How to Build the Most Advanced Door in the World

You could be one of the best door builders by outsourcing your OEM non warping door blanks.

Sing Core has served the building industry by providing the only Eco-friendly, insulated non-warp high-strength, lightweight door. Contractors who build Sing Homes (entire homes built of Sing products) want the added strength, stability, insulation and non-warping doors in all egress points for added safety and security.

First, we have to talk about what makes the best door in the world; it has to be:

1 Non Warp

Even the very challenging doors, large doors, sliding doors, pivot doors, all can be warp-free. In fact SingCore creates unfinished premium doors that can be guaranteed for 50 years. The secret of the best door makers in the world is that they can use the Sing solution as their door’s base material to create a warp-free door, which is the best solution to the problem of warping doors, especially large doors which would otherwise be extremely prone to warp.

2 Lightweight, high strength, insulated and Eco friendly

The strongest lightweight door in the world is made with Sing Core inside. This revolutionary Eco-friendly building material is based on patented technology that is the best of old wood craftsmen’s technology (torsion box) and new composite technology (recycled rigid foam insulation) fused with advanced adhesives and enhanced with patent pending non-warp stiffeners. The result is an extremely lightweight panel that can span distances without deflection that has not been accomplished before in any affordable manner.

3 Easy to Install

Even the largest strongest sound deadening door can be installed in half an hour. This 500 pound Sing pivot door panel measures 10 ft. tall x 12 ft. wide x 3.5 inch thick and took less than half an hour to install in the Seattle Center for Architecture and Design.

Then, we will explain how to build the perfect door, step-by-step, showing the pictures of the entire process (even the most complicated French door, sliding door, pivot door, exterior door, etc…) with all types of skins/surface material.

Professional Sing Sandwich

Professional Sing Sandwich Panel

The Professional Sing Sandwich panel starts as a 4 ft x 8 ft Sing “sandwiched” panel. Professional Sing Sandwich panels are guaranteed not to warp for 50 years.

If you are an architect, general contractor or home owner and expect a non-warp guarantee from the door manufacturers (especially the very large and expensive doors) you would be very hard-pressed to come to an adequate warranty arrangement with either a door manufacturer or millwork because large doors and doors made of exotic woods are prone to fail; that is, unless the door is made with Professional Sing Sandwich inside. This is how we help to make the best doors in the world that can be guaranteed not to warp for 50 years.

Professional Sing Sandwich panels do not have a solid wood edge. For embedded solid wood edging, see: Professional Sing Panel. Just like it’s name Sandwich means professional patented Sing Core is “sandwiched” between two skins. This creates the best non-warp, lightweight, high strength panel material for superior construction. Standard Sing Sandwich continues to break all records for flatness but it will move if the skin is made of porous materials (non metal or plastic). In the event one side is exposed to excessive moisture or temperature then it could cause warping if the panel is very thin. If you have high expectations for non warping (which most of the high end large doors have problems with) Professional Sing Sandwich is the only insulated sandwich panel that warps less than any known core material. All Sing customers are happy with what we deliver when using the Professional Sing Sandwich panel to build their non warping doors, which is changing the previously known idea that all the large doors in North America warp due to the change of the seasons. The secret inside the best non-warping doors is the Professional Sing Core which keeps the Professional Sing Sandwich panel flat from our factory to its destination and stay flat for 50 years with structural integrity guaranteed.

A Professional Sing Sandwich panel consists of a substrate of 1 inch patented Sing Core^® torsion box reinforced insulated substrate with special patent pending Sing stiffeners sandwiched between two ¼ inch sheets of plywood, resulting in the most Eco-friendly lightweight and high-strength (660 PSI, stronger than steel pound-for-pound) non-warp material. The Professional Sing Sandwich panel is the basis of many applications spanning a multitude of industries.

Professional Sing Sandwich panels have no solid wood edge. For embedded solid wood edging, see: Professional Sing Panel.

Standard Professional Sing Sandwich

The Professional Sing Sandwich panel takes the standard Sing Sandwich panel to a new level of high precision and increased performance. The Standard Professional Sing Sandwich panel comes in standard 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 1.5 in. size that can be cut, ripped or sawn into any shape, size or thickness in your wood working shop (no special tools required).

Standard skin = 1/4 inch plywood Option = Marine-grade plywood

Available in any thickneess from half-inch to 6 inch.

Standard Professional Sing Sandwich panels are specially re-enforced for increased performance by our team of experienced professionals with an acute sense of composite technologies to create a professional panel that will have the structural integrity to far exceed performance standards deemed “acceptable” by the trade industry.

The Professional Sing Sandwich panel is available only to trade professionals, includes embedded stiffeners and is cold-press-ready or available as paint grade or with natural wood stave surfaces. For hot-press-ready see Hot-Press-Ready Sing Panel.

Case Study

Large Midwest door manufacturer regularly caters to high end clients seeking doors that are larger than normal size.

Problem: It’s just a matter of time before these large doors fail due to warp.

Solution: Door manufacturer uses Professional Sing Sandwich to use as substrate in their doors to prevent warp.

Details: Midwest large door manufacturer stocks Professional Sing Sandwich panels in convenient door blank sizes 4 x 8, 4 x 10, 4 x 12, 5 x 8, 5 x 10 and 5 x 12. These panels are cut to size and used as substrate inside their custom door frames, skinned and finished in house solving their large door problem; now they can warranty their own large doors to never warp again.

What is Standard Professional Sing Sandwich designed for?

To keep panels and beams perfectly straight, lightweight with high strength to the very extreme. Almost no other door core material (such as balsa wood, LVL core, composite lumber, solid wood core, plastic core, aluminum core, paper core, cardboard core) could match the performance. Other cores do not have all the features of Professional Sing Sandwich panel, such as being fully insulated up to R-5.7 per inch, true flat / non warp, strong and light weight yet Eco-friendly.

Which industries use Standard Professional Sing Sandwich?

The majority of Professional Sing Sandwich panels are sold to high end mill works and door manufacturers to build very large doors such as pivot doors, sliding doors, entrance doors, French doors, etc… If the door builder has a problem for keeping the door from warping, lightweight and super-strong? Professional Sing Sandwich is the answer for use as a fully insulated door plank, door substrate, door core and/or door panel.

Custom Professional Sing Sandwich Panel

Available with all the options available in the classic Sing Sandwich, the Custom Professional edition has even more strength, integrity and ability to span distances with little or no support and little if any whatsoever.

Custom Professional Sing Sandwich panels are available in any size, any thickness i.e., large oversize panels or planks, posts and beams, with any of the following custom options.

OEM Door Original Equipment Manufacturer

Sing Core inside

Sing Core is in the unique position to partner with the designers, architects, custom millworks, builders and installers of the best doors in the world. What do the best high precision, lightweight, high strength, guaranteed warp-free doors in the world have in common? The best ones have Sing Core™ inside. See: Clients list

In this respect, Sing Core is an important OEM supplier likened to Briggs & Stratton, BBS Wheels, Johnson Controls, Lear, Delphi, TRW, Intel and AMD. These companies, like Sing Core, do not manufacture the end product but supply the product manufacturers with the quality components that enable their clients to deliver superior results to their customers without having to create separate production facilities for building specialized parts.

Even though Sing Core does not build doors, our OEM door blanks help the best door manufacturers create the best doors that are built to last for centuries and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend twist or otherwise fail for a full 50 years for their intended (designed and built) use.

How Does the Sing OEM Process Work?

Establishing the Need of Sing Core

There are many reasons that door manufacturers seek out patented Sing Core as their OEM door substrate; some of the most popular ones are:

Creating a Superior Door Line

Some door manufacturers are looking for ways to distinguish themselves from other door manufacturers. They seek out an OEM relationship with Sing Core to design and build an ultra premium line of doors that have unique characteristics that cannot be found by using any other door substrate material.

BIG Door

Many door manufacturers have problems with large doors (especially over 7 ft. tall) in that while they look magnificent upon installation, dealing with door warp on a regular basis is a constant maintenance cost associated with big doors.

This is where Sing Core door substrates shine because the substructure of the core itself is a combination of wood torsion box (using vertical grain matrix framing) filled with recycled rigid foam creates a lightweight, high strength solid substrate that will retain its original shape and structural integrity over time; higher precision and lasts longer than any other known door building material.

That’s why more and more, you are finding Sing Core™ inside some of the biggest aircraft hangar doors, large sliding barn doors, factory doors, large commercial doors, warehouse doors and large garage doors.

Non-warp Door

Sing Core™ is the only door core material that enables our door manufacturers to deliver doors that do not warp regardless of size or external materials in either interior and/or exterior doors, if they are designed by our Non-warp True Flat Specialists. Sing Non-warping door blanks are available in any type, style, shape, exterior skin and/or composite configuration.

Insulated Door

Insulated doors offer enhanced separation between two areas separated by an opening, doorway or egress point. Sing Core insulation starts at R3.5 per inch and goes up from there, based on architectural specifications. Insulated door are of primary interest to architects, designers and engineers seeking soundproof door, hurricane doors* or other weatherproof door where an insulated door is specified.

Security Doors

Sing Core is of primary importance in security doors of substantial size. Large security doors are difficult to manage normally due to weight; this problem can be solved with the Sing solution. A security door can be used in a variety of circumstances and applications including impact doors, and bulletproof doors.

Using Sing Core™ inside, impact resistant doors don’t have to be heavy weight, which causes unnecessary stress and strain on both the hardware and structure, while delivering all the security desired including increased privacy due to innate door insulation.

Specialty Doors

Sometimes a custom door manufacturer, millwork or door manufacturer faces a job that requires doors with unique attributes to accommodate a particular usage following installation.

Specialty doors may need particular characteristics to meet the requirements of the end user. Architects, designers and engineers can use Eco-friendly Sing Core™ inside to have greater control over:

Weight
Strength
Insulation
Structure Non-warping
Sound deadening
Impact resistance
Waterproof Any size
Any style
Any performance
Any exterior surface

How to Build a Sing Door

Some individuals can be confused when they visit Sing Core and expect to just buy a pre-hung door that is the best door in the world, only to find that Sing Core does not actually make the door. Sing Doors are made of Sing Core, although we only supply the pre-configured base door material to achieve the results sought by the most demanding clients in the world.

Standard Size Sing Door Blanks

By popular demand SingCore introduces patented door core in economical and easy-to-use standard door width door blanks.

How does it Work?

In the real world, an architect, engineer, designer or the client conceives of the concept of their desired door. In many cases the high concept doors are problematic; some of them are large doors, which tend to fail due to their enormous size, while others may feature exotic materials that are susceptible to warp. Sing Core has the technology to create a lightweight substructure that is stronger than steel pound-for-pound and can be structurally guaranteed for 50 years under normal designed and manufactured use.

It might be helpful, for you to follow us on a journey through the making of a Sing Door.

A Day in the Life of a Sing Door

1 STARTS WITH THE DESIGN

The first step is the idea of the door, that beyond conceptual design is reduced to its most simplest form: The height, width, thickness of the door and the exterior material that is to be featured on the exposed surface(s) of the door.

2 SUBMIT TO SING CORE

The idea is then submitted via trade professional (possessing wholesale privileges) via our online quote request. The doors’ specifications are reviewed by our Non-warp True Flat Specialists, who can help determine what materials will be used inside the door to achieve the results expected by the end user.

If the client’s expectations include trouble-free high performance over a long life, the resulting design will be given special treatment resulting in a professional door base.

3 CREATION OF BASE DOOR

The resulting specifications are sent to Sing Core’s factory to custom assemble all the substructure components and composite materials necessary to achieve the results sought by the client.

This includes interior framing, insertion of Sing’s patented torsion box core material, solid inserts, lock blocks, fusion of other inner and surface materials plus any specified lite cutouts for installation of glass windows.

4 DOOR FINISHING

After the Sing Core factory has created the base door (door blank) it is sent to the door finisher; this could be a door manufacturer, custom millwork, industrial engineers or high end craftsperson specializing in ornate doors for elite consumers.

The door finisher applies the final finish to the door (trimming, edge routing, painting or other finish treatment), drilling, preparing the finished door for hardware and will likely install the glass (if specified, though sometimes this is done on site depending on the project).

The door finisher may (or may not) pre-hang the door (install all hardware and attach frame).

5 DOOR INSTALLATIONS

Then the door is packed up and sent to the job site, where the attending licensed contractor installs the final door.

Sing Crowd Manufacturing

In this sense, each and every Sing Door is a crowd manufactured project; it is a cooperative effort of many individuals from concept-to-installation, without whom no Sing Door would ever be made.

So, How Can I Get a Sing Door?

The process is simple; if you are a door company or qualify for a wholesale account, you deal directly with us, otherwise, you must seek out a professional anywhere within the Sing chain who will contact us and deal with us directly and they will partner with us by submitting your request to make sure you get the best door in the world custom-designed for the high performance that you demand.

If you are seeking out a Sing Door, we know who you are; you desire only the very best and will not settle for less and we are proud to be the only door partner in the world who can help to make you a door of any size using any material and meeting or exceeding your expectations, guaranteed.

How to Save Electricity via Temperature Control for Energy Conservation

In this day and age, the energy consumption of available resources creates an ever increasing demand. To accommodate the requirements of individuals seeking to power basic creature comforts including heating when cold and cooling when hot presents two distinct problems.

On the one hand, the wealthy are not considerate of their energy consumption, so on hot days they can keep their entire large home maintained at 40 degrees inside. This creates a drain on the energy supply, but the homeowner with a higher standard of living is not concerned with the cost of the average of 15 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity.

On the other hand, individuals with moderate or low income have other issues. Certainly everyone should be able to maintain a certain level of comfort when it is hot or cold outside, but the cost of electricity is a real concern for the less fortunate energy consumers; they may only be able to enjoy an inside temperature of 75 degrees when it is 90-100 degrees outside, and they may only be able to maintain cooling in one room or area within their home.

In fact, in the impoverished senior population, death from heat stroke – from not being able to afford adequate cooling for temperature control within their living environment – is a real concern in America. That is why it is important to have a variety of energy conservation techniques to fall back on in case of either an energy supply shortage, or in an effort to reduce energy consumption or deal with the rising cost of electricity.

How to Save Electricity

Energy conservation enthusiasts take turns at attempting to create new alternatives for addressing the heating and cooling drain on our energy systems as well as alternative approaches and other ways to save energy as we move throughout the various seasons of the year.

One energy engineer from the University of Oregon has taken a proactive approach to how to save electricity in remodeling his own home that sets a good example for responsible heating and cooling control. Architect Professor G. Z. (Charlie) Brown has reconfigured his home to command complete control of the temperature maintenance of each individual zone within his home.

A home owner can divide his home into independent zones, each with its own independent heating and/or cooling apparatuses (standard portable heating and cooling devices (portable air conditioners) are readily available via big box and hardware stores) for greater temperature control with insulated temporary walls (with man doors for egress).

When Brown sought to cordon off specific portions of his home to maintain separate zones, he chose to seek out the Sing Sandwich panel to create a series of insulated sliding walls to maintain separation and climate control within his own home. Unique properties of the patented Sing Sandwich includes an ergonomic natural wood vertical grain torsion box matrix where the voids are filled wall to wall with rigid foam insulation creating an insulated substrate that is strong and lightweight.

Sing Sandwich Insulated Walls

There is another approach – using the very same material that is readily available via your local Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse Pro Desk – that does not require a high level of architectural expertise and is a simple DIY approach for the average do-it-yourselfer.

Insulated Sing Sandwich temporary wall panels are available in 8 ft tall, 4 ft wide and inch-and-a-half thickness. By simply standing up these wall panels end to end, anyone could cordon off a separate living area within a larger vacant area for maintaining better climate control. The walls have an R value of R5.25 while being lightweight and stronger than steel (660 PSI) making the Sing Sandwich panel the perfect affordable solution for creating a manageable space separation.

For instance, one value and ecologically-minded individual with a master bedroom size of 26.6 x 17.6 in a home with central heating (controlled by a single thermostat) was able to reduce their winter heating costs by $220 per month by simply creating a separate insulated room within the larger master bedroom to manage the heating costs in the colder seasonal months.

The free-standing 9 x 10 room-within-a-room concept is empowering people to enjoy saving energy (and making their heating and cooling expenses more affordable).

House Within a House

In Brooklyn, New York a couple of artists have built a pair of tiny houses inside their open loft area. They rent them for $2310 per month each. They have the advantage of being in an excellent location within the heart of Brooklyn within walking distance of just about everything and a scenic view of the Manhattan skyline.

In fact, the New York area is the primary location of people seeking out ways to divide living spaces (this loft area is an excellent example) by using insulated Sing Sandwich panels to create separate rooms not just for energy savings but to make separate private living areas for roommates who share a common area.

Currently a trend throughout the greater New York area, it is expected that the Sing insulated, lightweight-high-strength room divider solution will continue to spread across the United States and into other countries, where space and energy are at a premium.

As energy gets more expensive and as income medians continue to plummet, insulated Sing Sandwich temporary wall panels used as room dividers continue to be one of the best ways to conserve energy and help mitigate the damages facing people trying to maintain a safe and secure quality of life on a budget.

Viva Zone Control!

For Government Consideration

It’s time for a change of lifestyle by public and school education

The U.S. Department of Energy should function as the leader in the world to change the culture-of-lifestyle approach toward energy consumption. Instead of recklessly chasing the American Dream – i.e., more highways, cars and trucks instead of more responsible railways and public transportation, and living in a 3000 sq. ft. average sized home – we all could do this together and it would be great if the DOE could help us all create and maintain a better world.

Insulated Plywood

Sing Sandwich and Sing Panel are the world’s most advanced rigid insulation panel system utilizing patented Sing Core as the insulated reinforced torsion box structure which is the green building solution that is lighter in weight and stronger than steel (660 PSI) pound-for-pound.

Thermal Insulation R Value

Customers using Sing insulated plywood get to choose the R value that best suits their application. Standard rigid insulation R value is 3.5 per inch but can be upgraded to R 6.5 per inch. You determine the degree of thermal insulation required by your project, then customize your Sing panel’s thickness to achieve the results you desire based on your specifications.

Insulated Wall Panels

Sing Insulated plywood comes pre-constructed to be used as free standing insulated walls right out of the box. In many cases, builders who embrace Eco-friendly insulated Sing technology take full advantage of the natural reinforced torsion box structure to build structures that are completely frameless.

That’s right; Sing Panels are so strong that you can build enormous structures without the need for complicated framing structures, because the structure is built into the rigid insulated panels themselves making Sing Core’s insulated plywood one of the most advanced insulation materials that is expanding the imaginations of architects and engineers all around the world.

Insulation for Walls

Certainly, there is no need to use additional insulation if you’re building your structure with Sing insulated plywood exclusively; but if you are shearing up the thermal insulation of a pre-existing structure, then Sing’s rigid insulation solution is right on track for a fast, long lasting solution for quickly and easily adding both strength and insulation in one easy step.

That’s why Sing insulated plywood is a highly sought after material for insulating and reinforcing basements and attics giving the designer or do-it-yourselfer 100 percent control over the wall insulation value and installing insulated interior wall panels has never been easier.

Insulation Boards

Because Sing insulated plywood can be custom specified, many builders are choosing to have their rigis Sing insulation materials pre-configured into insulation boards in 16” x 24” or 24” x 96” sizes to accommodate their building styles, increasing production time, dimensional stability and longevity over time.

One nice thing about Sing’s rigid insulation board, is that you can have them any way you want them; any length, any width, any thickness and more amazingly – Any Available Surface Material – for the most versatile insulated wall board available.
