Making your dreams come to life are quick, easy and painless with our new Sing Slot Panel designs that could be used in endless applications…

Here’s a story from a fan who used indoor micro-sizing concept based on tiny house concepts to reduce winter hearting costs:

Sing Slot Panel Testimonial

I just wanted to offer a sincere debt of overwhelming gratitude. I have a modest but large home that generates an exorbitant amount of energy consumption, especially in the winter to heat. This became completely unmanageable when I got laid off from my regular employment.

Living alone, I thought, if I could just minimize my heating requirements, I could increase my chances of survivability while downsizing without having to sacrifice my home.

Sing Slot Panels fit the bill. In a few hours I was able to reduce the heatable inner dimensions of my home to several individual boxes. My kitchen and bathrooms are already well-contained and easily heated when in use. The Sing Slot Panels helped me to quickly build a small bedroom within my bedroom, small living room within my living room and small office within my office.

And when I have the family or guests over, I can easily disassemble and store my downsized rooms, so no one’s the wiser.

This has saved my life and my home, while I only heat the space that I need.

Thank you,

D Marturion, Blaine, Washington

Core Value of Steel Doors
It is how steel door shapes the future by invention of Sing Core.

See: Steel Door Gallery

Steel door technology has not made any major improvements since the development of EPS core which has higher insulation for replacing the paper core and wood based core used previously. Sing Core uses reinforced EPS or urethane foam to fill the voids of the structural torsion-box-like vertical veneer in those highly insulated Sing products, and… Viola! You have the strength which is approximately 30 times stronger than any other regular door made of foam. Steel doors made of patented Sing Core is the leading edge door technology that provides more insulation, strength and extremely lightweight. The end result is more Eco-friendly door; stronger and lighter weight without using heavy gauge steel but creating an even stronger steel door. Click here to see the steel panel regular foam vs. Sing core

Achieve the security, safety and elegance of the most economical, advanced steel door technology to your entryway with Sing Metal Doors made in your choice of high quality stainless steel, galvanized steel or cold rolled steel.

This photo features a fully insulated 13 ft. x 3 ft. x 1 inch steel door with 20 gauge metal under 160 lbs. of load with hardly any deflection. No steel studs, no welding. See pix of steel panels ready for door applications.

Sing Steel Doors are the only insulated Eco-friendly steel doors that can be guaranteed true flat thanks to patented Sing Core’s torsion box/foam composite base material that not only ensures flatness at the time of manufacture but stays flat for centuries.

Lightweight

Honeycomb-Skin-Material-Options-Metal-AluminumYou get it all; Huge savings in heavy weight when compared to solid steel while exceeding standards of high-strength and built-in insulation backed by our limited lifetime guarantee at a fraction of the cost. It’s why we say, “Heavy does not mean strong – and light does not mean weak.” Sing Steel Doors weigh much less than other steel doors and do not require heavy steel reinforcement studs to achieve the high strength. Steel doors made Sing Core do not need expensive, heavy duty hardware required by regular heavy steel doors.

High Strength

Compared to solid steel doors, Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound. Patented Sing core could reach 1000 PSI strength vs. paper honeycomb core traditionally used in the steel industry and is changing how steel doors are made. Sing steel doors will not dent or kink like regular hollow core, paper core or foam core steel doors.

Economical

Patented Sing Core costs a fraction of high-end honeycomb substrates, like those used in traditional aerospace applications, and still outperforms any of them in lightweight, high-strength, eco-friendly economical solutions bar-none. And that does not even take into consideration the reduction in transportation/installation costs and reduction in maintenance and repair costs over time.

No Welding

no-welding-free-metal-fabrication-lightweight-eco-friendly-stronger-than-steelSing Steel Doors are manufactured without welding which reduces labor costs, environmental and health hazards and our patented method will not compromise the integrity of the steel surface of the steel door, like welding does. No need to compromise the integrity of your steel doors by incorporating the most high precision Sing Core (+/- .006 inch) material and our patented metal fabrication process.

Sing Door Core

Applications -> Building Components -> Doors -> Sing Door Core

singcore sheet 2What is Sing Door Core?

  • It is the patented foundation of all Sing Doors
  • May be the core of true green revolution, if you believe in
    • the renewable structure of Sing Door Core
    • saving energy
    • lightweight
    • high-strength
    • affordable

Sing Core is based on torsion box technology that has been used in the wood working trade for thousands of years, and is often compared to lightweight core, honeycomb core and other composite building materials in the industry. It is also compared to SIP (structural insulated panels) with the exception that structural insulated panels actually do not have the structural grids that are necessary for strength, making SIP less than 10% the strength of Sing Core.

  • dimension: 12 inch x 48 inch to 4 ft x 8 ft
  • thickness from 1/2 inch to 6 inch.

See More information on: Sing Core

Compare to Other Types of Door Core

Paper Door Core

The most popular core material used in retail doors is paper core also known as cardboard core and honeycomb core. The most attractive feature of paper core is that it is light weight, nearly as lightweight as hollow core, with very little added strength. These lightweight doors are often used in apartment buildings and housing units because they are lightweight and less likely to injure children in door-related accidents. The downside is that there is no structural integrity and it is not long before the door fails due to warp, bend or twist. Paper core doors also have no insulative or sound-deadening qualities and are fairly easy to damage as it does not take much to puncture, crack or break a paper core door.

Foam Door Core

The next most popular core used in retail doors is foam core. While still yielding a lightweight door, much like the paper core, it also does not have any strength. Foam has a very low compression strength (+/- 10 PSI) resulting in high failure rates, and will not remain straight as the only strength in the foam core door is provided by the exterior skin material. To achieve strength, more heavy material must be added to the surface of the door, cancelling out the lightweightedness of the door. While a stronger foam core door may be extremely heavy due to reinforcement, the foam will offer some insulative value and limited sound deadening.

Particle Board Door Core

Particle board is the third-most popular core used in retail doors. Customer seeking a higher quality door than paper or foam core are often persuaded to purchase the particle board core door because it appears to be a real door, especially when compared to the lighter weight doors on the sales floor. The heaviness of the door implies that the door has strength in comparison to the less expensive paper or foam core doors; only much heavier, particle board doors do not offer much additional strength, and commonly fail over time (though it is harder to punch-through a particle board door than a paper or foam core door).

LVL Door Core

LVL door core is a reasonable solution for door core, as it consists of multiple layers of veneer bonded together to make a solid core material. The problems that result from LVL come from resulting in an extremely heavy door that will not survive changing temperatures very well over time. Though it does have some warp and twist resistance, failure is experience in the long term effects that lead to delamination. Once the lamination in the door’s interior begins to fail, the door will not function properly and may become unsightly.

Solid Wood Door Core

Solid wood core is expensive because it uses a large amount of precious natural resources and for traditional enthusiasts it is sought out for the sake of originality and/or trueness to nature, though it is not a responsible use of natural resources. Solid wood doors have no insulation or sound deadening qualities are heavy and have little or no structural integrity due to the nature of the characteristics of the natural grain. The solid wood doors often fail due to bend, warp, twist and will not be able to secure properly.

Balsa Wood Core

There are several advantages to using balsa wood as door core. Balsa wood is an excellent alternative to other types of core, because it is a natural organic product, but the problem is that it is in short supply making it a more expensive resource and does not fare well when exposed to water (acting like a sponge soaking up water and moisture). Also, since it is a natural wood grain source material, it is prone to warp, bend and twist, just like any other natural wood fiber door core.

Plastic Core

Plastic door core is a good upgrade from paper core in that it is still lightweight, is resistant to moisture but doesn’t offer any other benefits over paper core except for a minor increase of strength. Plastic core is still weak/unstable, non-insulated and can be damaged or will fail easily within a short lifespan.

5x20 ft Galvanized Steel Magnetic Sign Display Panels Lightweight High Strength Guaranteed true flat

Galvanized steel Sing panel (above) is made of 20 gauge thickness .40 inch thick and weighs 1.65 lbs. per sq. ft.

Sing galvanized steel is lightweight, insulated, stronger than steel pound for pound and just one of the metal panels in the Sing Metal Collection.

Sing galvanized steel features a less expensive exterior finish that is impervious to the elements resisting rust, wear and tear and rot more effectively than other forms of metal surface materials.

While remaining structurally sound, galvanized metal treatment reduces maintenance due to incidental damage or compromise.

The galvanized surface can sustain damage without compromising the protective surface material.

One of the most impressive attributes of Sing galvanized metals is these steel panels are not limited in size, including large and oversized without having to join separate pieces on job site. Available in almost any length, width, thickness… even custom shapes.

For instance, our most popular sized Sing galvanized steel panels are 5 ft. wide by 20 ft. long. We do this every day, and each one is the Eco-friendly alternative that is proudly Made in the USA of the same structural material that is used as substrate prior to adding wood-based door surface material (or paint grade) true flat doors featuring our 50 year guarantee to be true flat and stay flat. These galvanized steel panels excel in temperature resistance, high tensile strength and durability.

Sing galvanized metal is sought after for industrial signage, building industry, trade show displays, store fixtures, furniture manufacture, marine industry, and due to its unique ability to outlast other materials with superior corrosion resistance.

Other trending applications include automotive industry, construction, electrical towers, large magnetic signs, equipment enclosures, sheds, tiny houses, ramps, temporary bridges, modular temporary buildings, structures and flooring, industrial machine shops and assembly lines.

Galvanized steel equipment enclosures

Used in your manufacturing plant as a high precision work bench as an alternative to traditional cold rolled steel or wood base work benches that are made of solid material. The traditional solid material will move according to the temperature or moisture change. Alternatively,  Sing galvanized metal panels are made of patented Sing Core – which is made of 90% air – and will have little or no movement, especially when compared to any other solid material. Sing core is made with +/-  .008 inch instrument grade precision or less unlike average wood or metal which could not match such high tolerances.

MAGNETIC GALVANIZED PANELS

Sing galvanized magnetic panels are great for displaying artwork, documents, pictures and important information while maintaining your great interior design. Perfect for any location including the office, kitchen, kid’s room, and garage using magnets to display so you don’t damage your originals.

Used as exterior signage, magnetic and/or display panels, Sing galvanized delivers high precision and superior performance results. Perfect for use as a magnetic wall in the home or office for organizing your data center.

Depending on your application(s) and specification(s) only Sing galvanized metal panels can be guaranteed to remain structurally sound for 50 years (though they are designed to last for centuries).

Sing-composite-lightweight-metal-panels-aluminum-stainless-steel-galvanized-high-strengthIntended for use where greater corrosion protection is required without painting. Sing galvanized steel panels are lightweight and therefore require less manpower, heavy equipment and/or transportation costs.

This provides the end-user with huge cost-saving for delivery and installation more safely with the added advantage of saving on-the-job injuries.

When evaluating Sing galvanized metals for damages, a simple visual inspection will reveal whether or not the surface material has been compromised to the point of requiring maintenance.

The most cost-effective severe weather resistant material without compromise for strong hurricane proof* building material such as walls, roofs and/or floors for any emergent or disaster application perfect for battling hazardous weather conditions.

Sing 4×8 Galvanized wall panels are also used as roof panels, wall panels, trailer siding & roofing, billboards, kick plates, floor plates, curtain walls, movable house, display trestle, vehicle wagon, yacht interior & exterior, building exterior wall face-lifting, balcony, comportment, moveable metal storage shed and  food truck walls.
