No Frame Needed

No need to frame your tiny house because Sing products all have a built-in torsion box structure that delivers less weight and more strength than any traditional stick-frame design and will not warp, bend or twist like traditional lumber.Sing Core panels are lightweight!

Lightweight

Sing products are a fraction of the weight of solid wood, plywood or particle board, making it much easier to handle and manage on site. Also, this could be a huge advantage if intend to build a tiny house on a trailer, making it much more cost effective to move without requiring a large heavy duty vehicle to build your own tiny house.

High strength

Galvanized steel modular wall panel 20 ft x 5 ft x 1 inch strength demonstrationDue to the high-strength of Sing products (How strong? Six times [or more] stronger than honeycomb panels used in aerospace), your tiny house will be stronger than a traditional wood-framed structure. That’s why Sing structures can be used efficiently in disaster and severe weather condition for emergency or safety precautions. One of our clients said, “If my house ever gets picked up by a hurricane, all I have to do is find out where it landed and probably have to replace the glass. This thing’s solid, like a rock.”

Insulated

Featuring pre-insulated Sing Core, you will keep cool in the Summer and warm in the Winter (R3.5 or R6.5 per inch) while enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with innate sound deadening qualities as well for increased privacy and safety in your little homes.

How to Build Any Structure Insulated Lightweight High Strength

Many designers, engineers, contractors and enthusiastic do-it-yourself home builders have found the newest and best building material to build better structures more rapidly at reduced cost and labor that are:

Frameless
Sing’s patented torsion box/foam composite core creates a solid reinforced structural insulated panel that has all the structure needed built-in so you do not need to frame your structure.
Insulated
The insulation in Sing products yields an R3.5 or R6.5 rating per inch providing temperature control and sound deadening qualities.
Lightweight
Due to the responsible use of natural wood fiber for the torsion box core and lightweight rigid foam to fill the voids, these solid composite panels weight a fraction of other solid flat building materials.
High Strength
The strength of Sing’s vertical grain torsion box/rigid foam structure has been tested by the University of Washington to exceed 660 PSI. (Compare that to other aerospace panels rated at 10 to 110 PSI.)
Eco-friendly
All sing products are made in the USA using the best of natural and recycled materials requiring very little energy generating little or no waste and manufactured with high-grade, waterproof formaldehyde-free adhesives.

Due to the growing popularity of patented Sing Core’s versatility, we get many requests about how to build various types of structures. The truth of the matter is that we do not participate in the R&D process; all we do is provide the panels, posts and beams made to the specifications of the engineers and architects (see clients list). They already have their connection methods in place and we make this information available to you.

How to connect Sing caterpillar construction method

See: Connection Methods

Foundation

When you are building a structure of any type it is good to start from the ground up. Sing Core can provide the best structural foundation components that are lightweight yet stronger than steel pound for pound.

Floor

You can have the best lightweight high strength floor system requiring very little structural support because the structure is already pre-built into the insulated flooring with no need for a sub-floor. The lightweight of the structural floor panels makes building quick and easy.

Walls

Besides doors, walls are the most sought out application for Sing Panels due to their unparalleled strength, insulation and lightweight. They come in two varieties, either with (Sing Panel) solid wood edges for connecting or without (Sing Sandwich) depending on your connection method of choice. Uses of Sing walls are found amongst a wide variety of applications from warehouses, temporary structures, complete homes, storage units, garages and sheds, tiny houses, and grow rooms. Sing walls excel indoors or exposed 100% to extreme weather conditions.

Ceilings

Sing Sandwich and Sing Panel both find their home above your head as well as below your feet. The choice of using either a Sing Sandwich or Sing Panel depends on the design and configuration of your structure. As always, Sing Core manufacturers your Sing products to your specifications for load-bearing performance, insulation qualities for temperature control and sound deadening ceilings.

Roof Structure

Sing Beams are an amazing revolution to be found in the top of the best structures known to man and are still elegant in their appearance as they can look like solid wood beams and can also take on the appearance of solid aluminum, steel or any other flat building material according to your specs. The lightweight reduces labor and equipment costs as well as the risk of on-the-job injuries when working overhead on the upper structure of the building.

Roofing

Using Sing product in your exterior roof applications make more sense than any other roof material. The high strength reduces the need for roofing substructure, while the insulation provides an extra barrier to the elements.

Entire Homes Built of Sing Core

So it’s no surprise that some of the most discriminating homebuilders are using Sing products to build entire home. In fact, homes have been built entirely of Sing Sandwich, Sing Panels, Sing Post and Beam, even the furniture can be built using Sing products, everything except the glass, fixtures and the doorknob.

Torsion Box Improvement

Torsion Box (lightweight panel, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel)

1. What is Torsion Box?

The revolution or evolution of wood working, metal fabrication, plastic and cement meets the invention of patented Sing Sandwich core (see the many uses of Sing Core). Sing Panel provides the wood worker with pre-built torsion box.

Traditional-Torsion-Box-Diagram

Traditional torsion box (above) which could take all day to build

or insulated pre-built Sing reinforced torsion box (below)

torsion box plywood cutaway sing core lowes home improvement warehouse

2. Why Torsion Box?

torsion box animationBecause 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.

3. How does torsion box work?

aka: lightweight panel, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel

Examine the theory behind the torsion box/sandwich panel/lightweight panel/honeycomb panel

please click link below:

Sandwich Panel Core

Use Sing torsion box to replace conventional wood core, particle board core for the true flat, light weight and high strength characteristics.

 There are several core materials also widely used to function as torsion box such as:

* Wood core
* Furniture wood core
* Table wood core
* Solid wood core
* Wood core table
* Wood core furniture
* Wood door core

Google Search: wood core

Why do craftsmen use wood core? Because it reduces the cost of exotic woods and by alternating grain orientation – like plywood – it can help to minimize warping; but even plywood warps and is very heavy. Using lightweight Sing torsion box may eliminate warping altogether.

* Sing torsion is 10% of the weight of solid wood based core.
* Sing torsion box is stronger than steel lbs for lbs.
* Sing torsion box is safe to work with
fewer injuries if the object is a large door
table or large piece of furniture.

Get your torsion box pre-built for you in 2 ft. x 4 ft. sections

Imagine being able to build a torsion box work table and hundreds of lightweight, high-strength true flat, non-warping panels – endless applications – without the time, energy and cost of building the torsion box yourself?

Oversize Entrance Pivot Doors

“If we could build this giant warp-free wooden pivot entry door, we can build your door.” ~ Peter Sing

For thousands of years pivot doors have been the upscale preference of the most exotic high-end large oversize entrance doors relying heavily on the entry door hardware, specifically the pivot hinge, to manage the functionality of the pivot door.

Due to the size and weight of the conventional modern pivot door the heavy duty hinges and pivot door hardware could account for up to half the cost of the pivot door (e.g., a low end pivot door could cost $3,000, half the price will pay for the hardware due to the heavy weight), creating a high price point as well as being expensive to transport, handle and install.

Yet, the most demanding clients desire this elegant outswing exterior door to make an extreme visual impact for the primary access point of their structure (while bringing the outside in and the inside out by way of the architect’s modern design concept) regardless of price to command attention via first impression.

Pivot doors may be the most expensive designer doors but there’s no escaping the luxurious feel that they lend to designs by top architects who help to create the most leading edge structure designs by featuring the best exterior doors.

Since hardware is of huge importance in a pivot door’s design and implementation, there are many options to consider including offset pivot hinge, commercial door hinges, heavy duty door hinges and center pivot door hardware in your pivoting door system.

2. Wood frame and/or solid wood pivot door

  • Not strong
  • Heavy
  • Danger for kit to operate due to the heavy weight
  • Less compression strength on the surface of the door—-potential structure after years of use.
  • Potential to warp, twist, cup, bend
  • Lack of high precision—which cause the leak of air, latch have problem to close or does not have a close tolerance to lock the door in place
  • High cost for hardware and installation
  • Lack of insulation

Many pivot doors feature metal structures and framed composites and more popular for exclusive high security environments, commercial steel entry doors and even residential steel entry doors.

How to Build an Exterior Door

Many considerations must go into the design, plan, building and installing a pivot door.

1. The Core Material
The core material that makes up the heart of your pivot door determines so much. Based on your choice of material you will determine your pivoting door’s:

  • Weight
  • Strength
  • Insulation
  • Precision
  • Performance
  • Maintenance

2. The Frame

Will your pivot door be a solid one-piece material construction, or will it be framed or unframed?

Many options about for the substance of your pivot door, first – the most heavy and likely the most unstable – is solid construction, then framing. Framing your pivot door can be with wood or metal, like steel or extruded aluminum. Wood will move framing with metals, like a conventional steel door, may not meet high performance specifications due to welding creating imperfections in the metals.

3. The Entry Door Styles

What will the general appearance of your door be? What exterior surface material, skin (see material options) or design will make your pivot front door stand out to make that impactful visual impression?

Can the Affordable Pivot Door Replace Contemporary Entrance Doors?

Until now, pivot doors have generally been too expensive for the average homeowner to consider, but one pivot door core material is changing all that. Sing Core manufactures an Eco-friendly pivot door core material used by the most high-end architects, designers, door manufacturers, millworks and contractors for building the best pivot doors in the world.

What constitutes the best pivot door in the world? One that is:

1. Eco-friendly (sustainable, true green)

Sing Core panels are constructed with natural wood fiber vertical grain torsion box filled with recycled rigid foam adhered between stress skins using formaldehyde-free glue for a solid substrate.

2. Lightweight

Sing Core panels weigh a fraction of the weight of other solid structural building materials.

3. High strength

Sing Core panels were independently tested by the University of Washington at 660 PSI for super-strength (compared to 10 to 110 PSI of other honeycomb cores used in the aerospace industry).

4. Insulated

Sing Core panels are packed with insulation rated at R 3.5 to R 6.5 (depending on foam selection) and feature sound deadening qualities for security and privacy.

5. High Precision

Only Sing Core panels can be created to be true flat, within .006 inch tolerance with little or no deflection.

6. Versatile

Sing Core panels can feature any surface material (skin), like any wood species, aluminum, ceramic, concrete, fiberglass (FRP), HPL, Kevlar, LVL, MDF, stainless steel, stone or any other flat building material, may host any glass lite openings in any configuration and can be embellished to have the appearance of any style door imaginable.

How Can I Get a Sing Core Pivot Door?

There are many ways that you can make your pivot door dreams come true.

1 Architect

Architects have access to Sing Core technology and are specifying Sing Core in their pivot door designs – especially if they are large pivot doors – that can be manufactured by their favorite millworks.

2 Millworks

Most one-of-a-kind custom pivot doors are created by revered craftspeople and woodworkers who create hand crafted pivot doors for exclusive clientele.

3 Door Companies

Any door company can use Sing Core panel as the substrate for your pivot door. Though many do not feature the Sing Core pivot door as a standards catalog item, in most cases you can special order your pivot door with Sing Core technology.

4 Contractor

Sing Core pivot doors panels are sold without hardware installed and unfinished. Our door panels are manufactured for mill works to install hardware and finish. We do not recommend shipping Sing Core door panels the job site for installing hardware and finishing. This is not the best way to treat a high end door such as a large pivot door made with Sing Core. We highly recommend the GC work with millwork professionals to finish at their facility (except some special restrictions).

We believe each professional has it’s own specialized knowledge just like we do not expect an architect to install the door, instead using a highly trained GC.

Since the weight of your Sing Core pivot door will be a fraction the weight of a solid (or framed) pivot door you can save cash that would have to be invested in heavy duty pivot door hardware that could account for half the cost of any other pivot door.

Plus you save on transportation and installation costs, just like our clients (see clients list) and enjoy maintenance-free high performance of your pivot door.
