Types of Warp-free Wood

This new, patented light wood can be made of different types of wood to make the strongest wood building material that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist and remain structurally sound for 50 years. You can have the following warp-free wood panels with SingCore inside:

Ash Wood Panels Beech Wood Panels Birch Wood Panels
Cedar Wood Panels Cherry Wood Panels Fir Wood Panels
Fruitwood Wood Panels Hard Rock Maple Panels Hemlock Wood Panels
Hickory Wood Panels Knotty Pine Wood Panels Mahogany Wood Panels
Maple Wood Panels Oak Wood Panels Pine Wood Panels
Port Orford Cedar Panels Red Cedar Wood Panels Red Oak Wood Panels
Rosewood Wood Panels Spruce Wood Panels Sugar Maple Wood Panels
Teak Wood Panels Walnut Wood Panels White Oak Wood Panels

… Just to name a few, as warp-free Sing wood panels can feature any wood surface, including rare, exotic wood(s) when available.

Lightest Wood

The patented Sing technology creates a composite made of natural vertical grain torsion box substructure filled with recycled rigid foam to create a lightweight and strong substrate that when sandwiched between two pieces of any two wood skins, results in creating a composite lightweight wood panel that can be ripped, sawn and CNC cut just like any other piece of traditional plywood.

strongest wood stronger than steel pound for pound and lightweight

Strong Wood

The same torsion box composite core that makes all Sing wood weigh-in at a fraction of other solid materials also creates a wood panel that has been independently tested at 660 PSI – that’s stronger than steel pound for pound – which could qualify it as among the strongest material on earth.

It is so strong, that you can see thin panels spanning large areas with little deflection without additional support.

Light Strong Wood

Now you can use this revolutionary light strong wood building material for practically any project. Of all the endless applications of Sing Core, large oversize doors are the most popular use of this light strong wood for doors. Why? Because wood fails, it warps bends and twists, creating problems throughout all phases of the construction process.

Strongest Material on Earth

Most exciting about this patented breakthrough in materials science, is the fact that it can be made of any flat building material, like ceramic, concrete, fiberglass, glass, HPL, LVL and other materials, so it is not restricted just to being the strongest wood. You may already know that Sing Core also makes the

Strongest Metal

With just as much impact in the metalworking arena, Sing Core’s strongest metal is also the lightest metal, that pound for pound out performs other metals, even steel. So, if you’re looking for the strongest steel, the most lightweight steel is made with Sing Core inside.

Isn’t it time you considered replacing your extremely outdated heavy steel panels with Sing Core’s lightweight steel? Keep in mind it could be any kind of metal, because sing Core is that incredibly versatile.

Any metal can be made into a Sing Metal panel that is Eco-friendly, lightweight and high strength.

For instance, these carriage doors are bifold doors that feature all the characteristics of having SingCore inside. The best proof is large wood exterior doors facing both Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as we work with the best door companies from coast to coast in the USA. In this example, the exterior wood doors in this home are all perfectly straight on these weatherproof non-warping doors, even though they feature wood stave on the exteriors exposed to the moisture, sun, wind and rain of coastal weather patterns. Still these doors can be fully guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including structure) for a full 50 years. That’s right

Guaranteed for 50 Years

Make a Whole Wall Disappear

Then there’s this case; What if you wanted the whole exterior wall to be a door. Here’s a job where the client wanted to whole exterior wall converted to bifold doors. No problem, if they have Sing Core inside.

Just an ordinary exterior wall. Right?

Extraordinary exterior bi fold doors!

Plus, if your invisible door has Sing Core inside, you get the added safety and security of having a fully insulated sound deadening folding retractable wall which is also highly effective in maintaining consistent temperature control on either side of the building, inside or outside.

Large garage doors are the best example of what can be possible with would have previously been thought of as impossible doors. That is to say doors that were too large were assumed to have problems because all big doors fail. Even so, to minimize failure, they are manufactured using very heavy materials and expensive hardware to mitigate the failing doors, only to add more stress and strain on the existing structure. In this regard, the big door business is lucrative, due to the ongoing maintenance contracts associated with large door problems.

Insulated Doors

True space separation between two adjoining areas (i.e., interior and exterior) is a difficult expectation for any door. Even though a door might looks attractive from a distance, the truth of the matter is seen from the other side of the door. The built-in insulation inside the patented Sing door core not only provides effective climate control, but offers advanced sound deadening qualities. Sing door cores have been used inside soundproof doors and everything from bulletproof doors and fireproof doors.

Save Energy

Why waste energy by having a door that doesn’t seal properly as your exterior door? Everyone knows that a good door seal helps prevent energy loss saving on energy consumption. Having warp-free doors means your doors seal properly without leaking every time, regardless of the season, temperature or time of day. You can save energy – not only from the insulated that is packed inside for better temperature control – but also from having a secure door seal that does not fail due to warping, if your door has SingCore inside.

Sliding Door or Pivot Door

Reduced to its simplest form, these insulated warp-free doors could also be exterior sliding doors and/or exterior pivot doors with all the same great characteristics that come with having SingCore inside.

Click to see: Sliding Doors and/or Pivot Doors

Inside Or Outside

Only SingCore can accomplish all this – and more – providing you with the strongest, lightweight, insulated door core that can be guaranteed not to fail for a full 50 years , including warp-free and structure guarantee. No other door company can guarantee their doors, like that, unless they have SingCore inside.

If doors with SingCore inside can obtain such high performance standards as exterior doors, imagine having doors to match throughout your entire house, because our patented door core also makes the best interior doors for your home’s inside points of egress. If we can guarantee your exterior door for 50 years, we could guarantee your inside doors for 100 years.

Why not have the best?

Specify, “SingCore inside,” for all your doors.

The only way to keep any large oversized door from warping or otherwise failing is to make the large door with SingCore inside as this is the only method providing a full 50 year warp-free guarantee, but that’s not the only reason SingCore is specified by the most prestigious architects or requested by demanding clients specifying doors with SingCore inside.

SingCore Door Characteristics

The world’s best and most expensive doors that have SingCore inside are imbued with unique characteristics that are more commonly requested by luxury homeowners of mansions, like Eco –friendly, lightweight, high strength, warp-free, insulated and fully guaranteed. Here’s why:

Lightweight

Helping door manufacturers deliver high end doors that are lighter in weight than standard solid doors, means less labor and risk of injury on the job site. Also, it equates to increased economy and reduction of service calls due to hardware failure due to added stress and strain on both the structure and hardware due to heavy weight doors.

High strength

No light weight door core material is stronger. In fact SingCore has been independently tested and rated at 660 PSI, that’s stronger than steel pound for pound, which also enables SingCore doors to be made…

Warp-free

Patented SingCore doors can be made to be warp-free using composite technology of SingCore and patent pending warp-free technologies that can be guaranteed to remain warp-free and be fully guaranteed for full structural integrity for 50 years.

Insulated

The patented insulated reinforced torsion box core is packed with insulation that offers the benefits of both greater climate control and sound-deadening qualities on either side of the door with SingCore inside.

The Only Warp-free Large Door Guaranteed

Large doors used in high end construction, luxury homes and mansions cost between $10,000 and $50,000 and all of them either are guaranteed to warp or guaranteed not to warp for (at the most) one year… except for one.

Our #1 job is to serve the door companies who make the best doors, so they can deliver warp-free doors to their most discriminating clientele.

$20,000 Door + 1 year = Warped Door

Warping large doors are burning moneyWhen a customer requests and the architect specifies a large door, especially a large sliding door or large pivot door, most door manufacturers will be reluctant to build it. If they do build it, they are not likely to offer a warranty for warping or structure failure because, unfortunately, large doors will warp.

Some offer a one year warranty and charge an extremely high professional for the large door, because they know it is likely that the door will warp. They install the door and pray… after one year has passed (either with or without service calls to straighten the door due to seasonal changes), they wipe the sweat from their forehead, then the burden for maintenance of the large door fall on the customer.

Large doors present a high degree of challenges because large doors (over 7 ft. tall) will warp.

The Only Warp-free Doors

Guaranteed for 50 Years

True Flat Guarantee premium certified true flatEvery door manufacturer who has sought out Sing Core as their large door solution knows there is no other way to make a hassle-free non-warping large door.
In fact, Sing Core door substrates are the only composite door core material that can be guaranteed not only to be warp-free but also maintain full structural integrity for a full 50 years.

High-end Door Manufacturer’s Secret Ingredient

Sing Core works with high end door manufacturers and millworks specializing in the most exotic oversized (therefore problematic) doors.

“When the door manufacturer calls us, they know, we know, everyone knows that custom large doors will warp. We help them solve the problem so they can deliver a product that will not fail to their clients who desire only the best doors without fear of warping.”

If you’re seeking out a high-end door that does not warp, ask your door manufacture to build your door with Sing Core Inside.

Infinite Structure

Patented Sing Core infinite torsion box 2x2 structure grids insulation

Infinite 2×2 in. grids filled with rigid foam

Sing Core’s internal vertical grain torsion box structure is reduced to form 2 inch x 2 inch grids and the torsion box voids (empty spaces) are not left empty; they are filled wall-to-wall with rigid foam insulation to add shear strength and form a high precision (.006 in. tolerance) solid composite substrate. The grids run infinitely in all directions throughout the door core resulting in a warp-free, lightweight (a fraction the weight of other heavier materials), high strength (660 PSI) that is pre-insulated (R3.5-R5.5).

Is There Any Other Way to Make a Warp-free Door?

Yes. There are many ways to make a steel door that does not warp. These large steel doors are extremely heavy (thousands of pounds). To address the issue of weight, lighter weight steel doors are made by using a steel frame (with internal steel pipe substructure) welded to thick steel exterior to make the steel door lighter than a solid steel door.

10 ft x 5 ft x 2.25 inch center pivot door solid maple wood stave warp free

Solid Maple Wood Stave 10 ft. x 5 ft. x 2 1/4 in. Warp Free Center Pivot Doors

Even so, not only is the resulting door still extremely heavy, it is hollow in between the inner steel structure. This space between the inner steel framing is left open, i.e., hollow. There could be 8 to 12 inches between steel bars (or other type steel interior frame) of nothing, only hollow space.

Normally, steel doors – while they may not be a problem for warping – are less high precision due to all the interior welding necessary to manufacture the steel door. To increase the steel door’s precision, the door can be made slightly oversize and machined to straighten the surface area imperfections.

Sing Steel Doors

On the other hand, steel doors made with solid Sing Core door substrate are Eco-friendly, lightweight, high strength and high precision (Sing Core is +/- .006) as well as fully insulated for temperature/climate control and sound deadening qualities. See: Steel Doors

New Large Door Technology

Eco-friendly Sing Core technology is changing the landscape of all large door manufacturing. Sing door core substrate can be used to manufacture any type or style of door in any size (up to 50 ft.) with any exterior material, including wood doors made of any available natural wood species, aluminum doors, ceramic doors, concrete doors, fiberglass doors, glass doors, HPL doors, Kevlar doors, Masonite doors, plastic doors, steel doors (cold rolled steel doors, galvanized steel doors, hot rolled steel doors, etc…), just to name a few…

Lightweight Strong 3/4 inch MDF Torsion Box Cabinetry Panels

Sing Sandwich cutaway exposing patented Sing CorePatented Sing Core is bringing the latest development in lightweight and high strength technology to visit the cabinet industry. Imagine being able to use a lightweight building material that is commensurate with high-tech aerospace technology at 20 percent of the price.

This new cabinetry alternative to MDF 4×8 sheets delivers many times the strength of solid MDF at a fraction of the weight with no headaches. Sing MDF cabinetry panels come in 4×8 and 5×12 sizes in convenient 3/4 inch thickness.

How are 3/4 inch Sing cabinetry panels made?

Start with patented Sing torsion box (2×3 inch grid size) where the voids are filled with recycled rigid foam insulation wall to wall with and sandwich it all between two sheets of 1/8 inch MDF and bond it altogether with formaldehyde-free adhesives for an Eco-friendly lightweight high strength composite MDF panels that out performs any other lightweight building material in terms of strength, weight and longevity.

Compare to other lightweight panel material

Compared to any other lightweight panel building material, like honeycomb panels made of paper honeycomb, aluminum honeycomb, cardboard, or even high-tech aerospace panels (costing five times as much per sheet) Sing 3/4 inch cabinetry panels are a bargain at twice the price.

Secret Ingredient Inside

High precision lightweight high strength warp resistant insulated reinforced torsion box Sing Core high performanceThe secret ingredient inside the Sing 3/4 inch cabinetry panels is the torsion box composite core that is the same product used by the US Navy and other high tech industrial applications where strength and weight are both considerations. This is the same technology used to build large doors – of any size or style – that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for a full 50- years.

Imagine having this material inside your cabinetry and/or furniture… Say, “goodbye,” to disposable furniture and heavy cabinetry which are highly desirable qualities sought in aircraft, marine and recreational vehicle platforms for both less weight and less maintenance over time.

Lightweight high performance cabinetmaking material

Lightweight Sing Bookcases

Lightweight Sing Bookcases

Even though plywood and particleboard are fairly standard fare in cabinet shops around the world, certain high end cabinet makers are seeking to embrace this new technology which is the perfect combination of old (torsion box) and new (composite) fine woodworking craftsmanship. Plus (as you undoubtedly already know) both plywood and particle board are heavy and prone to warp and rot; unlike Sing 3/4 inch torsion box cabinetry panels.

Structural integrity

The structural integrity of these hybrid cabinetry panels surpasses anything know in the affordable lightweight composite material and is increasingly finding its place amongst the transportation and general construction categories as an impressive upgrade alternative to plywood or other materials.

Built-in insulation

Sing composite cabinetry panels feature built in insulation (the rigid foam insulation filling the torsion box voids) that is a unique added feature whether you are building cabinets and/or other furniture.

Easy to work with

Standard woodworking tools are all that is required to take full advantage of Sing cabinetry panels, treat them just like you would any standard 4×8 piece of 3/4 inch panel.
Sing cabinetry panels are revolutionizing the industry as they are increasingly being found as a standard commodity in cabinet shops, millworks and furniture manufacturers throughout the United States and the world.

Edges

Sing cabinetry panels have unfinished (exposed, i.e. you can see the core) edges. This is easily remedied by adding edge trim, or closing the edge by any method desired. Also, the core material can easily be routered to accommodate insertion of wood implants where desired or necessary.


Simply CNC router out Sing Cabinetry Panels to insert any desired material.

Center for Architecture & Design – Seattle, Washington

In an effort to reach out the greater worldwide community from its headquarters in Seattle, SingCore has partnered with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Seattle in the design and building of the new 4,500-square-foot Center for Architecture and Design in the National Building located at 1010 Western Avenue in Seattle, Washington.

SingCore is offering matching funds and donations to local AIA chapters to specify patented Sing products in the designs of their local center for architecture.

As a Platinum supporter, we’re excited to be providing CFAD Seattle and AIA Seattle with donations to raise the bar for architecture and design using patented Sing products for doors, walls and furniture for their center for architecture. We are currently in the process of similarly supporting the Austin Center for Architecture in Austin, Texas.

12′ x 10′ x 5″ Custom Pivot Doors

Four 12 ft. x 10 ft. x 5 inch SingCore panels were designed for CFAD Seattle as a jumbo pivot door that splits a conference room into two halfs. Each panel weighs about 500 pounds, which allows the door to move easily as shown below. Each door was installed in less than a half an hour.

huge extreme edge pivot doors in seattle center for architecture design sing core

FAIA Mr. Peterson is a senior architect for Suyama Peterson Deguchi (SPD) responsible for providing the solutions to build the multi-function 4800 sq. ft. space by creating a gallery that could be converted to a conference room within minutes to hold secure meetings within the center itself. It needs a special pivot door when it open it is a large gallery, when those 4 doors closed it become a conference room. All the furniture, work tables, islands and counter tops are quickly and easily assembled on site

About the large pivot door: Mr. Ric was able to accomplish the door solution by teaming up with inventor, Peter Sing, whose lightweight, high strength building material made it all possible without the use of heavy equipment, lifts and cranes. After being invited to join the project, Sing offered to supply not only the doors but almost the rest of all the office furniture, partitions and even part of the dining table/work table and cabinets in the lunge and office areas – all made of patented Sing panels, same core materials to build those 4 large pivot doors.

 

sing pivot doors in center for architecture design seattle with man doorsGreen building materials are the focus point of every architecture design now-a-days. As the home of the architect and design community for State of Washington, which is the leader in high tech and advanced materials playground for searching the planet for green, earth-friendly products is essential for this new home for all designers and architects.

In the temple of Seattle’s Center for Architecture & Design, the evergreen state sets the standard for promoting the highest standards of preserving our green earth among the Pacific Northwest architectural community while seeking out new ways to approach a more sustainable approach with building products that save energy and add longevity to the overall life of projects around our local communities and the world.

The idea of a local design center is not new, but the Seattle design center is the leading edge of this new technological approach to new office designs; bringing to life the idea of a multi-functional design combining office space, media, meeting and a gallery to promote green design permeating all areas of life and our society.

It all starts with the composer / architect of the project; with Ric Peterson’s design of Suyama Peterson Deguchi, while leading the team of the designer of the total project which includes a varied line up of suppliers, general manufacturers and fabricators to tackle the most challenging job to represent the state’s finest architects and designers. When all is said and done, the resulting space in this center represents the new philosophy and concept of engineering for a better world within the office space that has superior functionality as it is easy to maintain and built with the longest lasting building materials.

The symphony’s composer is Ric Peterson, FAIA of Suyama Peterson Deguchi was charged with the challenge of creating a design center work of art. The score is conducted by general contractor / conductor of the symphony, Krekow Jennings supervising all components while acquiring and arranging the performers (trade professionals such as sub contractors) participating in the creation of the newest chapter in executing the design by using green building materials made locally, produced with less energy and waste used throughout this project. The resulting masterpiece is a modern office, meeting room and gallery in a picturesque downtown location as a perfect showcase for professional trades and an inviting exposure to the general public. The whole job will not happen if without all the support from the donor of their trade skill to help such as painters did all the paint work for the furniture, and Schuchart/Dow craftsmen did all the assembly which basically started from patented Sing Panels, all in flat-pack which is easy and takes up less space for shipping to the job site avoiding damage during transport, and the end result is a new chapter of this ornate symphony of building art; simple, functional and elegant.

These unique large extreme edge pivot doors were manufactured in Washington state using patented Sing Core as the embedded structural core material. those door had added two more layers of material on the job site to create sound deadening and fire retardant features, Even with his lightweight, high strength core material, the wall feels as though it is made of solid stone, when you knock on it.

All the furniture features adjustable legs to maintain work surfaces at high precision instrument grade levels. Up to 8 foot clear span work areas are neat and clean while keeping all power and other cords neatly hidden from view by an embedded wire management channel system that is an effective design component within the work areas. Single piece partitions that span up to 12 feet provide privacy and security while standing flawlessly amidst the efficiently accurate space.

Not resorting to raised level work areas provides an effective approach to cleaning and maintenance of the floor space that is both easy and saves time. all the wiring are hidden within the desk top and shelf channels, instead build raise floor as most commercial office space which takes more space and more assembly time and lose more precious space.

Completing the symphonic work, Sing and his patented product “Sing Core” is joining the team of suppliers that is bringing the dream of Seattle’s design symphony to life.

Hearing about this project might cause you to wonder how an entire facility of this magnitude could be quickly and easily assembled out of multiple integrated modular panels. This is the first time such a grandiose project has been built completely of lightweight high strength panels that are not only sound deadening but are resistant to warp, bend or twist, even while covering long spans and featuring natural wood surfaces.

Thanks to Sing’s lightweight material, it took less than 2 hours to unload and install those huge pivot doors (weighing-in at only 500 lbs.) and three craftsmen assembled and installed all the office and lounge components and furniture. Sing Core it the new Eco-friendly building material that has helped to create the strongest most lightweight office furniture ever invented in the world, creating endless possibilities to provide architects, engineers and designers the ability to provide sustainable long-life office furniture and so much more…

High end large sliding doors are costly and can host expensive or exotic woods. Natural wood is in the highest demand in mansions and luxury homes because of its innate natural beauty. Nothing is more elegant that the beauty of natural wood grain. Likewise, nothing is more problematic.

Natural wood grain warps, bends and twists due to its natural properties. If a sliding door (especially a large sliding door) warps, it can compromise the hardware, surface finish, and the structure itself. Plus a sliding door what warps can be impossible to maintain a good seal for separation between rooms, when used as a sliding room divider, or interior and exterior, for energy savings and protection from the elements.

Only sliding doors with Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.
