Concession Trailers Food Carts Coffee Kiosks Espresso Stands

Lowes Home Improvement Sing Core pre built torsion box panels Pro Desk

Sing Sandwich

Sing Core is the perfect material to build the best concession trailers, food carts, coffee kiosks and espresso stands. The lightweight, high strength characteristics of Sing Core has been established as the best new building material in the world used in applications from beneath the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between.

Sing tiny houses on wheels excel over other building methods because you can tow a bigger unit at a fraction of the weight, plus you can design and build without framing just by connecting pre-insulated lightweight Sing Sandwich panels that are stronger than steel pound-for-pound.

DIY Concession Trailers

Our avid do-it-yourselfers are getting our inexpensive Sing Sandwich panels from their local Lowe’s Pro Desk. Building their concession trailers with patented Sing Core gives you all the structure and insulation you could possibly want at a fraction of the weight. A Sing food trailer can be built on a more inexpensive lightweight trailer for a lightweight mobile kitchen on wheels with little effort for the person who is somewhat creative with rudimentary building skills.

Your homemade food concession trailers can be used as BBQ concession trailers, ice cream carts, taco carts, coffee carts, food truck trailers or virtually any type of vending trailers available.

Commercial Concession Trailers

8 x 12 Drive Thru Kiosk

Sing Core does not design or manufacture concession trailers, but we do supply the best concession trailer manufacturers with our insulated lightweight high strength material for building custom concession trailers to their client’s specifications.

Contact your favorite concession trailer manufacturer and tell them that you want your next concession trailer built using patented Sing Core for the lightest weight insulated concession trailer that is stronger than steel.

Espresso Stands Coffee Kiosks

Increasingly espresso stands and coffee kiosks are being build using patented Sing Core. It stands to reason due to the popularity of this revolutionary new building material being used throughout the tiny house and emergency shelter industry.

8 x 10 Drive Thru Kiosk

Mobile espresso stands can easily be built atop a trailer for easy towing from location to location, as well as the smaller coffee kiosks which can easily be loaded onto the back of a pickup truck.

Modular Retail Vendor Kiosks

Using our high tech T Slot Panels, you can create any kiosk configuration for your retail kiosks with modular panels in minutes.

Helping the Homeless

Inventor Peter Sing has always had compassion for the homeless and using his patented Sing Core to help make the world a better place.

When he sees people suffering, he envisions Sing Core as the best solution for creating harmony amongst all peoples.

While his products are used regularly by America’s elite (see recent Guggenheim installation) he believes it to be the simplest and most effective solution for homelessness.

The very same technology used to create instantly reconfigurable space in the Rumney Guggenheim Gallery in Brooklyn, New York could be used to add privacy, safety, security and reduce heating and cooling costs for the homeless.

Sing’s patented Eco-friendly panels are insulated (with sound dampening characteristics) lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.

Two years ago, Mr. Sing launched a campaign to offer his Smallest House in the World to address the homeless in search of an insulated liveable instant structure that could be heated with the heat generated by candlelight at a discount price.

This year, the inventor of Sing Core is already being moved to a compassionate expedition to further help the homeless. These photos include temporary housing facilities that attempt to accommodate large numbers of people in large empty spaces.

These spaces are not dissimilar to the wide open empty space of the Guggenheim Gallery. Just as effective as transforming the space into a beautiful gallery, Sing’s insulated Sandwich Panels (available via Lowe’s Pro Desk) could be used to offer homeless individuals and families reconfigurable private quarters being housed in large spaces.

It is bad enough not to be able to sleep in your own home, but to have to have to live without any privacy in a large group environment adds insult to injury; and could be considered borderline inhumane.

Sing believes that his insulated panels are the answer. This year he is moved to help by offering special discounts to homeless shelters and has even launched a Go Fund Me campaign to offer tiny house kits for donation in an effort to help with the homeless situation in the USA.

Rumney Guggenheim Gallery in Brooklyn New York

Not strangers to supporting the greater artists’ community with lightweight, high strength Sing Panels for use as art canvases of a rather large size, Sing Core was called upon by the designers of the Rumney Guggenheim Gallery in Brooklyn, New York to overcome some of the challenges due to weight and size ratios throughout the renovation of the former Williamsburg Bank building located at 834 Driggs Avenue.

The race was on for Santiago Rumney Guggenheim (great-grandson of legendary arts patron Peggy Guggenheim) to rehab the former bank building built in 1875, transforming it into a luxurious gallery to showcase exclusive works of art in Brooklyn by the October 8, 2015 opening night debut.

Sing Core was honored to solve the architectural problems associated with size vs. weight and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

Amongst the art that was introduced on opening night, we were quite impressed with The Little House exhibit by Moral Turgeman, a 20 x 24 piece of work that takes our tiny house concept to a whole new level, leaving art enthusiasts breathless at the mirrored surfaces and offering a unique experience for attendees to explore Turgeman’s visionary interpretation from the inside out.

Inventor Peter Sing is a fan of neon lights; and it was an honor to see Olivia Steele’s neon art in full regalia on Rumney Guggenheim’s menu opening night. As a matter of fact once piece by Olivia Steele was nearly a tribute to Sing’s Sing Core entitiled, “Heart Core.”

Transforming the Space

To make Guggenheim’s dream of having an elegant place to bring works of art to New York, he had to re-create the wide open pallet of the bank building into an almost liquid piece of art itself.

The answer to having space that could change shape and form on-demand included Sing’s lightweight Museum Panels that can be moved, connected and slide-mounted. Using Sing’s cam-lock assembly method, panels can be linked together to make any size wall, and due to the light weight and high strength, an enormous space, like Guggenheim’s gallery, can be completely designed and redesigned on-the-fly with very little labor involved.

Every Sing Museum Panel in the Guggenheim Gallery served up art on its walls like a silver platter.

Showcasing the art on inventor Peter Sing’s works of art was the perfect solution for architect Rita Eng AIA of David Scott Parker Architects who was in charge of the former bank building’s metamorphosis into the evolving art gallery.

Sing’s museum panels are built to last for centuries, are the strongest, lightweight and eco-friendly wall panels ever invented; only Sing’s panels are non-warping and can be guaranteed true flat for 50 years, which is by far the best warranty.

Unique T Slot Modular Building Characteristics

Unlike other portable buildings, Sing T Slot Modular Buildings are

Insulated

Sing T Slot Modular Building panels come standard with R 6.25 insulation, but could be upgraded to meet your architectural specifications. This insulation provides temperature separation preserving the interior of the structure environmentally protected from the exterior conditions (a huge advantage in extreme conditions, like on scientific expeditions on the polar caps).

Sound Deadening

Increasing the quality of the intended use of your modular buildings, it is a huge added benefit to enjoy the sound deadening qualities of Sing T Slot Panels further providing separation from the modular building’s exterior for added convenience, privacy and peace of mind no matter where your modular building is located, whether it is amidst heavy air traffic or an in plant office in a noisy factory.

Lightweight

Sing T Slot Panel Modular Buildings weigh a fraction of the weight of other solid core structures because of the patented torsion-box/foam-insulation composite structure of Sing Core.

High Strength

4 x 4 T Slot Modular Ticket Booth

High precision Sing Core is the strongest interior structure base material that enables panels to span large distances with very little (if any) additional supporting structure with little or no deflection. Only the patented torsion box composite substrate could accomplish the feats attributed with this newly invented building material.

How Strong is Sing Core? It was independently tested by the University of Washington at 660 PSI (that’s stronger than steel pound for pound); well over 6 times the strength of other composite materials used in the aerospace industry.

Long Lasting

When you’re making a substantial investment in insulated modular buildings, they need to be durable, especially if they are to be assembled, disassembled, transported, stored and reconfigured repeatedly. Your Sing T Slot Modular Building can be guaranteed to last for 50 years without fail, and you will always be able to get additional components to add to your structural components as your need for portable buildings and/or shelters increases.

Isn’t it time that you made a major improvement upgrade in your modular buildings?

Man Door Access Doors

About Man Doors

Man doors are doors within doors. For instance, you can have a large sliding door, say 14 ft tall and 20 ft wide. You might not want to slide that big door back and forth every time you access the space. No problem. Just install a separate egress point (a man door) inside that large oversized door and you have simple method or entering and exiting the space without having to articulate the mother door.

Man doors can be tricky because the host door (which can be very large, potentially up to 40 ft or more) must be built with very high structural integrity so as to accommodate the regular and potentially heavy use of the man door.

That’s why the world’s best large doors with man doors are made with Sing Core, because using Sing Core is the only way to build such a door which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail, and you need this high precision dimensional stability to accomplish such a feat, over time.

That’s why inventor Peter Sing guarantees his warp-free large door solution to remain warp-free for 50 years. No other lightweight, fully insulated, sound deadening and climate control large door in the world can make such a claim. Not only is Sing Core the best way to do it, it is the only way to do it.

Metal-Sliding Hot Rolled Steel Metal Door-Man Door

A Man Door is a man-sized access door that is pre-built ~ or after market modified ~ in a larger door to provide access of an individual without having to open the entire large door, exposing the entire area. Man Doors are also referred to as pedestrian doors, pass doors and/or access doors. Man doors are one of the absolute best ways possible to add additional functionality and character to your high end residential and commercial locations. What’s more, you can order your man door in any skin, even metal skins, like hot rolled and cold rolled steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, and copper.

Sing Man Doors

Large extreme edge pivot swing doors with man door Center for Architecture Design Seattle singcore — Large extreme edge pivot doors with man door

Sing Core makes the best man doors. Why? Because our Eco-friendly high-precision lightweight and high strength core material allows door manufacturers to create doors of enormous size while keeping them straight and true. So perfectly straight and true, in fact, that Sing Core offers a free large door consultation that can result in a professional large door that can be guaranteed true flat and to remain true flat for 50 years.

When you have a super large door (could be as big as a hangar door) in many cases you don’t want to open the entire door area just to access the space. That’s where the Sing Man Door comes in. There’s no doubt that Sing Core is the go to source for insulated large doors of any size that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

It is quite common for someone who seeks out the services of Sing Core to request that a large oversize door come with an access door that allows egress without having to unsecure the entire big door area. In most cases Sing Man Doors are simply Sing Metal Doors incorporated into the design of the original oversized door.

Very few companies can compete with Sing Core when it comes to man doors, because of the extremely high precision, strength, and lightweight characteristics required in making a man door suitable for use for decades to come. Our Professional Man Doors come with our 50 Year Warp Free Guarantee and are 100% made in USA using materials sourced from USA. We pride ourselves on making the best man doors in the business.

Large doors with articulating access panels are common, and are increasing in popularity amongst garage door companies who use Sing Core as their substrate material for their large garage doors.

Man Doors can be includes in all types of doors, including (but not limited to) large sliding doors, overhead doors, large pivot doors, large swing doors, large carriage doors, and more…

Maybe it’s time you thought about having pedestrian access via a specially designed pedestrian door to be used as a pass door allowing access to your space in a smart, more economical and secure fashion.
