About Metal Doors with Sing Core Inside

Metal doors which are made using the patented and patent-pending Sing Core technologies are celebrated around the world as being the best metal doors in the world.

Why Do You Need Sing Core Inside Your Metal Door?

Metal Door Problem

Its well-known metal doors are neither Eco-friendly nor sustainable solution and they have the potential to fail more often than not for a variety of reasons. Metal doors warp when hit by the sun’s rays, or exposed to heat or cold, and if there are varying environments on either side of the metal door, such as an exposed exterior metal door, you know trouble is not far away. Also metal doors are extremely heavy which causes hardware or the structure to fail due to added stress and strain due to the heavy weight. Plus, the bigger the metal door, the more likely it will fail and require expensive maintenance calls to repair or replace.

Metal Door Solution

THAT is why you need Sing Core inside your door. Using Sing Core is the only way to build an Eco-friendly sustainable lightweight solid core metal door that is stronger than steel and comes with a full warp-free and structure guarantee for 50 years.

Cold Rolled Steel Large Metal Door

 

  1.  

    It’s very important that sliding doors be operable, especially in the arenas of bypass sliding doors or double sliding doors, and if your sliding metal doors are large in size, or in use as steel security doors, then other challenges must be taken into consideration in the architectural design and specification of your metal sliding doors.

    Architectural specifications requiring Eco-friendly, lightweight and high strength metal sliding doors must be spec’d with, “Sing Core inside” to achieve these specifications. There are other benefits of having Sing Core inside your sliding metal doors, such as being pre-packed wall-to-wall with sound deadening and climate controlling insulation, and so much more.

    Metal Automatic Sliding Door

    If you’re dealing with a metal automatic sliding door, you can have virtually hassle-free installation and very little maintenance over time is your metal sliding doors are lightweight, high strength and warp-free. When sliding metal doors start to fail, bend or warp, it causes undue stress on both the automatic sliding door hardware as well as the structure that houses the hardware. This can cause expensive maintenance issues over time. Unless your sliding metal doors have Sing Core inside.

     

    Warp-free Metal Sliding Doors

    Only metal sliding doors with Sing Core inside can be guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years. This means your sliding metal doors can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years, including the full structure warranty of the door. Plus, the lightweight and high strength characteristics of the door, means less maintenance necessary over time, truly a breakthrough in architectural metal sliding door design specs.

Sliding Wood Doors

The only 50 year warp-free guarantee and full structure warranty

Sing sliding doors make the best sliding wood doors in the United States and around the world. No other Eco-friendly lightweight sliding door core is stronger. Weighing in at a fraction of the weight of solid wood door core, patented Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound (660 PSI). This is the only way to make large oversized sliding wood doors that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

Each professional sing sliding wood door can be guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years, including a full structure warranty. This is why Sing Core sliding wood doors are making such a huge impact on the door industry across the USA and abroad.

 

Any type or style of sliding wood doors can be made with Sing Core inside, such as exterior sliding doors, sliding barn doors, interior sliding doors, sliding patio doors, sliding room dividers, French sliding doors, stile and rail sliding doors, just to name a few.

Patented Eco-friendly Sing Core sliding wood doors are proudly made in the USA, using sustainable manufacturing methods using less energy, with responsible use of recycled and renewable resources, including natural wood fiber, producing little or no waste or loss of energy, leaving a negligible carbon footprint.

There is just no other way to make 20 ft. tall sliding wood doors that will not warp. Wood is a very difficult resource to use for anything over 7 ft. tall because of its tendency to move, especially in exterior sliding wood doors. For instance a sliding wood door that faces the elements on one side and the structure’s interior on the other is going to warp. That’s why no door company guarantees warp resistance of a wood door for more than one year, that is, unless it has patented Sing Core inside.

So, how can you get sliding wood doors with Sing Core inside? It’s easy, just go to your favorite architect, sliding door manufacturer, mill work, or sliding door company, and tell them what size door you want and be sure to ask for, “Sing Core inside.” We cannot sell or ship Sing Core doors directly to consumers or do it yourselfers, as we are the manufacturer supplying Sing Core sliding door core only to door manufacturers and builders of custom doors.

Large oversized wooden doors are the greatest hurdle facing architects and designers, because though there is little more impressive than a huge wooden door to catch your attention, so the bigger the better, but then there’s the issue with warping, which is a constant struggle for the owner to secure regular maintenance of such a beautiful door, likely at least seasonally.

Thanks to having Sing Core inside, you will never have to worry about warping doors again. While they are built to last for centuries, each professionally guaranteed Sing wooden sliding door can be non-warping and include a full structure warranty for 50 years. No other Eco-friendly, lightweight, high strength can have such a guarantee in the world.

And what if you’re looking to build a large sliding door out of a material other than a natural wood grain? No problem, your sliding doors could be made out of any available flat building material, such as aluminium sliding doors, cement, concrete, fiberglass (FRP), glass, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, MDF, steel (cold rolled steel, steel diamond plate, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, etc.) as well as the only unbreakable mirror sliding doors, just to name a few.

Sliding French Doors

One of the best uses in emerging technologies attributed to the Sing Core solution for sliding doors is that of sliding French doors. In the scope of sliding French doors, the door is framed with a significant amount of solid material detail, such as is found in wooden sliding doors or aluminium sliding doors, but the main visual feature of the doors is a large pane of glass, similar to that of a glass sliding door. The result is a French sliding door which features the best of both worlds, an elegant frame with a large glass opening (lite opening).

Sliding French doors are more common in exterior uses, such as sliding patio doors.

Sliding Patio Doors

 

Sliding French doors make fabulous sliding patio doors which can feature many patio sliding doors in a line to offer greater visibility between the indoors and outdoors. Plate glass sliding door can be extremely heavy and may risk injury of little fingers which may be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The lighter weight Sing sliding door solution helps mitigate the risk of injury from sliding patio doors, while offering increased safety and security as wells as a degree of insulation which would not be possible for a simple sliding glass door left to itself.

Sliding Internal Doors

While sliding doors are used to separate the indoors from the outdoors, increasingly they are finding their way inside the home in a variety of sliding internal door applications. Sliding internal doors appear in a variety of sliding door designs. The most modern sliding doors are stylistically fashioned after the sliding barn doors of yesteryear.

Sliding Barn Doors

Sliding barn doors are set apart from other types of sliding doors due to the type of sliding door hardware which is a major component of the design of the sliding barn doors. Sliding barn door hardware traditionally is on top of the door from which the sliding barn door hangs. Exposed wheels roll back an forth on an exposed track, which gives the impression of an old style rolling barn door, like you might have seen out in the country or in old movies, or TV shows depicting barns which featured this type of sliding barn door.

Though the architectural sliding door design features may vary depending on the presentation, as the sliding barn door surface material may have a rustic appearance, or a highly polished modern sliding barn door appearance, which may feature wood, or other more contemporary sliding barn door materials.

Sliding Wall

One of the most popular uses of an interior sliding door is the concept of the sliding wall, which is not unlike the sliding patio door design, but usually features a solid door facing which could be either wood or some type of metal, such as aluminum sliding doors or steel sliding doors, used as a method to provide insulated separation between adjoining rooms, or dividing a large space into two or more separate rooms, while still retaining the large space, when needed. In this case, sliding doors room dividers can be sliding internal doors, feature barn door sliders, or a combination of folding sliding doors, depending on the architectural specifications of the sliding partition wall units.

Wooden Sliding Doors

Wooden sliding doors are the most problematic doors due to Mother Nature’s wood grain’s tendency to move according to the environmental conditions within the proximity of the faces of the wooden sliding door. In this sense, the door can seem very alive as it tends to bend or cup. This is one of the primary benefits of featuring Sing Core inside any type of wooden sliding door because it’s the only known method of creating a strong, lightweight, solid core wooden sliding door that can be guaranteed not tio warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

 

Warp-free Sliding French Doors

Sliding French Door Specs

Sliding French Door Specs

The only known method for manufacturers of sliding French doors to create a warp-free sliding French door is to start with patented Sing Core’s insulation reinforced torsion box composite solid core material with patent pending warp-free technology to prevent the large oversize sliding door from failing for the service life of the wooden sliding doors, which would otherwise fail. Sing Core provides the sustainable Eco-friendly lightweight,  high strength, torsion box composite technology to sliding door manufactures that can be guaranteed warp-free for 50 years.

A sliding door that moves can jeopardize the sliding door lock, making it difficult, if not impossible, to secure. Let’s face it, a door that cannot be secured, is not much of a door at all. While warp-free is a huge advantage of sliding doors with Sing Core inside, another benefit is huge savings in sliding door hardware and maintenance over time.

Sliding Door Hardware

The weight of the sliding door determines the size and nature of the sliding door hardware to be used to accommodate the sliding door’s operation. Whether the doors operation is as an automatic sliding door, or manual sliding door operation, the sliding door mechanism and hardware must be suited to the weight of the door. For heavy sliding doors, the sliding door hardware could cost many times the cost of the sliding door itself, which includes the sliding door handles. Fortunately for sliding doors that have Sing Core inside, they weigh a fraction of the weight of other solid core doors, which accounts for being able to utilize lighter weight sliding door hardware to match the sliding door, which also reduces stress and strain on both the structure and the hardware over time saving time and money over the life of the sliding door.

Sliding Door Repair

Of all the materials with which a sliding door company could build a sliding door, Sing Core is the most sustainable Eco-friendly material made in the USA, and can easily be repaired on site. For instance, in commercial sliding door operations, heavy equipment could damage the door, such as being punctured by forklift forks. If the doors are made of other traditional core material, the entire door might have to be replaced. But if you have Sing Core inside, the door can easily be repaired without compromising the high performance, precision, strength, security or insulation qualities of your sliding door with Sing Core inside.

Wooden Sliding Doors

Wooden sliding doors are the most sought out sliding doors in the marketplace today. Increasingly, among contemporary architecture design the latest designs feature not only wooden sliding doors, but wooden sliding doors that are larger in size. Even though these large wooden sliding doors are highly sought after, the nature of the natural wood in wooden sliding doors does present some challenges.

 

Wooden Sliding Door Problems

Wood is Beautiful but Unstable

While we all appreciate the natural beauty of wood, the fact remains that this material comes from a living tree and naturally adorned with grain that is unique to each variety of tree giving it the elegant design feature of natural wood grain. The nature of the wood grain when we are so drawn to is also the most problematic feature when trying to create a sliding door which can remain straight enough to function properly. Natural wood grain, while it appears to be elegant in every way, moves as if the tree were still alive. In the sliding door industry sliding door manufacturers and those servicing sliding door accounts, there are specific words used to describe the conditions of wooden sliding doors when they fail, such as warp, bend, twist and cup.

Allowable Wooden Sliding Door Warp

Due to the nature of wood to warp, the AWI standard allowable warp for a door up to seven feet tall is a quarter of an inch of warp. ¼ inch warp in a 7 ft. door is considered a straight door. For wooden sliding doors over 7 ft. there is no limit to acceptable warp due to the nature of natural wood and its tendency to move subject to changes in the environmental conditions on either side of the door. The most problematic wooden sliding doors are exterior sliding doors because one side faces indoors, while the other side faces the elements. Interior doors have fewer problems with sliding door warp, but if they are over 7 ft. tall, will continue to present problems with sliding door warp.

Wooden Sliding Doors Are Heavy in Weight

The weight of natural wood is another issue to take into consideration when entertaining the idea of including a large wooden sliding door in your project’s design. Heavy wooden sliding doors will create added expenses very early on in the inclusion process, such as the added cost of shipping and handling. Moving the door from point A to point B will incur expenses based on the wooden sliding door’s weight. After the heavy sliding door arrives on the job site, installers must manhandle the door, and use heavy equipment to help maneuver the door on site. Additionally, a heavy wooden sliding door will require heavy duty sliding door hardware, which may cost many times more than the wooden sliding door itself.

Wooden Sliding Doors Have No Insulation

Large wood sliding doors vibrate, like a speaker, transferring sound from one side of the door to the other, which may not be a problem if your location is in the remote wilderness. Besides sound transfer, loss of energy is significant as wood is unable to maintain climate separation from one side of the door from the other, which is also many times more problematic for exterior sliding doors or doors separating two spaces that may have separate activities occurring on either side (such as office, meeting or recreational spaces).

Wooden Sliding Door Solutions

Warp Free Wooden Sliding Doors

The true flat team at Sing Core has a proven track record of providing warp-free sliding door solutions of any size (up to 50 ft.) based on its patented reinforced torsion box composite core and patent pending stiffener and straightening technology that enable them to make the only large sliding doors that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend twist or otherwise fail (including full structure warranty) for 50 years.

Wooden sliding doors with Sing Core inside are the most dimensionally stable Eco-friendly lightweight and high strength (660 PSI, stronger than steel pound for pound) sliding doors made in the United States of America.

Lightweight Wooden Sliding Doors

Thanks to the Sing wooden sliding door solution, wooden sliding doors can be made lightweight without compromising strength. Hollow core doors are lightweight but are relatively useless and insecure but better than leaving the doorway empty. A lightweight door does not have to be weak, thanks to patented Sing technology that enables door manufactures to create a lightweight door that is stronger than any other known door core material, and weighs a fraction of the weight of any other solid core wood-based material.

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

Patented Sing Core solid wood stave sliding door blanks feature the newest technology in the door industry for composite sliding doors yielding the only eco-friendly, lightweight, fully insulated, high-strength sliding 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 sliding door versus regular-size sliding door challenge (i.e., over 4 feet wide and over 8 feet in length):

Large sliding 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 warped sliding doors.  The solution to the challenge is to use patented professional Sing door blanks to make your sliding doors.

Sing Core wood stave door blanks help door manufacturers to create the only solid wood sliding doors that will not warp, bend, twist or cup following installation.  This means no more continuous service calls for maintenance of big sliding doors that cannot possibly stay straight due to the limitations of solid wood – or any other sliding door core – that is subject to failure.  Sing sliding door blanks 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 Wooden Sliding Doors:

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

Exterior Wooden Sliding Doors:

Sing sliding door blanks make sturdy exterior doors in any style.  With Sing sliding door core, exterior sliding doors are lightweight and strong, even when oversized.  Our professional wooden sliding 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 sliding door core materials are either not high precision, too heavy or will move when exposed to moisture, humidity or change in temperature resulting in sliding 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 wooden sliding door technology.

Finishing a wooden sliding door blank:

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

Why Use Solid Wood Instead of Veneer?

Never settle for substandard veneer sliding 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 wooden sliding door can be guaranteed true flat and will stay flat.

How can a solid wood-faced sliding 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 patented solid torsion box composite 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 patent pending stiffening materials throughout our Sing core.  This warp-free Sing wooden sliding door technology eliminates the troublesome movement of the sliding door blank — warping is no longer a concern when wood stave is combined with reinforced 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 sliding doors (that look just like solid wood sliding 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!

Our 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 sliding doors.

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

Sing sliding door blanks may be made using 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 sliding door 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.

Domestic Wood Grain Plywood Sliding Doors

As an alternative to wood stave, domestic wood grain plywood could be used to create a nice wood grain surface, even for large sized wooden sliding door applications.

Note the seam is tight but visible when joining two pieces of domestic plywood together to create a large panel.

How is wood stave/veneer added to Sing panels?

Wood stave is added directly to the metal or wood skin of our patented Sing cores.  Wood veneer may be added to an 1/8-inch mdf attached to the metal skin.  Call us for a free consultation on the best option for your project.

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.

Sliding Door Design Problems Solved

Architects and engineers are constantly perplexed with the problems associated with sliding doors, fortunately an Eco-friendly composite solution made in the USA, helps to solve the problems associated with faulty sliding door design. Patented Sing Core, along with their true flat door team, can help to create sliding doors that will remain straight and true far beyond the service life of any other sliding doors. By working with Sing Core’s design staff a combination of Sing Core and patent-pending sliding door stiffening solutions can create perfect sliding doors that are lightweight, high strength and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup or otherwise fail for 50 years.

The Perfect Large Sliding Doors

The best custom door manufacturers and millworks who offer long warranties on their large doors have a secret inside each one of their high end professional sliding doors: Sing Core inside. A properly designed and built large sliding door with patented professional Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years. How do you know if you have the best large sliding doors in the world?

Sustainable Long Life
Made in the USA

When your sliding door company claims they are providing you with the best sliding doors possible, you can rest assured your large sliding doors will pass the perfect sliding door test by being manufactured using Eco-friendly Sing Core which uses less energy, renewable, sustainable and non-toxic ingredients to create its vertical grain torsion box composite core. Sing Core sliding door core is lightweight, weighing approximately 10% the weight of solid wood-based door cores. The high strength of Sing Core outperforms any other sliding door core material, independently tested to rate at least 660 PSI, which makes it stronger than steel pound for pound.

Other sliding door core materials do not create a high precision base due to product production inconsistencies or welding, while Sing Core is the most high precision at +/- .006 inch. Only perfect sliding doors manufactured with Sing Core inside can remain warp-free. Sing Core is fully insulated imbuing the best sliding doors with climate control (R rating) and sound deadening qualities (STC rating*) for greater safety and security. Professional Sing Core sliding doors can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup or otherwise fail (including full structural warranty) for 50 years, assuring your large sliding doors sustainable long life, while being proudly made in the USA.

Yes, you read that right. The perfect large sliding doors are the only ones that have a

50 Year Guarantee

Now you know you have the perfect large sliding doors, if they have Sing Core inside.

Other Types of Sliding Doors

You can enjoy all the available types and styles of large sliding doors that can accommodate and size without compromising strength or weight, such as sliding French doors, patio sliding doors, mirror sliding doors, folding sliding doors, sliding pocket doors, double sliding doors and sliding folding doors, just to name a few.


Now that you know how to determine what are the best large sliding doors are supposed to be, you can get the perfect large sliding doors wherever you find custom sliding doors for sale and tell them you want all your doors to have, “Sing Core inside.”

Sing Core and More

Patented Sing Core enables architects and designers to let their creative genius run wild by incorporating Sing Core in all their projects, not just for large sliding doors as Sing Core is also available in panels, posts and beams to enhance the capabilities of any large scale project which may encounter problems associated with strength and weight.


 

* Note: STC rating varies according to size, thickness, skin, and other factors. Sing Core does not rate doors, although we are fortunate enough to have one of the best sound testing labs in the world, here in the Pacific Northwest. If you require a specific STC rating, Sing Core can build a door to your architectural specifications and have the resulting door tested at our rating facility for an official rating.

How to Build Large Non-warp Exterior Sliding Doors

Non warp sliding doors in Manhattan New York best lightweight high strength doorsLarge sliding doors are a challenge for any door manufacturer, especially if they are more than 7 ft. tall because they will warp, compromising the performance of the sliding doors and causing strain on hardware and structure due to heavy weight. That’s where Sing Core comes in.

 

Our non-warp experts – and the clients that we serve – know that Professional Sing Panels are the only materials that can create a lightweight, insulated, high precision large door that can be guaranteed for 50 years for warp and structure.

Next up, your specifications are reviewed and conferred with the trade professional via FREE Consultation.

After your free consultation, the True Flat Team will help design to design the metrics matrix of your door’s composition to result in a door that can meet or exceed your expectations and be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including full structural integrity) for 50 years.

How to build a large non warp sliding door premium sing panels

At the factory, door substrate specialists bond all the materials (patented Sing Core, interior hard point blocking, Professional Sing Panels, surface materials and edging) to the design specifications.

High strength lightweight non warp large sliding doors deflection resistant stonger than steel

Professional Sing Panels are extremely strong and resistant to deflection, like these non-warping door blanks that are lightweight and stronger than steel pound-for-pound.

Then skins are applied and following curing, the door blanks are shipped to door finishers who complete the door manufacturing process.

The final result is an Eco-friendly lightweight, insulated, high precision large door that will not fail for 50 years, guaranteed.

These large lightweight panels with extraordinary strength can also be true flat and used for sliding doors, barn doors, carriage doors, moveable walls; if laid flat, can become table top, stage floor or mezzanine floor.

Check out the new doors for one of the world’s largest distributors of mint oil! We were really happy to build two sets of large oversize doors for an essential oil warehouse recently. One pair of panels became the double door set opens to the sides (left), while the other set of three rolls off to the same side (right).

No more door frame repair from faulty hanging door sliding door tracks

New generation no fail sliding door 50 yr guaranteeSliding doors are both elegant and efficient alternate solutions in industrial, commercial and contemporary home applications.

The only problem with sliding doors is in the areas of ongoing repair and maintenance of your sliding doors. This problem has been largely solved by adapting Sing Core technology to the sliding door industry – especially in the area of large sliding doors and large sliding pocket doors – due to being able to create a sliding door of any size that can be guaranteed not to warp bend or twist for 50 years.

But addressing the issues of door warping is not the only problem associated with your sliding door repair and maintenance. Door frame repair can become necessary due to the failure of sliding door hardware used in cooperation with your hanging door and its performance on sliding door tracks.

For instance, many home repair, maintenance, remodeling companies and door repair services experience large volumes of calls related just to dealing with hanging closet doors which make up a significant amount of their door repairs.

Hardware the Weakest Link

The roller track itself used in the sliding door mechanism might be the weakest component in the sliding door system. Weak (or tweaked) door rails can cause the door to fail or fall of its track.

Barn-Door-Hardware-Sliding-Door-HardwareNext up come the door rollers. Door rollers (the sliding door wheels that were designed to create a smooth sliding door effect) may weaken, break down over time or may bearings within may need servicing or replacement.

Solution: Hardware that Does Not Fail

If your Sing sliding door has the right sliding door hardware, you could rest assured that failure of your sliding or pocket door off track is less likely to occur over the life of your door. Meaning you will never have to know how to repair a pocket door, or to hire expensive architectural door specialists and installers who specialize in how to hang sliding closet doors.

Thanks you the Sing sliding door hardware solution, you will never have to know how to fix a sliding door or address the issues associated with a failing hanging door track or hanging sliding door hardware at all.

The Sing sliding track system is the ultimate solution used in industrial and commercial applications for fail-proof performance for the ultimate top hung sliding door that can achieve the highest precision tolerance (within .006 in.) without having to deal with sliding door repairs.

Boeing, NASA and the Navy have more important things to do than having to address the issues of sliding door off track repair or slowing down an important project because a sliding door won’t slide. This same technology is used in our Sing Modular Sliding Doors.

Shouldn’t you contact Sing Core about your next high performance, long lasting sliding door solution?
