Our panels make doors!

Patented Sing Core solid wood stave door blanks feature the newest technology in the door industry for composite doors yielding the only eco-friendly, lightweight, fully insulated, high-strength doors with wood blanks of any size (up to 40 ft.) that can be guaranteed true flat and to stay flat for 50 years.

Large door versus regular-size door challenge (i.e., over 4 feet wide and over 8 feet in length):

Large doors are heavy, dimensionally unstable, require more strength due to the heavy weight, and are a challenge to manufacture, ship and install.  High-end jobs require precision and true flatness to please the customer.  A homeowner’s architect, general contractor and mill worker must solve the problem of warping doors.  The solution to the challenge is to use patented professional true flat Sing panels to make your doors.

Sing Core wood stave door planks are the only solid wood doors that will not warp, bend, twist or cup following installation.  This means no more continuous service calls for maintenance of big doors that cannot possibly stay straight due to the limitations of solid wood – or any other door core – that is subject to failure.  Sing panels have a patented honeycomb/torsion box interior which gives lightweight yet unsurpassed strength (pound-per-pound stronger than steel) and stability to any door, and allows Sing Core to provide a 50-year guarantee

Interior Doors:

Sing panels make amazing designer doors in any style.  With Sing panels, fragile doors such as French doors are made lightweight yet strong, not warping or breaking hinges, which will last for many decades.

Exterior Doors:

Sing panels make sturdy exterior doors in any style.  With Sing panels, exterior doors are lightweight and strong, even when oversized.  Our professional doors are guaranteed to stay true flat and not warp or twist for 50 years

When is a door not a door? When it fails to function as a door.

The problem is that all door core materials are either not high precision, too heavy or will move when exposed to moisture, humidity or change in temperature resulting in door failure.

Heavy solid metal or steel will not warp, bend or twist, but is not high precision due to welding (sing core tolerance is + or –  .006 inch!) and is often impractical due to the overweight issues causing excess strain on both the hardware and structure, causing continued maintenance issues.  The solution is our patented lightweight yet strong Sing core technology.

Finishing a door blank:

There are two types of finish for door blanks:  paint grade and wood grain.  Paint grade includes such finishes as metal, Masonite, marine plywood, etc.  Wood grain finish includes such finish as solid wood stave and thin veneer.

Why Use Solid Wood Instead of Veneer?

solid wood composite door planks any size thickness true flatNever settle for substandard veneer doors again. Door engineers prefer to use inexpensive veneer as opposed to real solid wood facings because veneer is thought to be less likely to warp, bend or twist.  But thanks to the super-strength of patented Sing Core technology, you can use solid wood stave and wood blanks with confidence knowing that your door can be guaranteed true flat and will stay flat.

How can a solid wood-faced door stay true flat? As every woodworker knows, when using a solid wood surface, the grain will move according to moisture or temperature change causing the door to fail. When using our patented Sing Core as a substrate you can safely use solid wood because the solid torsion box/honeycomb patented material is continually keeping the wood grain straight and true.  Whereas wood stave has more wood fiber giving it more of a chance to warp than thin veneer due to the unbalance of the both side of the door moisture contents, patented Sing technology solves this problem by combining stiffing skin on both side of our patented Sing core.  This Sing panel technology eliminates the troublesome movement of the door blank — warping is no longer a concern when wood stave is combined with patented Sing core.

In addition, solid wood is easy to work with, install (no need to hot press), repair and remodel.  That’s why professionals trust Sing Core’s years of expertise in helping to design the only wood stave doors (that look just like solid wood doors) that can stay straight and true for many decades while respectfully honoring the beauty and elegance of solid wood, which far outlasts easily-damaged veneers, yet can be sanded and repaired if necessary.

Celebrate your real wood!

solid wood stave door planks lightweight honeycomb guaranteed 50 yearsOur Eco-friendly lightweight, high strength alternative is the best   solution for combating the issues associated with weight and size,   especially large doors.  Only our patented Sing torsion box/foam   composite core combined with our years of experience provides   guaranteed solutions for oversize doors.

That’s why this technology is found everywhere, from beneath the sea   (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in-between.

Sing panels may be finished in almost any wood species, like   mahogany, redwood, teak wood, cherry wood, walnut wood, cedar   wood, Ipe wood, sapele wood, poplar wood, ebony wood, ash wood,   oak or any other hardwood or exotic wood types available.

This same wood blank composite technology is also a common solution for high-end projects like engineered hardwood flooring, shiplap, wood furniture, wood shelves, decking, shed doors or any other application demanding high precision and exemplary performance over time.

How is wood stave/veneer added to Sing panels?

Wood stave is added directly to the metal or wood skin our patented Sing cores.  Wood veneer is added to an 1/8-inch mdf attached to the metal skin.

Aloha Non-warping Hawaiian Large Doors

Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii, where Professional Sing non-warping doors are making an impact.

3 views of best pivot door lightweight high strength non warp insulated pivot doors

Hawaiian door manufacturer sought out Sing Core in search of a non-warping exterior door solution for rigorous climate variances especially large oversized sliding doors and pivot doors.

During the free consultation, the manufacturer explains that large doors are known for warping top to bottom, but people don’t talk much about warping side-to-side, which makes it a constant struggle for latching and sealing the door. These are the constant issues that face the makers of large exterior doors.

Large oversize non warping wood pivot door insulated modern pivot doorsThe specifications for the door included a natural Sapele wood stave exterior which complicates the door project even more because the innate natural wood grain will have a tendency to warp, bend and twist according to changes in temperature and humidity.

Door manufacturers find it hard to believe that inventor Peter Sing would be willing to, “put his neck out on the line for 50 years.” It is this 50 year non-warp and structure guarantee that intrigues manufacturers of larger doors, especially if the door specs include exposed solid wood.

The undeniable fact is, patented Professional Sing Core is the only way to build a lightweight, high strength non-warp door. And Sing Doors are guaranteed not to warp – top-to-bottom or side-to-side – for 50 years including full structure guaranteed also.

We are the best door substrate for doors, not just in the continental USA, where we are best-known but also in Alaska and Hawaii, when it comes to the most prestigious big doors.

Here’s an example of a 98” x 84” x 3” Professional Sing Door with custom lite cutouts for a modern pivot door presentation and 1/8” Sapele wood stave exterior, weighing in at only 250 lbs.

Sing Sandwich Applications

What Can be Done with Sing Sandwich Panels?

You might be surprised to discover the wide range of possibilities that exist with the invention of Sing Sandwich panels.

The versatility of this new breakthrough in Eco-friendly building material is lightweight high-strength building material is making headway from under the sea (the US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and could be used for endless applications.

Aerospace

Here is an example of Sing sandwich panels being used in the aerospace industry, being used as framing for aircraft mock up. This material is only ¾” thick and features a rugged aluminum surface material that allows the engineers to have the lightweight, high-strength and structural integrity that exceeds the specifications of any other honeycomb material used in the aerospace industry.

And – to top it all off – this material is easy to work with, requires no special tools and can be handled just as you would traditional ¾” plywood.

Large Doors

We don’t make doors, but our panels make the best doors in the world – especially large oversize doors. And only we can guarantee that your door will be true flat and stay flat for 50 years regardless of size.

You can use Sing Sandwich panels that are conveniently available  to DIY engineer your own best solution for your next do-it-yourself door project.

Even though we don’t do the door finishing, we supply the high end millworks and door manufacturers with the only large door substrate that will not warp, bend or twist and our professional line can be guaranteed for 50 years against warp, bending, twist or cup.

Carriage Doors

It is unmistakable that the Sing Sandwich is changing the way garage doors are being made. This unique material can help the garage door builder create a door that is flat, insulated and resistant to warp and/or rot, yet extremely affordable.

For example you could make a set of $8,000 Carriage Doors for a very small cost to you for the basic materials and your resulting doors would far out-perform any other type of carriage door available today.

Building Structures

Using the Sing sandwich as your construction material you can build frameless buildings and structures in a fraction of the time with very little manpower, little or no heavy equipment and less risk of on-the-job injury.

We’re excited to see communities embracing this technology, especially those forward-thinking enough to loosen the reins on private builders by allowing 800 sq ft structures to be built without a permit.

Tiny Houses

Sing Sandwich is growing in popularity amongst the tiny house community as the Eco-friendly lightweight high-strength building material of choice for tiny houses that are stronger than 2×4 stick-built structures, yet are frameless.

Imagine being able to build a tiny home on wheels and being able to drive around town, or across the country.

Trade Show Displays

Certainly, Sing Core can help high-end designers build the best trade show displays on the planet, but this is now within the reach of the do-it-yourselfer who would like to build their own modular trade show displays by picking up our Sing sandwich panels.

Guaranteed True Flat?

Yes, due to the unique properties of the Sign sandwich panel the resulting product will be more lightweight, high-strength and flatter than anything built with any traditional building material.

We do offer free true flat consultation to our wholesalers, retailers, consultants, contractors, engineers and architects who would like our true flat guarantee on our professional true flat solutions. Certified true flat professional Sing products are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or rot for 50 years and are based on our expertise of helping designer achieve incomparable results for years.

Aerospace Technology Torsion Box Panels

Sing Core is providing new, space age solutions to old technologies that have been used in transportation industries for years.

sing-core-used-in-aerospace-international-aircraft-lightweight-high-strength-tru-flatYou might be as surprised, as much as we are, to find that many leading-edge technologically advanced transportation manufacturers who build the most high-tech aircraft, boat and train vehicles and containers often use old technology in the ground support of the manufacturing process.

Industry-wide, aerospace, marine, mass transit, rail and trucking industries are now starting to upgrade ground support systems for their manufacturing process that has not been updated since the late sixties.

Temporary Floor Upgrade

For instance, while building a large project, temporary floors are used during the manufacturing process. In many cases, these floor s need to support the weight of carts, instruments and heavy equipment as well as bear the weight of the heavy trafficking construction crews without fail.

The traditional method dictated that plywood (often metal clad) would be cut in the exact shape and size of actual flooring that would be installed following the manufacture. This temporary flooring system has been used for years, and though it has become customary to use it, it is simply not as practical as using an advanced system like Sing Core’s.

aerospace-maintenance-repair-and-overhaul-temporary-floor-systemCustom Size for Perfect Replacement

The Sing Core temporary flooring system is a new advancement for these industries increasing ground support exponentially, by delivering, custom-sized flooring panels that are exactly the same dimensions as final finished flooring, yet have the following attributes:

  • Are true flat with minimal deflection even under weight bearing loads
  • Lightweight, reducing labor and transportation costs of assembly and disassembly
  • Designed to withstand regular vehicular weight, movement and stress
  • Last longer, reducing repair/replacement

Regular Maintenance or Periodic Overhaul

Whether your application is in the original manufacturing process or for regular aviation maintenance checks and periodic overhaul, Sing Core temporary floor system will provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) shops with the lightweight, high strength, superior solution for your next D check heavy maintenace visit (HMV).

Fewer on the Job Injuries

prevent-slip-trip-and-fall-accidents-with-sing-temporary-flooring-solutionsAccording tot he U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) slips, trips, and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents and 15% of these lead to accidental deaths. Avoid the hazardous employee or contractor exposure by upgrading your existing temporary floor solution to the more effective Sing temporary floor solution.

Traditional plywood temporary floor treatments are less effective and potentially dangerous in comparison and may actually contribute to more potential on the job injuries. Plywood is heavy and difficult to maneuver, transport and breaks down over time becoming frayed and causing exposed slivers which could lead to compounding injuries during installation and removal.

Protect your staff with sing temporary floors. Sing temporary flooring can support high-traffic, weight and heavy construction activity without fail with high PSI (independently tested at the University of Washington at 660 PSI) and little deflection over long spans (as little as 1/32, or more) for a more secure working environment preventing risk. And handling Sing temporary flooring prevents injury during installation, dismantle and transport due to being much lighter weight when compared to other materials and does not easily breakdown over time, like plywood which is heavy and not as strong (even if aluminum-clad).

torsion box animationFloor Openings

Sing temporary floor solution is an effective way to protect construction and maintenance workers who are working in large aircraft, sea vessels, ship yards, marine terminals, construction sites, stairwells, rail cars, elevators or skylights to avoid injury due to worker slip and fall or protection from falling equipment or debris.

Temporary Food Service Floor

Other temporary floor uses include temporary food service flooring used in mobile or seasonal eateries, restricted menu establishments, bed and breakfast kitchens and food service caterers.

Overhead door

Overhead-Door-Panel-is-StrongThe overhead door is so popular due to mass production with thin gauge metal at low cost, even so we see many overhead door companies utilizing the Sing solution in their designs.

This is what most of American homeowners are looking for even it is easy to dent. If you use your garage as a shop or living space it has little or no insulation. Even if it is well insulated overhead, there’s virtually no way to make it air tight like carriage door. The good news is the sing carriage door is low cost and can be the new standard of garage door.

The revolutionary solution for overhead door.

Carriage door

CarriageDoorPanelsUnfinishedThe carriage door is the way American home’s garages used to be made before overhead doors become popular. But due to the high price, heavy weight and not being insulated well and warping leading to air and temperature leaks – especially in the winter due to the movement of the wood (low temperatures made wood carriage doors shrink and summer heat make the doors  expand).

The biggest concern about carriage doors is that they are too expensive. You could spend over $4,000.00 for a 8 ft x 7 ft carriage door and over $8,000 for a 16 ft opening garage door, but none of those framed carriage doors will be easy to install due to the heavy weight and if they’re not perfectly straight. If it warps then it will leak the air and many times even otherwise adequate gaskets cannot stop the air leak.
