The Garage Door Solution

Sing Core Garage Doors

The most common problem for garage doors is the continuous exposure to the outdoor elements. Which subjects one side of the door to daily changes in temperature while the other side sees a constant interior temperature. This is where a solid wood garage door would fail and crack due to the wood expanding and contracting inside the door. This is a major flaw which requires frequent maintenance, such as repainting and resealing to prevent water damage.

 

Now with a Sing Core door, a garage door can have any skin from metal to old growth Douglas-fir.

Aluminum and metal skinned

Aluminum is a great option for sliding barn doors. The aluminum produces a lightweight and strong finished product. To seal metal and aluminum doors from the elements we have discovered the perfect solution, vinyl wrap.

 

 

 

Vinyl Wrap

Vinyl wrap will adhere to any door’s surface. The glue will seal out any moisture. The vinyl is fully customizable to any design of your liking and will provide full UV protection of your door. Learn how to build a true flat long lasting carriage door here.

 

 

 

Wood Skinned

The best choice for a wood garage door is AB plywood or marine plywood. There’s no need to worry about the plywood cracking with the inclusion of proper finishing when using Sing Core thanks to our patented and patent-pending torsion box “honeycomb” design. This is why they are used on our Sing Core homes.

Wood Stave

A superior addition to any door is to add wood stave to the face. Our most common wood stave products are clear cedar and douglas fir. With wood stave applied, the door looks like it’s made of solid wood.
Unlike a thin .020 wood veneer; wood stave can be sanded and repaired if damaged. Making wood stave a more durable solution to high traffic areas or commercial applications.
Does your customer need a rugged wood stave skin or a thin veneer? Ask one of our knowledgeable sales engineers about the pros and cons of different skin options and they would be happy to walk you through your options.

1/8″ wood stave is all that is necessary to make your door look like it is made completely out of solid wood. But the secret inside is that your door is exponentially stronger and more stable than a standard solid wood door. Your Sing Core door is also almost a third of the weight of a comparably sized solid wood door. Being lightweight expands the choices of hardware, reduces labor costs to install, and is safer in inclimate weather. This applies to all doors with Sing Core inside; pivot doors, sliding doors, pocket doors, carriage doors, bi fold doors, and other doors with unique hardware configurations.

Upgrade Your Garage Door with Sing Core

Upgrade Your Garage Door with Sing Core


Garage doors are one of the most difficult, yet necessary parts of a garage. Whether they are sliding or folding, up and down or side to side, they serve an important purpose in the safety and security of your home.

Why are Garage Doors so Important?

Garage doors serve as the final layer of security between your vehicle and the outside world. In addition, most garages connect to the house by a simple door, which is often left unlocked or unsecured. This means that a simple sliding door is all that stands in the way of anyone attempting to enter your home. Many garage doors are incredibly thin plastic or sometimes metal, and are incredibly easy to get through.

These thin garage doors also offer very poor insulation, meaning if your garage is heated, you will watch your heating bill skyrocket as all that hot air leaks right through the door.

For these reasons, we recommend upgrading your garage door with a Sing Core product.

Why Sing Core?


Sing Core’s patented door panel design is the industry leader in custom, lightweight, and sturdy doors. They are lightweight enough to easily function as a garage door, whether folding, sliding, or otherwise, and provide incredible insulation during the winter months. Instead of wasting money by heating a cold garage with an inferior door, a Sing Core product helps keep that warm air inside, lowering your heating bill and making your garage significantly more enjoyable.

In addition, Sing Core products are incredibly easy to repair, and when repaired return to their full strength. This means that if you ever damage your garage door, you’re more likely to be able to simply get it repaired as opposed to having to buy a whole new product. Even this situation is unlikely, however, as Sing Core panels have a 50 year quality guarantee, so if your product ever fails on you, you can rest assured that we’ll make it right.

Does Sing Core Help With my Home’s Security?

It does! While standard garage doors are often thin, flimsy, and overall lacking in the strength and durability required to act as a secure door, Sing Core products are incredibly sturdy, and you can mount additional locks and other hardware as needed to guarantee a secure entrance into your garage, and possibly home. In addition, Sing Core products are stronger pound for pound than steel, meaning your lightweight and easy to use door is still incredibly durable, and won’t simply chip away or warp on you.

Summary

No matter what time of year it is, garage doors are constantly showing their faults. Whether it be poor insulation, poor security, or simply poor functionality, they are an annoyance that many of us have to deal with daily. Installing a Sing Core product for your garage door not only remedies the issue of insulation and strength, it also gives you the peace of mind to know that you garage and home are safe, and your custom door will last you for decades to come.

Protect Your Home From the Winter with Sing Core

Sing Core and Your Warmth

As we hit the half way mark of the 2022/2023 winter season, many are finding that their homes lack proper insulation in many different ways. One of the main reasons your home may not be holding warmth is your exterior doors. Doors are often poorly insulated, if even insulated at all. A poorly insulated door can surge your heating bill up, as it allows warm air to leave the home and cold air to filter in unrestricted. A door made with Sing Core’s patented honeycomb panels is guaranteed to improve your internal climate, as they are well insulated, lightweight, and can be made to fit any door size.

Why Choose Sing Core?

Sing Core doors offer many advantages over the standard options, and are the industry best in making high quality, durable, and lightweight doors. Our products are made with a laminated honeycomb core, allowing you to choose nearly any door design while still maintaining that high end Sing Core result.

In addition, our doors are guaranteed to be warp free. Doors can warp slowly over time, especially in areas with constantly changing weather. Rain, snow, freezing temperatures, and many other factors can lead to your door warping, and even the smallest warp can change the entire feel of your door. Sing Core doors are guaranteed to not warp, meaning you’ll always have a smooth and straight entrance.

We also offer a 50 Year Guarantee on our products, promising to stay sturdy and straight through that entire time. This brings you peace of mind to know that you will always be satisfied with your door, as it will stand the test of time regardless of the conditions.

What Are The Benefits of Sing Core?

In addition to the high end insulation and 50 year guarantee, our doors are also incredibly sturdy and lightweight. A typical door can be one or the other, but at Sing Core, we make door panels that are durable, without weighing down the hinges and being difficult to move. Because of this, we can make doors of nearly any size, further broadening your options with elegant tall doors, large garage doors, and many others. Our panels are also sound deadening, offering additional uses as interior doors for studios, or even exterior doors in loud areas.

What Kind of Doors Can Sing Core Make?

Nearly any door is an option when using Sing Core. Exterior doors, interior doors, large doors, pivot doors, sliding doors, and garage doors, among many others, all become a possibility with our amazing product. Plus, these various applications will all have the same benefits, so you can have an insulated garage door, a lightweight large door, and more.

We invite you to look at our customer gallery to see some of the amazing things we’ve been able to create, and when you’re in need of a high end door, remember Sing Core.

19′ Pivot Entry Door

 

 

Interior view of extremely large pivot door with hardware

 

Case study:

A 55” wide x 19’ tall x 3.25” pivot door. With differing Cedar and oak wood stave skins.

 

Being approached by a client who is in need of a uniquely large pivot door to withstand the difficult climates of Lake Tahoe can seem like a near impossible feat. This pivot door needed to be lightweight for ease of installation and daily use by the client, impact resistant to hold up to everyday use, sound deadening to drown out the hustle and bustle of everything outside

A pivot door built with patented and patent-pending SingCore inside can make anything possible.

Exterior view of oversize pivot door with hardware

Opposing wood species

Dissimilar wood species on the interior and exterior of the door means differing rates of expansion and contraction. SingCore has the strength and stability to remain rigid against the push and pull of the dissimilar skins.

 

Lightweight oversize door

Lightweight

Now let’s take a look at why this door needs to be lightweight.

First off, big pivots doors tend to be very heavy which makes them more difficult to manage, they require custom made specialized hardware and require a lot of maintenance due to the stress that the pivot door adds to the structure.
Secondly a pivot door is only held with two points of contact on the top and bottom of the pivot door; meaning that if the door warps or twists, the door operation will be degraded or completely fail.

A pivot door this size with a solid core will weigh around 800lbs before any skins are added.
Now with SingCore, this door’s weight is a fraction of what other solid pivot doors would have weighed. This weight savings translates into a reduced overall budget by having lower shipping costs, lower hardware cost and lower cost for the labor of the installation.

Adverse climate for keeping oversize pivot doors straight

Ready for any climate
Lake Tahoe is known for its incredible skiing and breathtaking beauty. Not for its temperate climate.

This pivot door will see outside temperatures as low as 4°F while the inside temperature may be a toasty 76°F, which is a 72° difference.
SingCore pivot, sliding, hinge, and pocket door slabs are fully insulated with your choice of recycled EPS foam core (3.5 R value per inch) or urethane foam core (5.7 R value per inch).

Perfectly straight oversize pocket door

Straight
At 19’ tall this pivot door is as big of a challenge as it gets to keep straight.

All door slabs fabricated by SingCore are completely custom. The SingCore team takes into account the finishing, hardware, and climate when building each core. No two doors are alike. And we take great pains to ensure every pivot, sliding, pocket, and hinge door stays within AWI standards.

We love creating one of a kind oversize doors that no one else can.

In Memory of Professor William Miller

Professor William Mackay Miller, 2012

-Teacher, Scoutmaster, Veteran, Friend.

Professor William Miller was a very kind and brilliant man. In his 88 years, he served as a radio decoder in China in WWII, received his PHD in Civil Engineering from WSU, taught at UW for 32 years as a professor of civil engineering. He was a great parent, scoutmaster, lecturer, and friend. In his spare time and in retirement he spent his time in his extensive wood and metal shop creating many treasures.

He made many friends and long-lasting relationships, including being a Scoutmaster for Bill Gates. But none were as special as his relationship with Peter Sing and his SingCore inventions. William provided excellent advice and was a great educator to Peter. William was shocked of the strength and lightweight qualities. After performing test on SingCore Beams, he was blown away at its shear strength and structure support with use of renewable fibers. Peter and him because very close family friends in the years to follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

William was loved and is missed by all of his family, friends and previous students.

Thank you William.
