Door Representatives

As a door professional or specialist you are familiar with how conventional doors are made and promoted. Get ready for something new: Introducing a new technology in door core and manufacturing that is making a huge impact in the extremely high-end door market.

true-flat-doors-in-quantity-fast-delivery-coast-to-coast-compareIf you Google true flat doors you will see what the latest technologies are, and you might be surprised to find that Sing Core is leading the wave of this new generation of doors that can be true flat in any size (even extremely oversize), super strong, yet lightweight and Eco-friendly. Sing Core might be the perfect match for your discriminating clients/customers. Why not give them a better door that costs less?

What to Expect from a Sing Core Door

1.      Strength and Insulation

Sing Core doors offer a 10 year structure warranty. This is possible due to the extreme strength that is far superior when compared to other core materials (aviation industry cores rate at 10 to 110 PSI, yet Sing Core weighs-in at 660 PSI, crushing the competition). A 12,000 lb vehicle w/rubber tires cannot cause Sing Core to fail. Sing Core is about 10% of the weight of solid wood is based on patented wood torsion box and foam design that provides insulation and noise blocking.

2.      Fast Delivery, Any Size/Style & Fast Delivery

Sing Core can make any type of door in any style or size with window/light openings at very affordable pricing. Sing Core shines when it comes to oversize doors, because no other material can produce a door that is extremely large and lightweight, yet strong enough to remain true flat, warp and twist resistant. Each door is made in the USA which enables us to deliver rapid response and our factories excel at producing large quantities of doors in little time at reduced cost per door.

3.      Sing Core – Your Door Resource

We routinely make and ship doors servicing the best clients from coast to coast at competitive prices. We can make and ship fast, and also ship inexpensively because of the doors being so lightweight enabling us to actively export to other countries. In fact, we recently delivered a 700 door job for a client in Atlanta in less than 7 days to meet their deadline and expectations. Sing Core doors can feature any material, like, any wood species, aluminum, concrete, FRP, MDF, stainless steel and can be fire retardant or bullet-proof to meet your client’s expectations.

 true-flat-door-production-10-years-guaranteed-flat4.      Eco-friendly Door

Every step of our manufacturing process is ecologically comprehensive as we use less energy, use renewable and long-life materials to build Sing Core doors with little or no waste in the USA. We use formaldehyde-free adhesives and contents while meeting the most stringent tolerances for each door.

Lightweight MDF

Building materials such as plywood, MDF, particle board, LVL, Parallam and laminated beams are standard building materials that have been around for years. The newest technology on the forefront of evolutionary building materials includes honeycomb composite materials, like those used in the aircraft industry.

Introducing Lightweight MDF

lightweight-mdf-sing-panelsSing Core is raising the bar for composite building materials by combining the best technology with more traditional materials resulting in super hybrids, such as lightweight plywood, lightweight MDF, lightweight particle board, honeycomb plywood, honeycomb MDF and honeycomb particle board that all have superior structural strength.

Lightweight MDF Characteristics

Available in any size; – in any length, any width, any thickness

Lighter weight. Reduce the weight of not only MDF, but any building material by replacing its core with sing Core (which weighs little more than air). 4 x8 sheets easily managed by one person

Superior strength. Inserting and fusing sing Core to MDF or any other surface material greatly increases strength and structural integrity due to the patented foam-infused vertical wood grain torsion box design

Insulated. Pre-insulated Sing Core provides benefits such as R-values starting at R3 to R6.5 and up, sound-deadening qualities

Exterior material options. While MDF is a common exterior material for effective use of sandwiching Sing Core it can be fused with nearly any building material including aluminum, concrete, FRP, plywood or stainless steel just to name a few.

Eco-friendly. Manufactured in the USA with low-energy production, no toxic waste, formaldehyde-free glue, natural wood fiber torsion box and recycled foam

Longevity. In a world when most building materials are disposable, Sing Core outperforms any other building material and the resulting products can last centuries.

Lightweight Composite Technology

lightweight-mdf-bookshelvesSing Core composite materials are many times stronger than those used by Boeing and in Air Bus and are available to you at a fraction of the price. See our comparison table.

4 x 8 sheets of MDF are very heavy and difficult to manage on the table saw in millwork environments and can be associated with on-the-job injuries due to the weight issue, as well as on the construction site if using several people to move, manipulate or install the MDF product. Sing Core’s composite MDF is lightweight and combats the problems associated with MDF’s density. While MDF is an excellent building material it is simply too heavy for large applications or widths unless fused with Sing Core making it a more structurally sound and lightweight fiber board.

Imagine the possibilities of a single person being able to work with a couple of 4×8 sheets of MDF at a time, a material with almost endless applications matching your requirements and specifications including moisture resistant, fire retardant and even bullet-proof.

Take the Google Challenge

Google search lightweight panel, lightweight door core, lightweight furniture, and you will see how this new technology is impacting the manufacture of structural materials especially in terms of lightweight, high strength and Eco-friendliness.

Sing Core is isotropic (having identical values of a property in all directions) and adds superior strength to MDF materials that is bonded with making it easier to manage and adds strength to longer spans of MDF, where an unsupported MDF might fail without the patented vertical grain torsion box structure.

Now you can use Medium Density Fiberboard with confidence when infused with Sing Core. Eco-friendly Sing Core greatly enhances the structural integrity of the MDF without adding formaldehyde and reduces the overall weight of the MDF making it an extremely effective building material.

When it comes to composite materials, Sing Core’s Lightweight MDF is head and shoulders above the rest and competitively priced to gain wide acceptance by forward-thinking plywood distributors and millworks.

Introducing Sing Core to your customers and clients will increase customer satisfaction by giving them the technological and sustainable edge that helps to make the world a better place.

Architects Material Support

architects-material-suuportSing Core partners with architects to help bring their creations to life. In many ways, Sing Core would not have its place in the building materials industry, if not for concerned and creative architects looking to push the envelope of contemporary designs. Assisting architects is the backbone of the Sing Core model.
We are so excited to work hand-in-hand with our architects as they develop one-of-a-kind creations ranging from single-person dwellings to enormous skyscrapers; and when it comes to oversize, no one makes an Eco-friendly composite building material that compares to Sing Core in terms of lightweight, strength and true flat.

How Lightweight Is Sing Core?

Everyone knows that Sing Core builds the largest doors that are lightweight, super strong, will not warp or twist and are true flat. For instance our largest doors weight-in at 2 lbs per sq ft. Compare that to any other material that would be 3-to-4 times the weight, and would not have the structural integrity or benefits of the Sing Core door, including less added stress to the hardware & structure.

How Versatile Is Sing Core?

Think about it; a door is merely a plank. Lay it down and it becomes a floor, raise it up and it becomes a ceiling or loft, on its side a wall; all with built-in structural framing and insulation. Cut it into stair treads or rip it into shelving or any size lumber that you might need on-the-fly, and it is also available in posts and beams. Not to mention the wide variety of surface materials that are available to give you the aesthetic, strength or true flat attributes that you desire, leading to endless applications.

See: True flat 25 foot oak conference table as an example.

Surface Material Options

Speaking of the many skin options, we work hand in hand with you to get you the product that you want. For instance, if you want your project to look as though it was built using solid wood, we can cover the material in any wood species in almost any thickness to meet your expectations. We also have used other materials, like aluminum, ceramic, concrete, glass, fiberglass, metals, plastics, steel, even fire-resistant mag-board and bulletproof Kevlar. You dream it, we will help you execute it and bring that dream to life.

Easy to Spec

Lightweight Panel Architectural Design with Sing HoneycombUsing Sing Core in your spec is as easy as 1-2-3 using our online price quote. Price is based on three things: Height, Width and Thickness. And Sing Core can host any flat building material including (but not limited to) concrete, fiberglass, any metal or wood species, just to name a few. Other options include surface material (or skins) to help bring your designs to life as it can host any flat building material to acts as an external skin to provide the specific attributes that you seek to deliver.

How Economical is Sing Core?

Besides being inexpensive in comparison to other high-tech aerospace composite materials, Sing Core saves money in many ways, including shipping and transportation costs, reduction in labor costs and on-the-job injuries and saving on supporting structures and substrates because Sing Core has built-in structure and is also an extremely strong substrate material. There is no need to insulate due to being pre-insulated providing an effective R-value of insulation (depending on your recommendations or requirements) and also has inherit sound-deadening qualities.

How Strong Is Sing Core?

In fact, Sing Core is so strong that it is the only composite material with enough brute force integrity to create structural posts and beams. Compared to equivalent aeronautic composite material Sing Core is at least ten-times the strength of these material at much less cost per square foot.

10 Year Guarantee

Sing Core’s strength and performance is so superior compared to other traditional building materials, that it is confidently guaranteed both for structural integrity and true flatness for a full 10 years. Likewise, with any product that is manufactured by Sing Core, the entire item is guaranteed.

Sing Core Installation & Execution

Installation and use of Sing Core is trouble-free and your contractors and mill works will thank you for inviting them to work with this revolutionary material. Being so lightweight makes it extremely easy to handle and transport, and it is easily finished or modified on-site with no special tools or skills as it is treated just like plywood, yet is lightweight and strong.

Lightweight High Strength Eco Friendly Metal Pivot Doors

Pivot Door Line DrawingLightweight High Strength Eco Friendly Metal Pivot Doors

When professionals seek out extraordinary, unique and/or oversized modern steel doors the most conscientious purveyors settle on a Sing Core metal pivot door.

While exquisitely masterful in their design, modern metal pivot doors present many challenges.  The first challenge to overcome is that of excess weight. Due to the size of the door – if it is constructed simply of metal – the door is just not practical due to its excessive weight.

Contemporary modern steel doors are available in many colorsWhat you want is an

Extraordinary metal pivot door with a unique, bold and striking appearance

(see samples of contemporary metal pivot door finishes to the right…)

That has these characteristics:

  • Lightweight
  • High strength
  • Eco-friendly
  • Affordable

To combat this challenge door manufacturers seek out composite materials to incorporate into the design of the metal pivot door to deal with the heaviness of the door that causes a strain on the structural integrity of the frame, the hardware and project overall.

Solid steel pivot doors, while impressive, are just not practical, yet engineers have found ways to circumvent the obstacles in an effort to retain the appearance of being a solid steel pivot door.

Modern steel pivot door finish exampleThe next challenge to overcome is that of strength. By compromising the metal pivot door’s integrity by not being constructed of solid metal, other cores are considered to reduce the weight of the metal pivot door.

Normal alterations include, using a lesser-strength metal core. Using a metal tube substrate or honeycomb core will match the structure of the metal door, but compromises the overall strength, while resulting in a metal pivot door that is still extremely overweight.

Engineers in search of a more lightweight solution, then consider composite materials to fill the core of your metal pivot door. These include natural solutions, like wood, or manufactured solutions, like foam. While wood products are an option, if solid, are still too heavy to result in a lighter weight solution, and still cannot compare to the strength of a solid steel door. And though foam is lightweight, it simply has no structural integrity and fails the test of strength altogether. Also, over time, these core components tend to lose their integrity, and rarely (if ever) produce an end product that is true flat.

Another consideration is that of excessive energy and harm to the environment expended in the creation of your metal pivot door. The process of creating a metal pivot door with metal interior components requires a lot of wasted energy consumption and highly-skilled laborers (welders) that not only makes the door non-eco-friendly, but results in a very expensive end product.

Beautiful red hot metal pivot door finishSing Core can host any metal material, like stainless steel, iron, copper or aluminum and is the solution for all these considerations, providing the designer, contractor and end-user with all these benefits, and more…

Sing Core, when used as the substrate of your metal pivot door will not compromise the exterior metal beauty and magnificence of your door, which is the primary concern of this exciting, bold design choice.

LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGH-STRENGTH & TRUE FLAT

Sing Core is extremely lightweight, yet stronger than steel over any given spans and is the primary reason why it is selected over other types of composite core materials by high-end users; solving both the challenges of lightweight and high strength. It also creates a surface that is true flat, and retains its flatness over time. Every Sing Core metal pivot door comes with a 10 year warranty.

ECO-FRIENDLY, MADE IN THE USA

Sing Core is also eco-friendly. As Sing Core is manufactured, the process uses very little energy, utilizes renewable materials and produces little or no waste. Sing Core is also proudly manufactured in the USA.

Stainless steel diamond plate pivot doorINEXPENSIVE

Sing Core is economical to use. Using less-skilled labor to create Sing Core makes it an affordable option. Not to mention the reduction in costs of hardware and installation.

Don’t we all want a beautiful metal pivot door that is a bold design feature revered in modern architectural circles?

Shouldn’t yours be lightweight, have high strength and be earth-friendly?

Certainly, we would expect to pay more for this technology, but Sing Core is so affordable, think of what more good you could do for the world by saving costs of production and installation, let alone your bottom line.

Sing Core’s lightweight, high strength, eco-friendly metal pivot doors are the unequivocal answer for the discriminating modern pivot door designers today.

Sing Core Partners with Architects and Designers for a Better World

singcore-architects-designersLightweight does not mean weak, heavy does not mean strong; just as low cost does not mean inferior. If you are searching for lightweight panel, post and beam in wood, metal, cement board, FPR or plastic for your building design project. Newly Patented Sing core is changing the public’s previous knowledge about lightweight honeycomb sandwich material. Sing core is the only material used in such a wide range of industries and it has endless applications.

Sing Core’s mission is to provide superior eco-friendly product to architects who have share a common goal with Sing product to build a better World creating a healthier, green planet, benefiting all creatures and life forms for extended sustainability for the future.

Sing Core is Eco-Friendly

Sing Core is manufactured with less, energy consumed, using earth-friendly renewable veneers. No formaldehyde is used in the adhesives between the structural and sandwich facings to ensure a true green end-product.

Sing Core is Lightweight

Sing Aluminum3Sing Core is extremely lightweight. Though traditional honeycomb panels and products have been effectively used in your designs, patented Sing Core weight is approximately 4-6 lbs per cubic foot. No other core or sandwich material can lay claim to the lightweight advantages of patented Sing Core.

Sing Core is Strong

Traditional aluminum, paper and/or plastic honeycomb core cell size is commonly 3/8 inch to ¾ inch.  The average compression strength are 10 to 100 psi; but the smallest Sing Core grid is 2 inch x 2 inch which when tested at the University of Washington reached 660 psi. for Sing Core’s honeycomb core.

The height of Sing Core could be 6 inches or more and still has superior strength but the average height of traditional cores are limited to mostly within one inch because the taller the core, the less compression strength. That is why you never see aluminum core in a 6 inch thickness, because they fail structurally. Sing Core maintains its strength and integrity in thickness of 6 inches or more. Sing Core is redefining, “lightweight and strong.”

Sing Core’s Unlimited Applications

Sing Core panels are available in thicknesses as little as 1/8”and as thick as 8 inches in lengths of 50 feet or longer, in aluminum, plywood, even cement bprad or ceramic tile or fiberglass  or any other facing. Sing Core beams have superior structural integrity and can be 20 x 12 inches thick and 50 feet long (or more).

sing-core-made-in-the-usaSing Core is Made in the USA

100% of Sing Core is proudly manufactured in the USA, using local labor supporting our community. Though Sing Core is also proud to be exported to other countries with green building agendas, our hope is to provide American jobs, supporting the American economy while making America greener and more sustainable, ensuring a bright future for generations to follow.

10 Year Warranty

Sing Core exceeds current code requirements. For example, in the door industry, AWI’s guidelines dictate that a door should be less than ¼ inch flatness. Sing Core routinely builds doors that are over 10 ft or longer in length, yet staying within those 7 ft doors code requirements. Doors made of Sing Core provide 10 years of structure warranty. As a common practice in door industry, most manufacturers offer only a one year warranty.

Products made with patented Sing Core can be easily repaired without compromising it’s original strength, due to the structure of Sing Core and the bonded stress skin which when compared to solid wood and other types of solid materials would pose a significant challenge.
