Large Sliding Doors

If you’re looking for the best large sliding door, you’ve come to the right place. Sing Core specializes in creating the ultimate sliding door experience. We manufacture the only door substrate that you can use to create the most extraordinary doors in the world.

The above picture is a demonstration of Sing Core’s strength.  Two 8’x9′ oak doors (approx. 800 lbs.) laying on top of two 7’x8′ curved doors.  The curved doors had no visible movement due to the high strength of Sing Core. As you can see, the eye plate is so small but can support such a large door panel.

 

These three curved panels measure 7’x8′ and are built to the highest precision and strength to last a lifetime.

 

Here is another example of a curved door with a smaller radius built with the exact same expertise.

 

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 sliding doors, but rest easy knowing your sliding door has Sing Core inside.

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), next to 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.

One way to overcome the warpage issue is to utilize stronger materials which tends to greatly increase the weight. The downside is that increasing the doors’ weight creates another set of challenge. For example, heavier doors require heavy duty hinges to support the doors. Heavier doors also require more labor for handling, installation, and any servicing it may require.

 

As you can see, this massive door is 8’x9′ and remains perfectly straight.  So straight, in fact, that it is perfectly freestanding on end!  If there was even the slightest amount of warpage, then this door would topple over.

 

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.

These oak doors are manufactured with the highest precision.  As you can see, there is no gap between the two oak doors.  If they were slightly warped, or a little uneven, there would be a gap showing, possibly more.

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.

Long known for our problem-solving and attention-grabbing Sing Panel doors (doors with Sing Core inside), we introduce you to our new patent-pending Large Stile and Rail Pivot Doors and Sliding Doors. Never before has there been such a high precision or stronger wood-based door core to expand the horizon of possibilities in the stile and rail door industry.

Sing Core Introduces New Highest Precision Stile and Rail

Born out of technology requested for a very important large stile and rail door job with large glass cutout with thin wood surface frame and demanding warp-free flawless precision led to inventor Peter Sing’s latest patent-pending technology.

Thanks to this latest challenge, Sing Core can now offer the guaranteed straightest wood-based stile and rails for any kind of stile and rail or French door in any size imaginable.

New Large Glass Cutout Tech

Before now, large, glazed stile and rail and French doors with huge light openings might have been problematic for framing with anything besides aluminum or steel.

Stronger Than Aluminum Frame

Now you can have the beauty of wood, real wood to hold and support big and heavy glass without fear of failure at frame joints nor the challenge of warping while in service.

Large Stile and Rail No Problem

Superior Rigidity

Sing Core technologies are rigid, the most rigid and dimensionally stable door core and warp-free technology.

Wide Frame or Narrow Frame

You now can have a wood stile and rail or French door with any look you like, from the classic wide wood frame (five to seven inches), or architecturally inspired thin frame (three inches) made of wood and stronger than steel. Strong enough to hold all that heavy glass.

And those slim looking stile and rails with Sing Core inside? They still function better than any other wood-based door tech. This our niche.

Our new patented Stile and Rail technology creates extremely strong doors that are the most warp resistant doors on the market. With our new technology, you can create beautiful stile and rail doors of any size with confidence. This is a much more affordable option to our high-end panel doors.

The picture above is a door that began as one of our famous true flat Sing Core door blank. They then overlaid trim, or molding, to create the appearance of a stile and rail door. As you can see, this door has been exposed to full weathering 100% of the time and shows no signs of warpage or failure. Our panel doors are used in the most high-end houses in the US.

The doors above are crafted with our true flat panels to have a similar appearance to stile and rail doors but have immense strength for any size door and/or any size light opening. On the left is a pair of 16 ft. tall French doors with multiple light openings, on the right is a 14 ft. tall door with a massive light opening.

The doors pictured above consist of our new stile and rail technology to support the light opening and our Sing panel for the other half of the door. The new stile and rail technology allows us to make our frames thinner than ever without sacrificing any strength.

MOLDING/TRIM

Sing Core windows and doors are profile ready for CNC routing. You may add molding or trim to create your own window or door design, otherwise we will provide you with thicker skin – such as 1/4 inch or thicker mdf, hardboard, etc. – for you to carve or profile by CNC machine. With Sing Core windows and doors you can create a true raised-panel door or any design you desire.

TRIMMED OR UNTRIMMED (RAW EDGES)

The standard ready-to-ship panel condition is, “untrimmed.” This leaves unfinished exterior edges that may have exposed adhesive and might require being built ½ inch over-sized for trimming at your location. An additional fee will be assessed for trimming and sizing in our factory.

All trimmed edges are 1/2 inch over width and 1/2 inch over length. After trimming, your Sing Panel will be 1/2 inch less (4 x 8 will be 47.5 inch x 95.5 inch). Standard solid wood edging with 1.5 inch will be reduced to 1.25 inch after trimming.

UNTRIMMED PANEL (RAW)

Many of our customers prefer their panels untrimmed because this allows them to trim their panels to exact size on site before installing them in their door openings.  That way they can have the peace of mind that their door will fit the opening exactly as intended.

TRIMMED PANEL

Customers who want their panels cut to exact size before they receive them should choose the trimmed selection.  This gives them the option of doing less work on site, but it also means they must be much more precise with their measurements before ordering their panels.  Trimmed also costs slightly more because it is more labor intensive to trim the panels in house.

What Is A Pivot Door?

A pivot door rotates on a pivot box in the floor and the top jamb rather than traditional door side hinges, which is common in most homes. Pivot Doors have become a popular choice for entrances, creating a bold statement at your first point of contact.

What makes pivot doors so unique? The pivot door or pivot window is an opening system with a central or lateral rotating axis that allows for very large door panels. The craftsmanship and technology of a pivot hinge allows for a larger opening than most other types of doors since traditional hinges cannot carry the same kind of weight. Pivot doors are fantastic options for where there is a large amount of space and enough floor room for the door to be able to swing all around.

Grounded in the principles of modern architecture, a pivot door emphasizes clean lines and simple shapes. Pivot doors are well suited for pivoting walls and can also be used as room dividers. Until now, affordable pivot doors are thicker than average doors and heavy in weight. The large size and heavy weight causes extra costs associated with shipping and handling. Shipping is more expensive because shipping costs are calculated on weight. Handling is more expensive because heavy equipment is necessary for transporting and manipulating the pivot door into place for installation. Pivot door hardware is also based on the affordable pivot door’s weight, so a heavier pivot door will require more expensive and heavy duty hardware. Here at Sing Core we manufacture custom premium wood pivot-hung entry doors for exterior and interior use. Our pivot doors feature our patented lightweight insulated torsion box pivot door core inside. Which imbues each door with the unique characteristics of a solid core pivot door featuring the exact size, material and appearance of any style of pivot door, while remaining extremely lightweight and incredibly strong. Independently University tested at 660 PSI, makes Sing Core’s pivot door core stronger than steel pound for pound. The pre-insulated core also means greater climate control and noise cancellation between spaces. Also, the lightweight of Sing Core’s pivot doors, means less shipping, handling, transportation and installation costs, requiring less expensive hardware.

A pivot, not a hinge rather than hanging from hinges in the frame, a pivot-hung door swings on a set of pins mounted in the top and bottom of the door. Transform the look of your home or office by opting for Sing Core’s affordable pivot doors. Pivoting front entry doors provide an elegant look and appear to float inside the door frame. We are offering premium wood pivot-hung entry doors for exterior and interior use that cannot be found anywhere else. Let Sing Core build your custom pivot doors, custom modern entry doors, exterior mahogany wood doors, or any other custom door you can imagine! If you can create the idea, we can create the door. Every Sing Core door comes with a 50 year structural guarantee, something that no other door company has been able to offer.

Swing-out Carriage Doors

Are you in need of replacing those old carriage doors? Maybe you just want to spice up your home a little bit? Carriage doors are a great way to do this. They are very large, and yet so elegant. Carriage doors can replace your roll-up garage door. It will save you an immense amount of space! Carriage doors use a series of hinges instead of a track as the roll-up garage doors use. Using Sing Core makes your installation simpler, doors last much longer, and are significantly easier to handle. Easier handling means that your shipping cost will be even more favorable!

Hinged, swinging, swing-out, swingout, swing-in, swing, slide, or fold carriage doors for your carriage house garage can be found at Sing Core. The old-fashioned design, side-hinged garage doors swing open and closed from a hinged frame on either side of the opening. We create the most lightweight, strongest, and economically friendly doors. Traditional carriage doors are very heavy due to their size and structure, which causes them to need very heavy duty hardware to hang the door. The idea that carriage doors open on heavy duty hinges my not seem like a hindrance, but it raises the cost of hardware and make the door increasingly more difficult to install. So make it easier for yourself or your contractor to install your carriage doors by using Sing Core doors. Sing Core proudly makes any size (no matter how large) door tailored to your needs. Our doors weigh a third of a standard carriage door. Don’t think for a second that this weight difference alters the quality. Sing Core doors are the strongest doors on the market today. We believe so strongly in this that all of our doors are backed with a 50 year structural guarantee. No other door company can come even close to that!

Carriage style garage doors swing open elegantly and add a classy look to homes. Custom swing out garage doors are becoming more popular each year. Out swing carriage doors allow garages to be turned into living spaces, and they’re great for garages that have limited head room or living areas where you do not want to have all the overhead track. Swing-out, side-hinged heavy double doors can be served as the entryway to your home even! With a classic, yet highly unique, twist on modern garage door functionality, the side hinged garage doors are perfect for anybody who is looking to spruce up their home. Sing Core happens to be the #1 custom carriage house wood garage door manufacturer.
