staves, vinyl, and others to ensure you get a beautiful and long lasting look to your door.

Watch this quick video to hear the difference when using Sing Core panels for sound deadening!

50 Year Guarantee

Not only are Sing Core panels perfect for your sound isolation project, you can also remain confident in them for decades with our 50 Year Warp Free and Structural Guarantee. Whether you’re building a pivot door, sliding door, or any other type of door, you need to ensure it does not warp. Even a minimally warped core can compromise the entire function of the door, sometimes preventing it from closing or sealing, making it difficult to open and close, and many other complications from just the one defect. Our panels are made to never warp, and we give you 50 years worth of promise in that.

Use Sing Core for your studio, conference room, or any other instance where sound reduction or deadening would benefit you!

The Strength of Sing Core

Industry Leading Strength

We often mention Sing Core’s incredible strength and durability when talking about our door and wall panels, and we’re confident in that statement. As a customer, though, we understand that you may want more than just a promise in that regard, especially since our industry leading door and wall panels are so lightweight, they seem like they just can’t be as strong as the other options. Read on to find out why we beat out not only the competition, but full metal doors, as well.

What Makes Sing Core so Strong?

This is due to a few factors, the top of which being our patented honeycomb core that we use in almost all of our products. This wood and insulated core is designed in such a way that is incredibly strong, despite weighing a fraction of the other options. The interwoven lengths of wood provide a rigid structure that won’t bend, warp, or break. Plus, our doors are stronger pound-for-pound than steel. Then, our high quality insulation eliminates voids and protects against the harsh cold, sealing the warm air inside your home and helping to reduce your heating expenses.

While our honeycomb core is where the magic happens, we also laminate our panels with high quality wood to seal the core and add additional rigidity. By sandwiching our core between two high quality hardwood boards, we add another dimension of strength to our product. In addition, this provides impact resistance, as we don’t use cheap lumber like some of the other mainstream options. Overall, this provides a door or wall panel that can withstand tremendous force while still being so lightweight that it can often be lifted by one hand.

What are Some Other Benefits?

Sing Core panels receive other benefits from the strength of our cores, such as being 100% warp free. Due to our panel’s design, our products are guaranteed to never warp, and are protected by a 50 Year Structural Guarantee. If a door warps, many aspects of it and its function are lost or altered. For example, it may not latch properly, may form a gap, may distort the skin/finish on the door, may not open or close properly, and more. In addition to not warping, our doors are also incredibly impact and weather resistant. Kicking in one of our doors is more likely to break your foot than the door itself, and bumps, dings, and other forms of impacts won’t ruin or break through the outer panel. If, for some reason, your door does end up getting damaged, Sing Core panels are very easy to repair and return to full strength.

Why Should You Trust Us?

If we weren’t confident in the strength, durability, and integrity of our product, we wouldn’t offer a 50 Year Structural Guarantee. No matter what happens, if your door fails in any of the ways that we promise it won’t, we’ve got you covered. 50 years of promise means that we’re certain our door and wall panels won’t fail within that time, and even beyond.

Sing Core Update

We produce patented and patent-pending door blanks for high end door manufacturers and mill works in the industry.
Sing Core door blanks are most popularly used for large sliding doors, pocket doors, pivot doors, hinge doors, and carriage doors. Most commonly we create door blanks for doors that are 8 ft. to 20 ft. tall, and range from 4 ft. to 25 ft. wide.

On average, how much do Sing Core panels weigh?
approximately 2-3 lbs. per square foot. If you double the thickness, you quadruple the strength while increasing the weight by only 5-10%.

How straight is a Sing Core panel really?
We guarantee the same or better than the AWI standard. We are always able to achieve the most dimensionally stable reinforced insulated panel than any other door core. This includes very large and thin doors which pose the most challenge to remain straight. Only our patented and patent-pending technology is able to achieve this. If other door manufacturers are unable to guarantee your doors, please contact us. We will be able to ensure your doors will be straight before we even produce it for you. We are the most experienced non-warp, high strength, and lightweight door panel manufacturer in the world.

What kind of skins do you offer?
The most popular skins we offer include veneer, wood stave, metal, MDF/paintgrade, or marine plywood for exterior applications.

What type of style or design door can you make with Sing Core?
You can add trim or moulding to create a design or can use a CNC machine to carve any design you can imagine, from classic 6 panel styles to complex artistic designs with or without light openings. The possible designs are endless, but Sing Core creates the strongest lightweight and non-warping door panels in the industry. Every door comes guaranteed by inventor Peter Sing.

What type of home uses Sing Core door panels?
Our door panels are used in a wide variety of applications, but most commonly in high-end luxury homes; homes over 8 million dollars for our extremely large door panels.

What type of trade professionals does Sing Core service?
Architects for luxury homes, high-end millworks, nationwide high-end door manufacturers, and general contractors with access to a millwork. We do not sell our products to home owners.

What’s new besides providing the best large door blanks?
We are starting to build standard sized unfinished door blanks for door manufacturers for them to build affordable high-end stile and rail doors. We have been producing MDF skinned paintgrade door blanks in large quantities. Our production line is capable of building hundreds of standard door blanks per day. If interested, send us a schedule of the doors for your project and we will be able to make your door panels at an affordable price; including your large doors. We don’t and are not capable to build doors, we just supply the most straight, non-warping, high strength, lightweight door panel for door manufacturers or millworks to build the highest quality doors at an affordable price.

Who does Sing Core sell their products to?
Most Sing Core door panels are sold because they are specified by high-end architects while designing their multi-million dollar projects or by top millwork companies building high-end doors for very demanding luxury homes. Luxury homes often require large doors for various applications in the home; Sing Core large door panels could be used for sliding doors, pocket doors, or pivot doors that need high precision, high-strength, lightweight, and non-warping door cores.

A millwork company that has been using our patented door technology for over 10 years told us, ‘We have not had any issues with our doors since switching to Sing Core.’ Before, even if they are the top door company in the USA, oftentimes they would face recalls which is their worst nightmare. With our Sing Core innovations and revolutionary technology, we can offer the only 50 year guarantee in the door industry. They love our 50 year guarantee, as most manufacturers in the industry only offer 1 year guarantee or no guarantee at all. Call us if you would like to have that peace of mind. We provide the best door panels and peace of mind in the high-end large door industry.

We also work with general contractors to provide Sing Core unfinished door panels to their designated millwork to properly finish their doors.

We do not sell finished doors. We do not sell our door panels or substrates to people outside of the building industry’s door designers and manufacturers. We do not sell to homeowners or door distributors.

Architects Love Sing Core
Architects spec Sing Core in their huge doors because they trust Sing Core to provide the high-precision, lightweight and dimensional stability, which makes them look good when it comes to these oversized egress points, building credibility with their clients. They know there is no known door construction method that can accomplish such a feat.

Let us know if you are interested to learn how to build any style or design of door with Sing Core panels using a CNC machine subcontractor. You can find CNC subcontractors by searching the internet with phrases like “CNC wood co-op” or “CNC wood shop for rent.” You can find CNC shops to be rented if you are or know a CNC operator. See picture of possible doors you could build by using other wood working machines and talents.

Besides very large doors, standard doors in large quantity, Sing Core technology proves to be useful for all different industries. Click here to see the endless applications of patented and patent pending Sing Core.

High-end doors are often sold for tens of thousands of dollars and should last a lifetime. Door companies usually do not offer any guarantees for doors over 10 ft., the most they offer could be 1 year only. Sing Core will provide a written guarantee for 50 years. This is why Sing Core is recommended by our fellow door manufacturers to use our products. Let your friends and associates know that we are ready to service your needs if you are looking for peace of mind for any large door project you may have.

Sing Core is the best lightweight, high strength, non-warping material. Our product uses our patented and patent-pending technology to solve the issues associated with high-end large doors; not only in the US but in the worldwide – especially Europe. Often times, when a customer is building a $10 million and up house and use other door technologies, they tend to warp over time. This same customer then comes to Sing Core to solve their problems. No one else can create a door like this that can remain straight, and we guarantee it for 50 years.

When talking to a door company you have to ask questions like, “What is your guarantee against warping?” or “How long is your guarantee?”

Warping is the biggest issue in large doors besides weight issues or insufficient strength.

Often times you find out that the other doors companies do not offer guarantees for doors over 10 ft. and sometimes they have an issue guaranteeing doors that are less than 10 ft. The best guarantee they may offer is for only one year.

Lets say you have a $15-25 million dollar home and the doors are only guaranteed for one year. If you have problems with them and call the company after one year they will tell you that you no longer have any guarantee.

Do you want to deal with that kind of door or do you want to rest easy with Sing Core?

We guarantee our doors for 50 years. If the door does not last 50 years, then why would you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars for doors that aren’t reliable?

Sing Core has a deal with most high-end door companies in the US.

Our performance shows. We haven’t had a single door fail.

When a door fails, everyone panics; from the architect to the millwork to the general contractor and especially the high-end clientele. ‘It’s not just about the money, but the reputation.’

At Sing Core, we keep your reputation. No body else in the world can the issues with large doors.

You are a high-end professional, you do not want people to call you and complain that their doors have failed. We know how you can panic if a high-end customer complains. We can help you sleep better by avoiding the trouble a head of time.

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.
