Want to have complete control over a large space, in your home, conference center, hotel, museum or art gallery? One of the best ways to accomplish controlling your large space is by using sliding room dividers to divide and conquer your space. What’s more, if your sliding room dividers are insulated for sound deadening between spaces all the better. Sing Core makes the best sliding room dividers that are Eco-friendly, lightweight (10% the weight of wood), high strength (660 PSI, stronger than steel pound for pound) and fully insulated for sound dampening and climate control between spaces.
When architects are designing a space with the inclusion of sliding room dividers, they want to be certain to imbue the sliding wall with the characteristics necessary to deliver the results the client wants. While the style, format and layout of sliding partition walls vary across the board, the key characteristics of a sliding room divider are functionality and performance. If the job is a very high end job, the client also seeks to find high precision and maintenance-free longevity, as well as insulated sliding wall divider.
You have the flexibility and control to create a massive sliding wall or a consecutive series of sliding room divider doors, sliding barn doors, large sliding doors, even a full line of folding sliding doors, for easy opening and closing, either as a single man door for access between the adjoining areas, of slide all the sliding partition doors aside to completely open the area altogether. You will find Sing sliding wall partitions used not only as sliding room dividers, but also as art gallery walls and museum exhibit walls, like in the Museum of Science and Industry design.
Imagine being able to ship your sliding room dividers to any location at a fraction of the cost. How? Since Sing Core sliding wall components weight a fraction of the weight of other sliding doors room dividers, you can ship wooden room dividers at a fraction of the cost by reducing the weight by 90%. The lighter weight sliding room dividers makes them easier to work with on site and allows you to use lighter weight hardware, which reduces the cost immensely (sometime due to the weight of sliding door room divider the hardware can cost many times the cost of the sliding partition doors themselves).
You want your sliding room dividers to operate with ease without being a threat of potential injury. Other types of sliding room dividers can have painful consequences. Not only are they lightweight, but your Sing sliding room divider is no slouch when it comes to being every strong. The inventor says you can kick through any other sliding door dividers, but if you kick a Sing sliding wall divider you will break your leg.
Folding sliding doors , also referred to as accordion style room dividers, add an entirely new charm to the idea of sliding room dividers in that they are easy to operate and stack conveniently to either or both sides of the space being separated. Sing Sliding folding doors are the perfect match for your sliding stacker doors and can feature any flat surface material including any available natural wood species, aluminum, ceramic tile, cold rolled steel, copper, fiberglass, FRP, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, Kevlar, LVL, MDF, stainless steel or veneer, just to name a few.
Sing sliding door dividers are pre-insulated with insulation packed throughout to imbue your sliding door partition with added sound deadening characteristics which greatly enhances the overall performance of your Sing sliding dividers. Now you can enjoy both sound dampening and effective control of heat or cold on either side of your sliding partitions.
So, if you’re looking for the best sliding room divider doors for your museums, mansions, high rise condos, especially if you’re looking to incorporate large sliding doors room dividers (up to 50 ft. tall) then Sing sliding room dividers are going to be the best bet for you and your clientele.

Sliding Doors
The deal with sliding doors is that you want your sliding doors to remain straight and true throughout their service life. Architects, designers and end users face the issues associated with the problems associated with sliding doors, such as,
Problems with Sliding Doors
The first problem with sliding doors is that they tend to move (warp, bend, twist or cup) compromising the doors’ performance. Especially in the case of sliding doors because they hang parallel to a wall (like sliding barn doors), another door (such as double sliding doors) or within a wall (like sliding pocket doors). If the door does not stay straight, it can wreck either the sliding doors or the surfaces they slide against, or both.
Heavy Sliding Doors
One way to deal with the problem of warping sliding doors is to build them using extremely heavy and warp resistant materials, such as steel, which introduces whole new set of problems, which will increase maintenance costs over the life of the door. Even though the heavy sliding door may not warp, it will require expensive heavy duty hardware (which can cost many times the price of the door itself) which can easily be compromised due to regular use, as well as the added stress of using a heavy door, will add stress and strain to the frame and structure, also requiring additional maintenance over time. Some architects and designers might consider using a lighter weight metal, such as,
Aluminum Sliding Doors
Of course, aluminum sliding doors make more sense; though contemplating the use of solid aluminum sliding doors will still introduce the problem of heavy weight. One way to manage the weight of the door is to use a honeycomb material, such as aluminum honeycomb, paper honeycomb or some other type of honeycomb material inside the otherwise hollow core sliding door. The only problem with that is that as you introduce a lightweight substrate, the door begins to warp again, especially if they are exterior sliding doors.
Wooden Sliding Doors
Ah, the elegance and beauty of natural wood. We love it and exotic wood grains can instantly garner the awe and attention of anyone spying a large sliding door made of wood. This is why many large sliding doors are wooden sliding doors. As magnificent and appealing as they are, wood is the worst culprit of all, because it can barely sit still for as long as you can. Due to wood’s natural characteristics, it is most prone to warp, bending, twisting and cupping, because even separated from the tree, it still fights for survival and the grain will either expand or contract due to the elements it is presented with. Exterior doors are the most problematic because one side faces the interior space, while the other side faces the elements outside, a perfect recipe for door warp.
Large Sliding Doors
The bane of perplexed custom sliding door manufacturers is the additional challenges with doors which are taller than 7 ft. tall and wider than 3.5 ft. Very few, if any, custom door manufacturers or millworks will even consider guaranteeing a door over seven feet tall. Why? Because they know it is going to fail, and they will be called upon to deal with it. In most cases, the job as a whole will have a warranty on the work done, with the exception of the large sliding doors which are normally noted as exceptions to any warranty that might cover the rest of the job. That is, unless you know the answer to the problems associate with large sliding doors.

Imagine Your Sliding Door Design
The strength of contemporary architecture design is in the creativity limited only by the imagination of the individual envisioning the concept, look and feel of the project at hand. In a perfect world, your sliding door visualizations and ideas translate well to the real world. In many cases what is seen in the mind’s eye exceeds (sometimes far exceeds) the limitations of available building materials, time or budget constraints (because any sliding door design is possible given enough time and money).
Limitations of Sliding Door Design
When translating visionary sliding doors to the real world, certain limitations are imposed on those with their feet on the ground, whose responsibility it is to bring your sliding door dream to life. These limitations include such things as the Law of Physics and the specific characteristics of the available materials used to materialize your most exquisite sliding door design.
Our team of best sliding door professionals have years of experience trouble-shooting and solving the problems associated specifically with unique sliding door designs. Here are some of the problems associated with sliding doors which we can provide solid solutions for (including our 50 year warp-free guarantee) regardless of the size, style or functionality of your sliding door design.
Sliding Door Sizes
Sliding doors, just like any other type or style of doors, vary in accordance with the materials used and the overall size of the door which determines the weight of the door. Large oversized sliding doors, particularly those over 7 ft. tall are so entirely problematic that no door company will warranty them for more than one year because they cannot maintain optimum precision or door performance over time due to the sliding door’s mass. Yet, even large exterior sliding doors with SingCore inside can be fully guaranteed for 50 years not to fail, regardless of size (up to 50 ft.). So, now you can release the previous limitations concerning size and embrace the idea of very large sliding doors, even floor to ceiling sliding doors and sliding partition walls that will make your design shine for years to come.
Sliding Door Weight
Sliding doors best operate within a delicate balance between size and weight, where weight can cause problems associated with the structure, the sliding door hardware, and the regular trouble-free operation of the sliding door. SingCore’s highly specialized staff can help to engineer doors to be lightweight (1/3rd or more the weight) of other solid core doors.
How do you make such a lightweight door? We use patented insulated Sing reinforced vertical grain torsion box core inside which makes the resulting door so much lighter than other solid core doors. Fore instance one door company replaced a series 25 foot tall sliding doors weighing in at 1,100 lbs. with Sing 25 foot sliding doors weighing in at a mere 198 lbs.
Sliding Door Hardware
Next up is the sliding door hardware, which is also most closely associated with the sliding door weight. In fact, the weight of the sliding door dictates which hardware is to be used. In the case of heavy sliding doors, heavy duty industrial sliding door hardware must be used. In the case of heavy sliding doors, the sliding door hardware can be the most expensive part of the sliding door design, costing many times the price of the sliding door itself. Also, regular use of a heavier sliding door will create maintenance problems with the sliding door hardware over time.
Sliding Door Warp
A warping sliding door is problematic in that it can not only compromise the operation of the sliding door itself but also can create additional strain on hardware and damage other surfaces which parallel the sliding door. In the case of a sliding door concealed within a cavity, like a pocket sliding door, a warped sliding door can become entirely inoperable.
This is particularly common in wood sliding doors due to the nature of the natural wood grain; it moves. Even though wood grain is the most prevalent culprit in on site sliding door failures, sliding doors made of other materials may also warp as designers, engineers and contractors attempt to mitigate the problems associated with the weight of heavy sliding doors by creating a lightweight composite sliding door. Though the issue of weight is addressed, the strength of the door is only as strong as its sliding door core material. Therefore, lightweight composite sliding doors made of other materials besides natural wood are subject to failure due to warping also.
Sliding Door Solution
SingCore is the premiere one-of-a-kind solution to all problems associated with sliding doors, eliminating the challenges of:
WEIGHT – HARDWARE – WARP
While adding attribute inherit with having patented SingCore inside, such as
LIGHTWEIGHT – HIGH STRENGTH – INSULATION – WARP-FREE
And the Sing Core is only solution fully backed by our
50 YEAR WARP-FREE SLIDING DOOR GUARANTEE
Which includes full structure warranty for 50 years. No other siding door can do that, unless it has premium SingCore inside, helping not only to bring your sliding door designs to life but deliver to you and your customers the most insulated airtight lightest and strongest sliding door available today, guaranteed.
The lightweight and high-strength attributes of SingCore are spanning the globe as designers, architects, and project managers continue to specify their projects have, “SingCore Inside.”
SingCore is the secret ingredient in building projects – especially those of large size and components with long spans – where certain challenges become apparent in translating the creator’s vision to real life.
Many problems associated with large, oversized projects or elements become apparent when attempting to bring an original design to life, mostly concerned with weight and strength.
Until now, very strong building materials were heavy in weight. This extra weight creates problems for the structure in terms of stress and strain over time. Lightweight building materials may be substituted for the stronger heavy ones, but compromises are made which may compromise the strength and integrity of the project.
This is the quandary facing development teams and precisely the point where SingCore provides the solution to the problems facing developers of large projects.

37 ft. Tall Pivot Doors
If you’re designing a conference center with 40 ft. ceilings and need a row of 37 ft. tall pivot doors to act as room dividers, you are going to be faced with the issues concerning strength vs. weight. In order to keep the 37 ft. tall doors from warping, your design team is faced with the challenge.
If you dared to think, “What if I could have it all?” If it were possible, you would like to have insulation for its sound deadening qualities and climate control. Then you could just hang insulated baffles, but you would compromise the function of have pivot doors and they could easily fail as they have no strength.
Problem solvers would suggest that aluminum or steel could solve the problem, but the weight of a 37 ft. tall pivot doors would be very, dangerous to install and very expensive for the 37 ft. tall pivot doors, as well as the heavy duty pivot door hardware, which would probably cost many times the price of the large metal door itself.
This is the common paradox facing the designers dealing with the weight vs. strength issue, especially in large doors.
This is where SingCore shines as it rescues the plight of engineers and contractors fervently attempting to bring the designer’s vision come to life. SingCore is the only Eco-friendly, insulated lightweight, high-strength building material that outperforms other lightweight building materials so much, that it is the only material that can be used to build a large non-warping door of any size in any application.

Warp-free Doors
It is now not only possible, but proven, that you can build a warp-free door of any available flat building material – even as problematic a building material as natural wood grain – and have the resulting door be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.
No other door can compare to the insulated lightweight strength of doors with Eco-friendly premium SingCore inside.
How Lightweight?
The weight of SingCore is easily one-third the weight (50% to 87%) of solid wood.

In most cases, a large pivot door is very heavy in weight, this requires additional shipping, handling and may require additional heavy equipment to handle the large pivot door on site as well as requiring heavy duty pivot door hardware which based on weight can be many times more expensive than the large pivot door itself.
When your large wood plank pivot doors have SingCore inside, they can weigh-in at 3 lbs. per sq. ft. Your 10×10 pivot door could weigh 300 lbs.

If you’re a millwork who answers the call of exclusive and demanding clientele seeking large doors or a high end custom door manufacturer, you’ve already sought out information on how to build a torsion box door because the only large doors with some degree of stability and are not extremely heavy are torsion box doors.
You may have already had the experience of going through the painstaking arduous process of building your own torsion box core to form the basis of your custom large door. For those who may be asking, “What is a torsion box door?” It requires creating a grid of boxes side-by-side. These boxes help to create a push-pull interior structure for the torsion box door which can feature exterior materials (or skins) of wood (or some other flat building material) that counteracts the natural characteristic of organic woods to warp, bend and twist. While this is a very labor intensive and expensive process, it does help to create a lightweight structure with the ability to have less deflection over a long span. Besides torsion box doors, you also see torsion box solutions for large torsion box tables and dead flat torsion box work surfaces.
As you might imagine this is a time consuming rigorous task, especially if you’re considering small torsion boxes within your torsion box door, which is many times more difficult. The smaller the torsion box grid size, the greater the strength and warp resistance of the resulting torsion box door. The most common torsion box grid sizes are four to six inches.
Fortunately, SingCore offers a superior torsion box door core material that is many times more effective than building a torsion box door core yourself, pre-insulated and structure-enhanced and pre-manufactured at an affordable price.
Anatomy of a Sing Torsion Box Door
First of all, SingCore pre-manufactured torsion box door core starts with small torsion box structure grids in three sizes: 3×3 inch, 2×3 inch and 2×2 inch torsion box grid sizes. These small torsion boxes provide a high degree of stability, but that’s not all there is to the patented SingCore torsion box.
To increase the strength of the torsion box structure, inventor Peter Sing flips the wood grain in his torsion box core material. While most woodworkers use horizontal grain wood to build their torsion boxes, Mr. Sing uses vertical grain wood which increases the strength of the torsion boxes themselves many times over. But he doesn’t stop there.
His patented torsion box design also packs the voids of the torsion boxes (that would normally be left empty) with rigid recycled foam wall-to-wall, which when glued and pressed between stress skins results in a solid sandwich panel with unparalleled insulated structure and shear strength, while remaining very lightweight.
Now that you know, you could go ahead and build your own super duper torsion box door, or you could let SingCore do all the heavy lifting for you because that’s all we do.
At SingCore, all we do is build the best torsion box core for the best torsion box doors in our factory located in the pristine Pacific Northwest.

The latest innovation in slatwall panels is the lightweight high strength slatwall solution from SingCore. When it comes to slatwall the Sing solution is the Eco-friendly answer to the limitations of other kinds of slatwall. Many high end users of slatwall now can enjoy the nearly unlimited flexibility and versatility of Sing lightweight slatwall panels available in nearly any flat surface material.
PVC Slatwall Panels
Among the many types and styles of slatwall available today one of the most popular is the PVC slatwall panels from SingCore. PVC panels offer many advantages when compared to traditional slatwall panels. Often SingCore is the solution to challenges and problems facing engineers and contractors, in the case of PVC slatwall panels, there is a tendency for the PVC slatwall to fail due to warp. A PVC wall panel without proper structure and laminate will be problematic if you’re hanging something heavier than basic lightweight hand tools or printed materials.
Sing PVC slatwall panel s are pre-laminated onto Sing Panels which replaces a fully framed section of wall. This is highly advantageous for rapid structure building as no other framed wall is necessary, which means that many Sing PVC slatwall panels can be joined together for division or separation of a space and may include pre-installed cam locks for easy assembly and disassembly, as in the case of our modular trade show displays which offer slatwall panels as an option.

When you’re dealing with high end large doors, long conference tables and oversized casework, you need to deal with a reputable millwork company who is highly qualified and well versed in many Architectural Woodwork Standards which help to create high precision products. Being a member of the Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) is an excellent way to assure the woodworking professionals you are working with are knowledgeable and proficient in their woodworking capabilities.
The highest quality standard endorsed by the AWI is Premium, yet some clients have much higher performance and expectations which raise the architectural standards across the board. The architect is faced with specifying the standards the client desires, which may far exceed AWI Premium standards.
One such common request includes high performance expectations for components which AWI maintains low expectations.
For instance, if the client’s desire is to have a 12 foot tall wood pivot door with little or no deflection or door warp, there is no matching AWI standard. The standard for allowable deflection in a 7 foot tall door including warp, bow, cup, or twist is 1/4 inch. There exists no official standard for doors over 7 feet tall, and millworks and door companies are likely to require a signed waiver from the client signing-off on any expectations of warranty on any greater than 7 foot tall doors.
Even though 1/4 inch warp is recognized as a reasonable amount of deflection and allowable by AWI standards, in some cases the expectations of the client still remains. The architect specifies the desires of the client and it is up to the millwork company or door manufacturer to determine how it might be possible to create an enormous warp-free door of any size.
Fortunately, AWI members can reach out to AWI suppliers, like SingCore, who specialize in helping to design and create warp-free doors of any size, type or style.
The true-flat experts at SingCore are extremely proficient in creating warp-free panels of any size which can be structurally guaranteed not to fail or warp for 50 years. So, if the rest of the job is guaranteed for 10 years by the millwork conducting the work, then offering to warranty the entire job – including the large oversized doors – then becomes reasonable.
Prior to coming to SingCore one door company simply stated, “All large doors warp and cannot be guaranteed under any circumstances.” Now, thanks to utilizing the services of certified warp-free SingCore doors, the company can deliver the results according to the architectural specifications and expectations of the customer.
Not simply restricted to doors, the ability of SingCore to provide extremely flat large surfaces of any material that can be guaranteed to remain flat over time spills over into many other products and services.
Common surface materials include any available natural wood species, aluminum, brass, concrete, cold rolled steel, fiberglass, FRP, glass, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, MDF, stainless steel, veneer or any other commercially available flat material.
SingCore is increasingly being architecturally specified as the standalone solution for many large exterior projects where particular components are exposed to the elements as well as interior woodwork, panel work, partition work, casework and fixtures as supplied or manufactured for all types of buildings across many industries including retail, commercial, hospitality, industrial and high end residential industries.
You might be surprised to discover how more and more architects are specifying SingCore in their woodworking, metal, laminates, plastics, fabrics, design work, finishing and installation.
AWI members know if they are faced with a problematic large oversize project with challenges associated with insulation, weight, strength, high precision or high performance, reaching out and suggesting,
“SingCore Inside”
Is the only solution which can be guaranteed for 50 years.
“This is why we like working with AWI members,” says CEO and inventor of SingCore, Peter Sing, “They know how to work with our solution to their challenges.”
