Large Sliding Doors

If you’re looking for the best large sliding door, you’ve come to the right place. Sing Core specializes in creating the ultimate sliding door experience. We manufacture the only door substrate that you can use to create the most extraordinary doors in the world.

The above picture is a demonstration of Sing Core’s strength.  Two 8’x9′ oak doors (approx. 800 lbs.) laying on top of two 7’x8′ curved doors.  The curved doors had no visible movement due to the high strength of Sing Core. As you can see, the eye plate is so small but can support such a large door panel.

 

These three curved panels measure 7’x8′ and are built to the highest precision and strength to last a lifetime.

 

Here is another example of a curved door with a smaller radius built with the exact same expertise.

 

Sliding Doors
The deal with sliding doors is that you want your sliding doors to remain straight and true throughout their service life. Architects, designers and end users face the issues associated with sliding doors, but rest easy knowing your sliding door has Sing Core inside.

Problems with Sliding Doors
The first problem with sliding doors is that they tend to move (warp, bend, twist or cup) compromising the doors’ performance. Especially in the case of sliding doors because they hang parallel to a wall (like sliding barn doors), next to another door (such as double sliding doors) or within a wall (like sliding pocket doors). If the door does not stay straight, it can wreck either the sliding doors or the surfaces they slide against, or both.

One way to overcome the warpage issue is to utilize stronger materials which tends to greatly increase the weight. The downside is that increasing the doors’ weight creates another set of challenge. For example, heavier doors require heavy duty hinges to support the doors. Heavier doors also require more labor for handling, installation, and any servicing it may require.

 

As you can see, this massive door is 8’x9′ and remains perfectly straight.  So straight, in fact, that it is perfectly freestanding on end!  If there was even the slightest amount of warpage, then this door would topple over.

 

Sliding Door Design Problems Solved
Architects and engineers are constantly perplexed with the problems associated with sliding doors, fortunately an Eco-friendly composite solution made in the USA, helps to solve the problems associated with faulty sliding door design. Patented Sing Core, along with their true flat door team, can help to create sliding doors that will remain straight and true far beyond the service life of any other sliding doors. By working with Sing Core’s design staff a combination of Sing Core and patent-pending sliding door stiffening solutions can create perfect sliding doors that are lightweight, high strength and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup or otherwise fail for 50 years.

These oak doors are manufactured with the highest precision.  As you can see, there is no gap between the two oak doors.  If they were slightly warped, or a little uneven, there would be a gap showing, possibly more.

The Perfect Large Sliding Doors
The best custom door manufacturers and millworks who offer long warranties on their large doors have a secret inside each one of their high end professional sliding doors: Sing Core inside. A properly designed and built large sliding door with patented professional Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

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.

Lightweight Wood

The strongest, lightest weight wood-based building material in the world is lightweight wood with Sing Core inside. Now, that’s a bold statement, but one that proves to be true time and time again across the board in all industries.

Inventor Peter Sing using combinations of his patented and patent pending lightweight wood manufacturing technologies can create lightweight wood structural building materials which are hybrid and composite materials which expand the realm among contemporary architectural projects in America and around the world.

Available in any format, such as panel, post, and beam, Sing lightweight wood products are lighter than other wood-based building materials (one-third the weight or less, depending on the specifications) and stronger than steel (University independently tested at 660+ PSI) without compromising the highest precision (+/- .006 in.) tolerances.

This is why Sing’s lightweight wood is used to build large high-tech modern doors from military installations as well as featured installations in the most expensive homes of billionaires worldwide.

Sing’s special brand of large lightweight wood doors are impacting the doors industry in a huge way especially in the area of the oversized door market. Big doors make a massive impact on people as they encounter such large doors, such as an enormous pivot front door, which seems to leave the most lasting impression.

While contemporary architecture is more commonly moving toward bold designs, the limitations of available building material can be problematic when designers, engineers, and contractors are tasked with bringing such visionary projects to life.

For instance, as every major door manufacturer in the world knows, if a wood door is over 7 feet tall and three-and-a-half feet wide, you are looking for trouble, because not long after installation (while the grand opening may unfurl flawlessly) those bid doors are going to warp.

That’s where Sing’s core comes into play to literally save the day.

Solution to the Large Warped Door Problem

The biggest and best door companies in the world rely on Sing’s lightweight wood doors to deal with the complications presented in all large doors of any size or style, whether it’s a tall, skinny door at NASA, or a huge 40 ft. tall sliding door in a military installation, Sing’s patented lightweight wood technologies can create the largest doors which can be

GUARANTEED for 50 YEARS

Not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail.

If it’s the first time you’ve heard of it, it sounds too incredible to be true, but large lightweight wood doors with Sing’s core inside are actually guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years. Until now, such a guarantee was unheard of in the door industry.

The Secret of Building Warp-free Lightweight Wood Doors

The secret of building warp-free lightweight wood doors is found inside Sing’s patented reinforced torsion box core material, which is similar (and inspired by) the various honeycomb cores used in the aerospace industry where he became aware of the limitations of traditional honeycomb core materials.

His unique composite hybrid warp-free solution is the key to making what has been referred to by the most high-profile door manufacturers in the world as the key ingredient in the world’s best doors.

How to Build Sing Core

First off, you start with a torsion box grid structure, only instead of orienting the grain of the wood torsion box horizontally, as you normally would, you turn it, so the grain is vertical instead. Vertical grain torsion box grids are many times stronger than horizonal grain. This single improvement was the beginning of the answer to building a better honeycomb substructure material.

But Sing didn’t stop there because the inside of each box was empty, so he decided to add rigid foam to fill the empty voids. Sandwich this hybrid torsion box core between to flat sheet goods, and there you have it: Sing Core. And Mr. Sing has complete control of the size of the reinforced torsion box grid, so to increase the strength, he can make the grid size smaller, as little as 2-inch by 2-inch squares for super strength Sing Core, the lightest and strongest substrate in the world.

But, that’s not all.

Wood Species and Warp Tendencies

Every wood species has its own unique tendencies to warp, so Sing devised an entirely new system of enhancing his Sing Core substrate with strategically placed anti-warp materials which counteracts the natural inclination of each wood species to move.

In this way, each custom door that Sing’s company helps to design and build to deliver warp-free high-performance over a 50-year service life (even though, as inventor/president says, “Each door is built to last centuries, but I guarantee it for 50 years.”) is an individual work of art.

Not Limited to Large Lightweight Wood Doors

The very same patented sing technologies that goes into each of their lightweight wood doors can be applied to doors made of nearly any available flat building material. A few examples would include

 

Aluminum Doors Brass Doors
Cement Doors Concrete Doors
Cold Rolled Steel Doors Diamond Plate Steel Doors
Fiberglass Doors FRP Doors
Galvanized Steel Doors Hot Rolled Steel Doors
HPL Doors Kevlar Doors
Lead Doors Lexan Doors
Magnetic Doors Masonite Doors
Metal Doors Rare Species Wood Doors
Stainless Steel Doors Steel Doors

Any of the doors listed above could be made lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound with Sing Core inside.

 

Not Limited to Doors

While the veracity of this invention has been proven and withstood the test of time in the large oversized door marketplace, Sing’s lightweight high strength core technology translates to any project where size, weight, and strength might present problems in any design.

You might be surprised to find that entire homes have been built entirely of Sing Core products.

Aerospace Panels Broadcast Stations
Clean Rooms Cold Storage Rooms
Equipment Enclosures Furniture
Hurricane Panels* Impact Resistant Walls
Insulated Flooring Systems Kitchen Islands
Large Conference Room Tables Marine Bulkheads
Mezzanine Floors Museum Displays
Recording Studios Signboards
Solar Panels Sound Isolation Booths
Submarine Panels Temporary Portable Garages
Theater Walls Trade Show Booths
X-ray Systems

In other words, the possible applications for Sing Core are almost limitless. So if you’re having issues and challenges associated with weight and dimensional stability, there’s a good chance that Sing Core may be the answer you’re looking for.
