What is True Flat?

The challenge for high end door makers – especially wood-based large doors – is true flat. Even the best millworks in the world are looking for solutions primary concerns are raised when an oversized large door is made of a beautiful exotic wood. A door like this can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Sing core door is the only company that can guarantee true flatness in writing. See a clients list of Sing Core.

Sing Core’s true flat definition exceeds the Architectural Woodwork Institute industry standard or ¼ inch deflection to be considered flat. All Sing Core products are imbued with this superior degree of flatness which is considered to be, “true flat.”

Sing Core’s true flat guarantee is available in all products that have been designed and built for specific environmental and performance standards as specified by the Architect or client. This proprietary technology ensures a specific degree of true flatness based on science that takes into consideration the height, width, thickness, skin material(s), exposure and stress.

One of the challenges in building any wood product of any dimension where the customer desires a perfectly flat surface over long spans is insurmountable in many circumstances.

True flat technology is based on expertise in building any panel that can be guaranteed true flat and stay flat. This composite science includes the proper proportions of Sing Core, aluminum and/or other materials and bonding agents based on your requirements or specifications. In this way each Sing door is a work of art.

This is the proven niche specialty service provided by Sing Core to the World’s most high-end, demanding, high-profile millworks and end users for years. Due to the unique properties of the patented Sing Core material, true flat designs can come to life and deliver superior satisfaction while carrying a 10 year structural guarantee.

The True Flat Challenge

The true flat door is a challenge for architects, door manufacturer, millworks and general contractors, especially if the door is 1 inch thick (or more), over 8 feet wide and/or 16+ feet tall.

Aluminum composites are common in the aerospace industry, but are cost prohibitive and not user-friendly for mill working or broad earth-bound use. Sing Core is designed to be used in millworks and does not require any specially-trained labor or specialized equipment; treat it just like you would any other standard wood-based substrate material.

Sing Core’s true flat process utilizes vertical grain torsion-box/foam-core/aluminum composites to deliver the solution. Contact us for more information, and if you like, we will show you how to integrate this new technology into your operation.

Meeting the Highest Demands

We maintain the highest degrees of integrity when meeting the requirements of our clients, and their customers, assuring complete satisfaction. Most importantly, proper communication is the key. If you have certain expectations – and you let us know – our team can deliver the product that matches your specifications.

Simply by providing us with your dimensional requirements:

height
width
thickness

along with what your preference for visual presentation (exterior skin material) and performance expectations are, we can provide you with the solution to best suit your application.

How Much Does Our True Flat Guarantee Cost?

All certified, professional Sing Products are guaranteed true flat, that means that they exceed the AWI standards for flatness, but if the specifications for your project or application requires a specific degree of flatness, Sing Core has the technology to meet the demands of the most demanding clients.

The cost is dependent on the requirements of the resulting engineered panel that meets or exceeds your expectations and can be guaranteed to meet your performance standards over time. No two true flat solutions are identical, and the price may vary according to resource and budget constraints.

Some of the materials used in our true flat composite resolutions that battle the temperature and moisture weaknesses that accompany utilizing natural components (like wood) include

Our lifetime of experience dedicated to solving the challenges of architects, designers and craftsmen who serve the most prestigious clientele, especially in terms of sustainable, lightweight, super strong and true flat solutions that maintain structural integrity over many years, while retaining the beauty and elegance of natural wood (or any other desired external material).

Metal is used across many industries. Metal honeycomb composite is the leader in honeycomb cores used to create stronger and lighter metal panels as well as posts and beams using much less solid metal.

Sing core is the leading technology of metal honeycomb composite material that solves our future Eco-friendly energy solution by using Sing metal honeycomb composite at a fraction of the weight of solid steel, but is stronger, lightweight, and available in steel plate, steel beam and steel panels.

Warp Challenge

Warpage is usually a result of unequal stresses within the door caused by different humidity and temperature conditions from one face or side to the other. Buildings should be humidity and temperature controlled before doors are delivered and installed. Required conditions are 25% to 55% relative humidity and 50º to 90º F (10º to 32º C) temperature range. Improper handling, stacking and storage can also contribute to warpage. Doors should be stored flat on a level surface off the floor with three cross supports.

Disclaimer

All certified, professional Sing products manufactured by Sing Core are true flat. That means that they all exceed AWI standards for flatness. Some products may not maintain flatness if they are not used in the application for which they were designed and manufactured.

Example: A wood door that was designed as an interior closet door, will not perform well if installed as an exterior boat cabin door. While it may perform well upon installation, even though the door still exceeds AWI standards, it may fail and would void the Limited Lifetime Warranty if not used in the manner for which the door was designed. A door manufactured to the performance standards of an exterior marine door could be guaranteed, and would likely require additional materials, options and labor to meet the specifications and naturally would cost more than a closet door.

Suggestion: Specify your performance standards, just like our Architects do, and we can manufacture any Sing product guaranteed to meet or exceed your requirements, if possible.

Pre-built Torsion Box for High-end Craftsmen

Imagine being able to build a torsion box work table – or anything, for that matter – without the time, energy and cost of building the torsion box yourself?

Q: How easy is it to work with?
A: Just use your normal wood working tools and treat it just like you wood any other piece of plywood.

For years, inventor Peter Sing has been providing the military, high-end millworks and architects across the USA (see clients list) with massive torsion box structural panels that are lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.

The most experienced woodworkers agree that torsion box is the answer to hand-crafting a large wood, straight, structurally-sound table while having some control over the overall weight and responsible use of natural materials.

Sing’s invention revolutionizes the torsion box industry by tweaking the entire torsion box concept combining wood craftsmanship and space-age technology in his factory located in McCleary, Washington, cranking out solid torsion box panels that are proudly made in the USA for his upscale clientele.

Discerning wood workers who are called upon by designers and owners of multi-million-dollar homes face challenges especially when it comes to oversized big doors. While there is no doubt experienced wood workers can make the most beautiful wood doors for their discerning clients, invariably the doors fail if they are large in size due to the inherit nature of the wood itself.

Wood will move and adapt to temperature and moisture causing it to move, compromising the functionality and seal of the most elegant hand-crafted wood door. Diligent woodworkers have sought out sing’s solution to the oversized wood door.

The same scientific solution of reinforced torsion box applies to tables and other structures that can be built without traditional wood framing for furniture or stick-built homes.

Why Torsion Box?

Because other methods of building a table top are basically inefficient. For instance, a table top built of a solid material will shift and move over time compromising its degree of flatness. Also solid materials that are less likely to move are extremely expensive, heavy and would only be considered for a permanent fixture.

The torsion box table top design gives as flat a surface area as possible while reducing the weight of the table top due to the hollow areas in the center of the boxes. Using a torsion box design, a craftsman can build the most flat surface using 1/10th the solid material.

How do I build a torsion box table top?

Materials needed: Wood for exterior frame, plywood for interior framing, saw, carpenter’s wood glue, cold press (with weight or clamps), meticulous measuring ability, focus, diligence and good minor motor skills.

Basically, you will need to establish the perimeter of your table top with an exterior frame according to the dimensions of your table. This exterior frame is generally made of wood.

The frame is built atop an underlying exterior surface material, most commonly, plywood (many varieties abound).

The most common torsion box material is plywood.

Building wood-framed boxes within the exterior frame wall-to-wall comprises the torsion box grid.

Once your torsion box structure is complete you can adhere top and bottom exterior plywood (referred to as stress skins) to complete your torsion box design.

Is it the perfect torsion box?

Probably not. The problem with traditional torsion box is that there is little or no shear strength, so if the structure is strained with enough horizontal torque the boxes could be compromised causing it to collapse. Plus, being made of wood still invites the base materials to move and give when adjusting to temperature or moisture in the environment.

How to build a better torsion box?

Inspired by traditional torsion box and using his experience gained in the aerospace industry, inventor Peter Sing created a better torsion box.

Materials needed: Wood frame, plywood strips (with grain oriented vertically as opposed to horizontally as used in traditional torsion box), saw, cold press, high-end waterproof formaldehyde-free glue, recycled dense foam that can be precisely cut into boxes.

Here’s how you build a better torsion box:

Start with your wood frame atop a stress skin, just like you would in the traditional torsion box example. This time run your plywood strips three inches apart, side by side, along the length of your exterior frame. (At this point it looks like you might be having mice race for the cheese at the other end, but keep your money in your pocket; there are no mice here.)

Now, place your 3 inch foam cubes between the vertical grain rails. Insert a 3 inch bumper (or stile) to close off the recycled foam completing your first row of interior boxes. Then place another 3 inch foam cube, followed by another bumper. Repeat until the entire interior area is filled wall to wall.

Adhere top and bottom exterior skins and you’re done.

Congratulations; you’ve just built the best torsion box structure ever!

How could you make it even better?

You’ve got to admit, as effective as it is, the tedious process is not only time consuming but expensive. But what if…

super honeycomb 2x4x1 2 ft x 4 ft x 1.5 in Sing Sandwich torsion box panel

2 ft x 4 ft x 1.5 in – no solid edge LT plywood

What if you didn’t have to build the torsion box structure at all?

What if you could buy Sing’s torsion boxes already pre-built for you?

That’s right. Mr. Sing’s factory is cranking out his patented torsion boxes by the truckload, and he’s offering special pre-built torsion box implants that measure 48 in. x 24 in. x 1.5 in. complete with stress skins for you to cut to size, drop into any frame for the perfect torsion box strength and lightweight design.

Sing Torsion Box is fast, easy, affordable, solid, lightweight, stronger than steel pound for pound and environmentally responsible.

How to I use Sing’s pre-built torsion box?

It’s easy to build your own products on demand, as you need it in any size you want.

This is the most popular in-house Sing technology used by craftsmen and millworks.

You might have never known how easy it is to build using this cold-press drop-in method.

How Easy Is It?

This is how simple it is to for you to use our pre-built torsion box.

All you have to do is to coat the underside of your bottom skin with regular carpenter glue…

Place your wood edges atop the glued-side of the skin…

Then fill the void with pre-built torsion box pieces until full.

Place glued top skin onto your completed work…

Finally cold-press until dry.

It’s that easy: Congratulations; you just made your own insulated reinforced torsion box panel!

Balsa Wood Alternative

Sing Core is the new space age composite material that is the affordable cousin to Balsa wood and has many features that Balsa wood does not have. Using the best combination of science and nature, patented Sing Core is a Balsa wood hybrid, using a natural vertical wood torsion box design.

While torsion box has been used for centuries as lightweight structure, but Sing Core fills the open spaces with recycled foam (available in a variety of densities and material to meet your specifications), then the exterior surfaces (or skins) are bonded, completing the solid structure.

Weigh the alternatives and you can make an educated decision as to whether Sing advanced composites (the best of both worlds) will better suit your needs at less than one-third the weight of Balsa wood at less than half the price.

Balsa wood does have high compression, yet compared to other composite cores, Sing Core tests out at 660 PSI, that is stronger than steel pound for pound (even bullet proof doors don’t test that high). And Sing Core is more ecologically responsible as we use only 8% natural wood fiber (compared to balsa wood’s 100%) yet due to its unique design is much stronger when compared to other materials.

Unlike Balsa wood, Sing Panels are resistant to warp, twist and rot, and they are pre-insulated for insulation and sound-deadening.

And Sing Core is so much more affordable than balsawood, especially if you are considering incorporating it as a lightweight substrate material for a large project, like a door, a table top, conference table, etc… See more applications.

Sing Core’s built-in torsion box structure, where the grid voids are not left unfilled but are filled with EPS foam provides a solid surface for bonding exterior building materials to that will not delaminate over time. Upgrading to closed-cell foam, makes Sing Core a perfect match for marine applications, like decking materials.

Big Aluminum Door

Patented Sing Core’s unique attributes enables us to make the biggest doors that are lightweight, extremely strong and Eco-friendly. Sing Core produces the only affordable solution to building a big door that can be guaranteed true flat… and will stay flat for lifetimes. Sing Core doors are pre-insulated and are resistant to climate change, bend, warp, twist, rot and insect threat.

Big Doors for Your Big Expectations

Sing Core can help solve the challenges facing architects and designers. Obviously size is where Sing Core shines, but we also help solve other issues that face designers. Some of the functionality solutions that we help to provide include:

Lightweight

The larger a door becomes the heavier it gets. This can be a huge problem because these heavy doors cause strain on the structure and hardware. Lightweight big sing aluminum doors help to mitigate the damages of traditionally too-heavy-to-be-practical doors.

High Strength

There are other lightweight panels solutions that use honeycomb technology, but they simply do not have the strength, that is why the aerospace community is looking at Sing Core. Other lightweight composite core material used in aircraft are may not be heavy, but only weigh-in at 10-to-100 PSI, while Sing Core has been tested at 660 PSI, and could be upgraded to meet nearly any specification(s).

Eco-friendly

In this topsy-turvy world, Made in the USA Eco-friendly Sing Core is the true green building material that supports our commitment to make the world a better place for all of its inhabitants, while being the most significant, revolutionary new building material invention to be introduced in this century.

Affordable

When compared to other materials, like other space-age composite panels, Sing Core is not only more environmentally friendly but costs much less that the others. Why not get all the added value and benefit of Sing Core at a fraction of the price?

True Flat

One of the problems of big doors, is that they tend to warp or twist over time, making a secure seal all but impossible compromising your project and calling for continued maintenance. Not so with your big Sing door, which can be customized to be true flat literally forever even under the most rigorous conditions.

Stay Flat

It’s one thing to install a big door, especially a large sliding door, and have it be flat when installed… but only a Sing Core big aluminum door will stay flat, virtually forever. This means huge savings in maintenance costs due to having the door’s flatness fail over time.

Pre-insulated

Sing Core’s big aluminum doors are all packed with insulation imbued with an R-value that saves energy, while offering sound dampening qualities. And these values can be custom-suited to meet your specifications for energy efficiency or sound proofing.

Element-proof

Your Sing big aluminum door is resistant to climate change and can handle the most extreme weather conditions per your specifications. Due to Sing Core’s unique vertical grain torsion box design these big aluminum doors are will not bend, warp, twist, rot or suffer damage due to insect or vermin assault.

How big can a Sing Door be?

To date, less than 50 feet for a single door panel is no problem… and we would certainly welcome the challenge of providing a solution that exceeds the 50 foot barrier.

According to our clients, standard Sing Core doors are equivalent to roughly STC 30* depending on the core materials selected by the client. One recording studio engineer says, “We can build a sound-proof room, no problem. But the door… That is the weakest link. Thanks to the Sing Sound Door we have solved that problem, and are seriously considering Sing Core for use throughout the entire new studio build that we are considering at another location.”

This new generation of lead-free Sing Core Sound Proof Doors that we have made for some of our most critical clients reached higher testing ranges up to STC-56. We can help you achieve the results that you desire according to your specifications and requirements.

That said, Sing Core might be the base of your most demanding project…

Sing Core Will Team Up With You

We work with sound engineers all the time, but we are looking to partner with someone to help us develop our sound proof line. If you have a large quantity/quality sound proof project including walls, doors, ceilings, floors, we would like to team up with you to get the job done. We have access to local sound testing facilities to achieve the higher STC rating that you desire and will share the STC rating costs with you (or totally absorb the cost if the job is big enough). Contact us for more information.

How to Sound Proof a Room

Whether you’re looking to build an exotic home movie theater or a portable sound booth for street construction, we have been providing the most simple solution to sound reduction with the easiest form of delivery and construction method of all; the Sing Panel.

Sing Panels are created to your specs and can easily interlock with cam-locks for a perfect fit every time. Set-up and tear-down is both quick and silent, without debris or cleanup.

It is no surprise that many industries are attracted to Sing Core due to its sound deadening properties, yet you also get the added benefits of working with a lightweight, high-strength and Eco-friendly building material. You will find Sing Sound portable recording booth solutions in use in recording studios, voice over booths, translation recording, broadcast booths, musical instrument practice booths, medical isolation booths, audiology, forensic and ballistic testing labs, etc…

Sing Sound in the Studio

Working with recording studios, Sing Core helps the upscale sound studio solve the acoustic challenges facing the uncompromising recording engineer with the sound isolation of the studio mic from the rest of the recording equipment.

Originally Sing Core was sought out when trying to resolve issues when faced with trying to find the answer to how to soundproof a door. It wasn’t long and the door was expanded to other applications by some of the brightest engineers and designers, because if you remove the door frame, you have a wall, lay it flat and it is a floor or ceiling.

Little is more important to the music producer than the vocal booth when recording the vocal tracks in recording studios NYC who work with the top record companies.

When working with recording studios in Chicago, Sing Core consistently solves the variety of challenges that arise from dealing with a wide variety of talent with completely customizable audio recording setups. In this specialized arena, it is more important to use the Sing acoustic sound walls as moveable and reconfigurable components for portable sound booths.

While recording studios in Atlanta presented us with providing the solutions for acoustic treatment in their rap studio in the intrinsic nature of the rap studio using Sing Sound Wall to solve the issues inherit in mixing and mastering in the sound recording process.

On the West Coast a record producer working with a recording studio in Los Angeles worked with Sing Core’s Sing acoustic panels in the recording studio design of their re-engineered remodel.

Whether you’re doing voice over work or mastering if you’re dealing with issues related to the recording microphone, Sing Core offers a wide variety of solutions for recording microphone isolation or pristine acoustically flat music mastering environment via our portable vocal booth or soundbooth components and/or materials.

Sound absorption issues were resolved in recording studio equipment and whisper room design in recording studios in Houston, eliminating the need for sound blankets.

Sing Sound Home Studio Solutions

Not to forget the countless home recording studio applications of Sing Soundboard which is available in any dimension, is easy to assemble, disassemble and reconfigure on-the-fly and stores flat so that it can be completely inconspicuous when not in use.

The home studio setup offers many opportunities to achieve the optimum high-end results from their music studio making the end product indistinguishable when compared to commercial music studios.

Among other applications, you will find collapsible small meeting rooms at tradeshows for quiet visitation between sales and new acquaintances manufactured with Sing Sound Board.

Home Cinema Theater Sound Treatments

Helping architects provide their clients with the acoustical resources to deliver the goods when it comes to high-end home theater systems and designs is not only a welcomed challenge, but Sing Core excels in the architectural acoustics arena.

Of primary importance is to preserve the integrity of the theater look, feel and experience, while having as little impact on the other areas of the home, exterior environment and/or surrounding neighborhood.

In an effort to preserve the investment in home theatre system, care must be taken in establishing a base structure to compliment your home theater installation.

You could have the world’s best home theater system, including the home theater seating, top-drawer surround sound and décor; the last thing you want to do is to compromise the integrity of your residential theater.

You will also find the Sing Sound solution in theater architecture, acoustical wall treatments, cinema acoustics and media rooms.

Among the various business segments we (Sing Panels) are often invited to join our business clients as they fabricate their own trade show booths on-the-fly. Rather than relying on us (or third-party designers) they simply obtain Sing Panels as their raw materials, then build and decorate to their heart’s content.

At a trade show you want to look your best and sometimes it is important to have a professionally isolated area where you can interact with your clients without the distraction of the ongoing tradeshow noise and distractions.

You could spend top-dollar for your Sing Trade Show Booth, or simply do it yourself. All you need to do is to order the number of Sing Panels that you need to create your booth, i.e., a 12 x 8 trade show booth can be easily constructed our of seven Sing Panels (three for the back and two for each side). Your trade show booth can be assembled quickly, easily and quietly with an electric screwdriver, and can be assembled in minutes singlehandedly.

Occasionally, at an increasing rate of late, our tradeshow people have been using Sing Panels as their structure material for building on site sound proof rooms that are built rapidly at low cost.

Quickly assemble a number of 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 2 in. (with ¼ in. luan facing) Sing Panels into the desired room configuration.

You will need a door for access. There are 3 ways to do this:

Order 1 Sing Panels with a door (could be a Sing Sound Proof Door) built-in
Cut a Sing Panel and insert your own door on site
Hinge an entire Sing Panel as an access point

Using this method you will be able to assemble your private area within minutes.

To increase sound crossover and privacy, add panels as floor and ceiling then consider how to sound proof a room:

To sound proof your area, you could get Sing Sound Panels which are normally more expensive and used in permanent installations, or you could use the methods used by many of our tradeshow attendees and save thousands and thousands of dollars:

Once you have your basic Sing Panel structure assembled (including floor and ceiling) add as many layers of sheetrock to the exterior (and interior, if desired) as needed to obtain the level of sound-proofing desired.

Remember, Sing Panels are not only lightweight and sound-dampening but they are also strong. Even without a frame (you don’t really need one because of the built-in torsion box frame) Sing Panels are many times stronger than a rinky-dink 2×4 frame and in fact are stronger than steel (see comparison). So, if you wanted to add a layer of lead for increased sound deadening, your Sing Panel frame can easily handle the extra weight.

An impressive way to increase the sound-deadening qualities of your structure is to alternate layers of sheetrock with sing panels. For example, the basic structure might be your Sing Panel core with sheet rock on both the inside and outside. On the outside add another later of Sing Panel and another layer of sheetrock to achieve the desired result.

You can also add acoustic textile, perforated acoustical soundboard or sound proof foam material to either the exterior or interior of your structure, or both.

Demolition of your Disposable Theater and/or Conference Room

Disassembly of your Sing Core theater or conference room is as easy as reversing the direction on your screwdriver.

Many of our economy sound-proof trade show people simply disassemble their areas, leaving the sheetrock behind for the convention center to dispose of (sometimes they even leave the Sing Panels behind, too, but most of them take the panels with them, if they can).

Sound Dampening Options

We work hand-in-hand with architects, designers, sound engineers and professionals to give you the results that you desire using the products and specifications to decimate the challenges of sound absorption or sound proofing that you require.

Sing Core is not a sound proofing company, we are a specialty panel company that builds the best Eco-friendly lightweight, high-strength acoustic panels customized per your specifications for the sound proofing industry.

Note that Sing Core does not engineer STC rated* doors, we only build to your architectural or engineered door specs. Be certain to detail how you want your sound door’s specifics. Sing Core can have sound doors tested and rated locally at the customer’s request and expense.

Sing Core internal options

Standard foam is EPS, common upgrade is urethane foam to increase sound deadening. Additional options include using rigid acoustic fiberglass (Armacell, ATSA, etc…) as foam replacement in the torsion box core.

Sing Panel Acoustic Skin Options

You may specify any acoustical exterior surface material that will fit the requirements of your project. Some exterior material options that we have used include: Magboard, Owens Corning 703, Knauf ECOSE® Insulation Board, Roxul Rockboard, concrete and even lead.

Additional Outer Layer Surface

Sing Acoustic Panels can be covered in a variety of additional sound absorbing acoustic materials including burlap, Guilford® of Maine acoustic fabric or any other additional outer layer surface material that is desired or requested.

* Note: STC rating varies according to size, thickness, skin, and other factors. Sing Core does not rate doors, although we are fortunate enough to have one of the best sound testing labs in the world, here in the Pacific Northwest. If you require a specific STC rating, Sing Core can build a door to your architectural specifications and have the resulting door tested at our rating facility for an official rating.
