1-1 About Sing Core
We humbly agree with industry professionals that we build the best doors, walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, carriage doors and tiny houses.
The truth is that we supply the unfinished components to the artists, designers, manufacturers, builders and craftspeople that make our product look so good. While Sing Core is associated with the most beautiful and ornate end products it is the artist who makes us look so good when our applications are revealed.
We supply the core material that makes the high performance of the end product possible by providing the artist with an Eco-friendly, lightweight base that is high-strength on which to build their creations resulting in dreams being realized.
In this regard, Sing Core is more comparable to a plywood manufacturer that supplies a craftsman with the raw materials necessary to create their works of art.
Except for a few items that we sell retail, our function is in the wholesale delivery of this high performance material directly to the millworks and manufacturers.
On vary rare occasions we cooperate directly with an end-user for a highly customized one-of-a-kind creation/solution but this is extremely rare and costly.

1-2 About the Inventor
When Peter Sing was a teenager, he learned about the properties of the honeycomb structure from the aluminum honeycomb used in aircraft. It was very lightweight and high strength material but was expensive to produce because of the energy consumed in the manufacturing process. Peter worked to invent a honeycomb material that used renewable resources and a low-energy process to produce a low-cost, high-strength honeycomb building material. This is how a life time of invention started – and now, after 30+ US and International patents, SingCore Honeycomb Products have become the best combination of natural materials and human ingenuity you will find on the market today.
Wood is next to earthen material as the most commonly used building material on our planet. Grown naturally for millions of years, humans started to use wood in the construction of their shelters after they moved out of caves. For thousands of years our ancestors cut natural wood to build furniture and construct shelters. Later, engineered wood products started to replace solid wood: laminated wood, plywood, chipboard, OSB (oriented strand board), and the list goes on.
The invention of the Sing Honeycomb process is based on very simple idea: it takes less wood fiber to provide the same strength as solid wood, and with a better insulation value. Imagine taking 100% of the wood fiber out of the solid wood and reintegrating 10% of that wood fiber into vertically structured foam arranged in geometric shapes. The honeycomb core material is made of thin wood veneer, which is the main component of plywood, surrounding an insulated and sound-deadening foam base material. The implanted vertical grain veneer is composed of high strength wood fiber . This unique torsion box technology yields the strongest, lightest weight, fully insulated for block heat and sound low-cost, long lasting material ever created with natural materials.
Helping the homeless
When Peter Sing thought of the invention of Sing Core, he also put the homeless in mind. With help, Sing Core can help homeless families by providing tiny house kits to help these families with privacy and shelter in their hard times.

Insulation: Sing Core has built-in insulation value with an R3 to R6.5 rating per inch, depending on client’s needs/specifications.
Sound deadening: Sing Core’s filler material has natural sound-deadening properties. Other sound-deadening options are available at customer request.
Light weight: When compared to other materials Sing Core weighs much less, as much as 50% less, or more, as little as 4 lbs. per sq. ft. yet eco-friendly. This advanced technology used in the aviation industry is now available for use in your home.
Strength: Sing Core based on 2″ x 2″ grids and 3/4″ thick = 660 PSI. For instance, aluminum 3/8″ grids = 30+ PSI (smaller grids should be more strength). Sing Core’s superior strength comes from its advanced torsion box design.
Solid: Sing Core is solid like a rock. While the vertical wood grain torsion box core may be compared to other hollow honeycomb cores, the Sing Core voids are not hollow as they are bonded wall-to-wall and filled with recycled foam for a strong, solid substrate.
Eco-friendly: Sing Core is manufactured using natural wood fibers, no formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals, is created using less energy than any other core material with little or no waste.
Renewable: The structure of Sing Core is 100% renewable (nature-grown) clean fiber and/or recycled material.
Oversize: Sing Core excels in area of large oversize products due to its unique properties and can be up to 50 foot length.
Dimensionally stable: Sing Core is the most dimensionally stable building material allowing us to create large, oversize products (i.e., doors, up to 50 ft.) that are true flat exceeding AWI standards and can be guaranteed to be true flat. Large oversize panels can be truly dimensionally stable without any movement due to temperature and moisture change.
Affordable: Even though Sing Core technology is used in high-end applications, we make it affordable for broad use in a large number of applications. Sing Core performance is comparable to any high-end core but could be as little cost as low-end wood product core.
Waterproof upgrade: Sing Core is available in waterproof upgrade, to accommodate your specific water resistant requirements.
Fire retardant upgrade: When used in fire retardant applications, the Sing Core fire retardant door is the lightweight, super-strong, eco-friendly alternative.
Bullet-proof upgrade: In high-security end products, most cores used in bullet-proof applications are heavy in weight, causing strain on the infrastructure, unlike Sing Core.
Thickness available: Sing Core is readily available in many thicknesses, up to 6 inches in standard thickness, with custom thicknesses available.
Skin options: Available in many different exteriors including (but not limited to) aluminum, cement board, cold roll steel, concrete, ceramic tile, fiber glass, galvanize metal, glass, MDF, metal, plastic, plywood, solid wood, stainless steel, etc…
Easy to machine: Sing Core is easy to work with in the shop or on-site for sawing, sanding, adding solid wood implants, gluing, cutting and fastening.
Fast turnaround: In you’re in a rush, only Sing Core can be custom made within 24 hours and is proudly manufactured for you in the USA.
Even though Sing Core is less expensive than most solid material, the end result is more structurally sound, lightweight, will not compromise over time and reduces the amount of man-hours and equipment to install. Sing Core is a honeycomb sandwich panel composite material with built in structural grids. Sing Core could have the exterior surface skin of any material including, but not limited to wood (seen in photo), metal, plastic, glass, Kevlar, even concrete and cement. The strength of our design is due to the structural grids made of naturally abundant, renewable, vertical grain veneer wood fiber. Sing Core is constructed in a fashion similar to torsion box technology most commonly found in the aeronautics and space exploration industries. This technology is what allows our panels remain strong, lightweight, and flat without denting, cracking, and warping. See a comparison here. Inventor Peter Sing uses this torsion box technology, along with wood fiber and foam to create patented Sing honeycomb core: the incredibly strong, true flat, lightweight, renewable composite material of the future. Check out our products section to see a few different applications. Engineering Myth-busters
- Heavy is not equivalent to strong
- Lightweight is not equivalent to weak
- Expensive material does not ensure high function
- Solid material is overused and not ecologically responsible
Most construction is a waste of materials, natural resources and has a negative impact on our planet. Solid materials are overused in an attempt to increase the strength or lifespan of the project. This excess of materials and resources is not necessary… and can be likened to killing a fly with a machine gun. It may be hard to believe, at first, but for the first time in our history, a truly responsible structural alternative can be found in Sing Core technology. Many of our clients were skeptical when they queried us about our lightweight and strong solutions to their design challenges. That is why Sing Core is the secret ingredient found in the homes, offices, estates and showrooms of royalty, political and religious high-end environments. Once you try the Sing Core alternative, you will never go back to traditional building materials in some cases. Traditional honeycomb panels have come to the rescue addressing the lightweight needs of industry. Sing Core is compatible to (if not well out-performing) most honeycomb technology in terms of weight, but no other honeycomb core can compare to Sing Core in terms of strength. None. Before today, you did not know about Sing Core’s environmentally responsible solutions to function and sustainability. Now that you do, what will you do with that knowledge? Take the Sing Core challenge.
1-4 Environment & Energy Friendly
How is Sing Honeycomb “Green”
1 Sing Core – the most earth-friendly way to use natural renewable materials Sing Honeycomb core structure is made of 100% natural vertical grain wood veneer. This is what sets us apart from our counterparts who use honeycomb core materials such as paper, particle board, aluminum, and plastic. Here at Sing Honeycomb, environmentally friendly construction is our mission.
2 LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Sing Honeycomb strives for a “cradle to grave” measurement of a product’s environmental impact from raw material extraction and manufacturing through distribution, use, maintenance and disposal. An obvious example is a coffee cup made of styrofoam compared to a coffee cup made of the same material but enclosed in a solid container. Solo cups are only used once and then disposed of, filling our landfills unnecessarily. But imagine that the same Solo cup material is put made into a permanent coffee cup that could last ten years without being replaced. Sing Honeycomb protects the foam by sandwiching it inside a durable wood framework. LCA studies show that using wood is less harmful to the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, global warming potential, air emissions, water emissions, and solid waste production.
3 Long Lasting Sing torsion-box sandwich panels are warranted for ten years*, but may last much longer. This means Sing products will not need replacement or disposal for many years, cutting down on the resources used to manufacture panels. The foam used in Sing Honeycomb Core Panels comes with a 20-year thermal performance warranty, dimensional stability, compressive strength, and water resistant properties. See instructions for repair and recycling.
4 Energy Friendly Energy Saving in general: Our Sing Honeycomb Core starts from raw material, production process, shipping and product lifespan, and the recycle/reuse are the major energy savings characteristics. Sing products has set a new bench-mark for energy savings and is less harmful to the environment than other honeycomb products. Sing core is the most energy friendly, covers more broad-range products in modern time today, all guaranteed by the inventor and founder of Sing Core. Energy Saving as insulation Insulated, draft-free sandwich panels save your heating costs Sing has a long term stable R-Value. Sing Sandwich panels assemble and install quickly, saving you man power and time.
5 Leading edge of composite technology Composite material is a feature of energy solutions to solve our structure needs. Patented Sing Core is the leader of composite material products. Sing Core takes less energy to produce the strongest, lightweight material. Whether the product is called a torsion box in the wood-working industry, a honeycomb panels in the aviation industry or a sandwich panel in the building industry, it’s all the same thing and they all function in the same way – it’s a composite material sandwiched with a lightweight core. There are many different core materials such as paper, aluminum even plastic honeycomb, but our Sing Honeycomb is a torsion box or sandwich core structured with a vertical grain core that takes less energy to produce from renewable resource to our finished honeycomb core that we’re proud to say is strongest, lightest weight core that is the most environmentally friendly composite product ever invented.
6 Recycled Our foam core has a recycled content of 20% and is 100% recyclable.
