Large Cold Rolled Steel Pivot Door Specifications

General Specifications

 

Standard Sing Core Cold Rolled Steel Pivot Door Blanks are manufactured with patented Sing Core material as the base interior substrate of the door. The Sing Core substrate material is created using a vertical grain natural wood torsion box design while the traditionally empty voids are filled wall to wall with recycled foam. The foam material is available in various forms depending on your specification. The default is recycled EPS foam. Natural wood lock blocks can be positioned at locations as necessary for locking mechanism placement and/or as pivot hardware anchor points. The core material is framed by 1.25-inch wood stiles and rails for finishing strength and attaching hardware. The torsion box is completed by adhering 20 gauge cold rolled steel as exterior material (skin) according to your specifications.

Arched Doors

Sing Core helps door manufacturers and millworks build the best doors in any size, type or style including arched doors. The Sing arched doors aren’t like any other arched doors, because they can be any size – even large, oversized arch doors – that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or fail for 50 years no matter what the size.

patented sandwich door

The true flat professionals can assist in the creation of an arched front door that out performs all other wood round top doors made. You start with a high precision radius top door core, then make sure to include patented warp-free stiffeners to assure your arched doors remain warp-free.

Sing core arched doors are the only oversized wood arched doors that can be guaranteed not to warp over time. That’s why you see Sing Core elliptical doors in service as arched top storm doors in high end homes and as exterior arched wood doors. Because, who wants a warped round top entry door? (Nobody I know).

Large Arched Doors

Most people and arch top French door manufacturers know that if a door is over 7 ft tall, you’re going to have problems with the radius top door moving with environmental changes due to moisture and weather patterns. Unfortunately, this is the main problem with large arched top doors which compromises the radius top door’s seal and could cost in terms of extra expenditures due to energy loss.

Some large arch top aluminum door companies have countered this problem by adding weight and steel to the door to help keep it straight, but this puts added stress and strain to the door frame and structure, requiring heavy duty hardware and adding maintenance costs to the door and building over time.

Solving the Problems for Large Arched Doors

Finally, high-end arched front door manufacturers, millworks and custom arched door builders can supply warp-free round top doors to their clients that can even be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist of otherwise fail (including full structure guarantee) for 50 years!

No other Eco-friendly arched front door can achieve such high precision or high performance.

Having Sing Core Inside imbues your large arched doors with impressive characteristics, such as:

Lightweight (a fraction of other solid core arched doors)
High-strength (stronger than steel pound for pound)
Insulated (for climate control and sound dampening)

Eco-friendly Arched Doors

Sing arched doors are made in the USA. A labor of love, manufactured with natural and recycled materials expending very little energy are bonded with waterproof formaldehyde-free adhesives with the intention of helping to make the world a better place for the Earth and all creatures.

This unique, patented torsion box composite core material is changing the way large arched doors are made, as well as many other products, making the world a better place.

50 Year Warp-Free Guarantee

Only elliptical top doors with premium warp-free Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp for 50 years.

Don’t you want all your arched doors to have insulated, warp-free Sing Core inside?

Save Energy in Taiwan and the World

house within a house

House within a house to save energy

It’s about time to take action and save drastic amounts of wasteful energy consumption in Taiwan. Inventor Peter Sing was born there, and desires to offer his energy saving knowledge and technology to help Taiwanese to consume less energy without having to restart the nuclear power plant.

How to Save Energy at Home and at the Office

Easy, simply use insulated interlocking patented Sing Panels to assemble a small insulated climate controlled space, like the house within a house (photo at right). No need to heat or cool such a large space when only a limited amount of space is actually occupied, saving 80% in energy consumption.

Savings vs. Penalty Incentive

To encourage participation in this energy saving program, new government incentives could be initiated. For instance, if you can save 50% of your previous energy consumption you would pay less per Kilowatt hour. If you can save 75% of your previous energy consumption you could pay less or even get your energy free of charge. If there is no change, or if you consume even more, you would pay an inflated amount per Kilowatt hour.

In this day and age, the energy consumption of available resources creates an ever increasing demand. To accommodate the requirements of individuals seeking to power basic creature comforts including heating when cold and cooling when hot presents two distinct problems.

Advantages of Sing Zoned Space
1 Lightweight. So lightweight, easy to move, assemble/disassemble for housewife or youth.
2 Easy to build. Simply use cam-lock-style modular panel connector.
3 Easy to pack and store. Entire house within a house easily dismounts and flat packs.
4 Affordable. Low initial cost, reusable and reconfigurable  structure build to last (government could reimburse some of the cost).
5 New Energy Saving Initiative incentivized by the government.

On one hand, the wealthy are not considerate of their energy consumption, so on hot days they can keep their entire large home maintained at 60 F degrees inside. This creates a drain on the energy supply, but the homeowner with a higher standard of living is not concerned with the cost of the average of 15 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity.

On the other hand, individuals with moderate or low income have other issues. Certainly everyone should be able to maintain a certain level of comfort when it is hot or cold outside, but the cost of electricity is a real concern for the less fortunate energy consumers; they may only be able to enjoy an inside temperature of 75 degrees when it is 90-100 degrees outside, and they may only be able to maintain cooling in one room or area within their home.

In fact, in the impoverished senior population, death from heat stroke – from not being able to afford adequate cooling for temperature control within their living environment – is a real concern in America. That is why it is important to have a variety of energy conservation techniques to fall back on in case of either an energy supply shortage, or in an effort to reduce energy consumption or deal with the rising cost of electricity.

How to Save Electricity

Take turns at attempting to create new alternatives for addressing the heating and cooling drain on our energy systems as well as alternative approaches and other ways to save energy as we move throughout the various seasons of the year.

One Energy conservation expert Pro. Charlie Brown had been pioneer of energy saving, He design his own home with Sing panel approach on how to save electricity in remodeling his own home that sets a good example for responsible heating and cooling control. Architect Professor G. Z. (Charlie) Brown has reconfigured his home to command complete control of the temperature maintenance of each individual zone within his home.

sliding panels room dividers insulated non warpingA home owner can divide his home into independent zones, each with its own independent heating and/or cooling apparatuses (standard portable heating and cooling devices (portable air conditioners) are readily available via big box and hardware stores) for greater temperature control with insulated temporary walls (with man doors for egress).

When Brown sought to cordon off specific portions of his home to maintain separate zones, he chose to seek out the Sing Sandwich panel to create a series of insulated sliding walls to maintain separation and climate control within his own home. Unique properties of the patented Sing Sandwich includes an ergonomic natural wood vertical grain torsion box matrix where the voids are filled wall to wall with rigid foam insulation creating an insulated substrate that is strong and lightweight.

How to save electricity insulated Sing Sandwich rigid foam insulation torsion box core wall panels

Sing Sandwich Insulated Walls

There is another approach – using the very same material that is readily available via your local Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse Pro Desk – that does not require a high level of architectural expertise and is a simple DIY approach for the average do-it-yourselfer.

Insulated Sing Sandwich temporary wall panels are available in 8 ft tall, 4 ft wide and inch-and-a-half thickness. By simply standing up these wall panels end to end, anyone could cordon off a separate living area within a larger vacant area for maintaining better climate control. The walls have an R value of R5.25 while being lightweight and stronger than steel (660 PSI) making the Sing Sandwich panel the perfect affordable solution for creating a manageable space separation.

For instance, one value and ecologically-minded individual with a master bedroom size of 26.6 x 17.6 in a home with central heating (controlled by a single thermostat) was able to reduce their winter heating costs by $220 per month by simply creating a separate insulated room within the larger master bedroom to manage the heating costs in the colder seasonal months.

The free-standing 9 x 10 room-within-a-room concept is empowering people to enjoy saving energy (and making their heating and cooling expenses more affordable).

House Within a House

In Brooklyn, New York a couple of artists have built a pair of tiny houses inside their open loft area. They rent them for $2310 per month each. They have the advantage of being in an excellent location within the heart of Brooklyn within walking distance of just about everything and a scenic view of the Manhattan skyline.

Brooklyn New York couple builds house within a house

Room dividers insulated lightweight modular portableIn fact, the New York area is the primary location of people seeking out ways to divide living spaces (this loft area is an excellent example) by using insulated Sing Sandwich panels to create separate rooms not just for energy savings but to make separate private living areas for roommates who share a common area.

Currently a trend throughout the greater New York area, it is expected that the Sing insulated, lightweight-high-strength room divider solution will continue to spread across the United States and into other countries, where space and energy are at a premium.

As energy gets more expensive and as income medians continue to plummet, insulated Sing Sandwich temporary wall panels used as room dividers continue to be one of the best ways to conserve energy and help mitigate the damages facing people trying to maintain a safe and secure quality of life on a budget.

Viva Zone Control!

For Government Consideration

It’s time for a change of lifestyle by public and school education

The U.S. Department of Energy should function as the leader in the world to change the culture-of-lifestyle approach toward energy consumption. Instead of recklessly chasing the American Dream – i.e., more highways, cars and trucks instead of more responsible railways and public transportation, and living in a 3000 sq. ft. average sized home – we all could do this together and it would be great if the DOE could help us all create and maintain a better world.

Why and How to Use Sing Sandwich Core

Sing Sandwich Core (lightweight panel, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel)

1. What is Sing Sandwich Core?

The revolution or evolution of wood working, metal fabrication, plastic and cement meets the invention of patented Sing Sandwich Core (see the many uses of Sing Core). Sing Sandwich Panel provides the wood worker with pre-built torsion box at an affordable price.

Traditional-Torsion-Box-Diagram

Traditional torsion box (above) which could take all day to build

or insulated pre-built Sing Sandwich (reinforced torsion box see below)

torsion box plywood cutaway sing core lowes home improvement warehouse

2. Why Torsion Box?

Because other methods of building a table top are basically inefficient. For instance, a table top built of a solid material will shift and move over time compromising its degree of flatness. Also solid materials that are less likely to move are extremely expensive, heavy and would only be considered for a permanent fixture.

The torsion box table top design gives as flat a surface area as possible while reducing the weight of the table top due to the hollow areas in the center of the boxes. Using a torsion box design, a craftsman can build the most flat surface using 1/10th the solid material.

3. How does Sing Sandwich Core work?

aka: lightweight panel, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel

Examine the theory behind the torsion box/sandwich panel/lightweight panel/honeycomb panel

please click link below:

Sandwich Panel Core

Use Sing Sandwich Core’s torsion box to replace conventional wood core, particle board core for the true flat, light weight and high strength characteristics.

There are several core materials also widely used to function as torsion box such as:

* Wood core
* Furniture wood core
* Table wood core
* Solid wood core
* Wood core table
* Wood core furniture
* Wood door core

Google Search: wood core

Why do craftsmen use wood core? Because it reduces the cost of exotic woods and by alternating grain orientation – like plywood – it can help to minimize warping; but even plywood warps and is very heavy. Using lightweight Sing Sandwich Core may eliminate warping altogether.

* Sing Sandwich Core is 10% of the weight of solid wood based core.
* Sing Sandwich Core is stronger than steel lbs for lbs.
* Sing Sandwich Core is safe to work with
fewer injuries if the object is a large door
table or large piece of furniture.

Get your torsion box pre-built for you in 2 ft. x 4 ft. Sing Sandwich Core sections.

Imagine being able to build a torsion box work table and hundreds of lightweight, high-strength true flat, non-warping panels – endless applications – without the time, energy and cost of building the torsion box yourself?

Truss Trade Show Booth Alternative

Use t slot embedded in t slot panels for trade show boothsOne of the most popular solutions for building a flexible trade show system has been the trade show truss displays. This has offered a degree or flexibility in altering the layout and design of a trade show booth that was unavailable in previous traditional trade show booth systems.

The popular conundrum in trade show design and management is that of lightweight and high strength. In most cases, the engineering and design staff will have to sacrifice either weight or strength having to choose one over the other depending on the expectations of the exhibitor.

This led to success of trade show truss systems that weigh less than a stick-based carpenter-built trade show display that would be disposed of following the trade show because it weighed less and could be knocked down and re-assembled for use in the next trade show event.

For many years the trade show truss system has set the standard for portable trade show displays; that is until Sing Core introduced the best trade show booths imbuing trade show engineers and designers with a whole new level of prolific design options without sacrificing due to the limitations of materials lacking in either lightweight or high strength.

This new generation of trade show displays has made a decisive impact on trade shows and the trade show designers who are always on the lookout for leading edge trade show booth ideas. Imagine a modular building material that is lightweight yet stronger than steel (660 PSI) pound for pound, taking trade show design to a whole new level.

These exciting new components for portable trade show displays consisted of the most advanced high precision display panels that are also the key component used in making the best trade show tables, trade show flooring as well as trade show walls.

These new trade show booths were completely modular, could quickly and easily assembled, disassembled flat-packed, transported and stored ready for the next trade show. See a 70 ft. trade show display including two offices, assembled by one man in less than an hour. See the video.

But the technology did not stop there. The unbridled savvy trade show engineers and designers pressed Sing Core through to an even greater level of high precision composite technology…

A staple in high-end industrial applications is the t slotted aluminum extrusion when enabled engineers and designers to create high precision projects. Still, with all the benefits of the aluminum t slot stiles and rails, the project could (and probably would) fail due to the instability of the other structure material that was weak or had the potential to warp, bend, twist, rot or otherwise fail over the lifespan of the project.

Sing Core is the secret ingredient in the most high performance t slot projects industry-wide. The lightweight high strength attributes in tandem with t slot empowered the most advanced architects specify the most complex components that would not have been able to meet the most stringent performance specifications.

It was no surprise to see this new technology spill over into trade show booth design, which faced the same design limitations of trade show truss displays.

Now, trade show designers are able to use the most sophisticated modular trade show structure system to build the ultimate trade show booths, including multiple stories and mezzanines that are lightweight, high strength and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years!
