Home -> Products -> Sing Panels -> Sing Panel Q&A
1) Are Sing Panels like other honeycomb core panels?
· Only in appearance. Other honeycomb panels do have a grid system, but generally the grids are left empty.
· Sing Panels feature vertical wood grain torsion box to form the grids. The voids are bonded and filled wall-to-wall with resilient recycled foam (a variety of foams are available to meet your specifications).
· Only Sing Panels are solid as a rock. (Warning: Do not kick a door made with a Sing Panel, you will break your leg before you break the door.)
2) What is the R-value of the Sing Panels?
· The R-Value of Sing Panels using EPS Foam is 3.5 per inch. The R-value of Sing Panels using Urethane Foam is 6.5 per inch.
3) How strong are Sing Panels?
· Very strong. In fact, they are the strongest affordable lightweight building material.
· They have been independently tested by the University of Washington to exceed 660 PSI, and can be custom designed to achieve over 1,000 PSI per your specifications.
4) Do Sing Panels have solid wood edges?
· Yes. Sing Panels feature solid wood (or other solid material) edges. If solid edges are not necessary, consider Sing Sandwich panels.
· The wood edge is visible between the exterior surfaces (or “skins”) on the edges. Edge-banding is available at extra charge.
5) What surface materials are available for Sing Panels?
· Our standard surface material is Luan (lightweight plywood).
· Sing Panels are available in basically any flat exterior building material and is limited only due to availability.
6) What thicknesses are available?
· Standard thickness of Sing Panels are 3/4 inch to 8 inches thick.
· Custom thicknesses are available to meet your required specifications, up to 12 inches and beyond.
7) How big can you make Sing Panels?
· Standard sized Sing Panels are 4 ft. x 8 ft..
· They are available in any dimensions, up to 22 ft. by 40 ft. or larger.
· Note: When ordering oversized Sing Panels be certain to confirm that the panels that you order will meet your performance specifications.
8) Are Sing Panels weather resistant?
· Sing Panels are lightweight, high strength and weather resistant only to the degree of the surface material.
· Sing Panels can be manufactured to withstand the most extreme weather conditions, and are even used in underwater applications (consult with Sing sales staff prior to ordering waterproof Sing Panels).
9) Can Sing Panels resist the heat of powder coating?
· Yes. Sing Panels can be designed and manufactured to withstand the heat of powder coating.
10) Can I bond other materials to the surface of Sing Panels?
· Yes. Many of our high-end millworks adhere other surface materials to Sing Panels when used as substrate.
· Standard Luan (lightweight plywood) surfaces are easily adhered to with regular carpenter glue and cold-pressed.
· If your intention is to laminate other materials to your Sing Panels, you should check with us first, to make sure that you are using the proper bonding agents) to achieve the results you desire..
11) Can I use Sing Panels to make furniture?
· Yes. In fact many leading edge furniture manufacturers are joining the Sing Panel revolution. See: Sing Furniture.
12) Can I hot press Sing Panel?
· Yes. We just finished up a 40 run of hot-press veneer for one job. Tip: When using a wood veneer, some warping could occur. Our expert staff encourages adding a thin later of aluminum between the core and the skin.
Sing Core mission statement: To make life easier, Sing Panels are simple to build with, simple to use and are built to last and this makes them beautiful, so Simple is Beautiful.
Sing Dressers
Sing Honeycomb Dressers
The Sing Honeycomb Bookcase brings a clean, modern feel to your bedroom.This bookshelf is portable, lightweight, and easy to assemble. Our bookcases are made with Pacific Northwest cedar inlaid with eucalyptus.
Sing Dressers showcase over-sized drawers in an elegant four-sided frame. Because the strength of our drawers stem from the torsion box side panels, our drawers do not need middle supports. This allows us to create over-sized drawers that are strong, and lightweight. We precision place the sliding mechanisms for our drawers so they open and close smoothly and sit flush to the frame.
Choose from our pre-designed 3 or 5 drawer models, or do a custom order where you pick the dimensions and skin type. Click here to get started with a custom order.

Stronger than Steel, Lighter than Steel.
Your door doesn’t have to be steel to be strong. SINGCORE Metal Composite Panels are stronger and lighter than solid steel panels. SINGCORE Aluminum and Steel Honeycomb Panels are also stronger and lighter than overhead steel garage doors, which can be dented by something as small as a golf ball. Sing offers pricing competitive with steel panels of any type.
The torsion box core holds the Sing Metal Panel flat so that it will not warp and sag. A 16lb steel hammer will easily dent a steel or vinyl door, but not a Sing Metal Panel. Because Sing panels are efficient to produce, they are more affordable than solid steel panels.
Advantages:
Eco friendly – Sing Core uses more renewable materials than any other type of composite panel. Sing Core also last many times longer than most of its competitors. It takes very little energy to produce Sing Core panels with our recycled and renewable structure material.
High Strength – Sing Core is much stronger than paper honeycomb ,aluminum honeycomb, and plastic honeycomb. A 2 in x 2 in piece of Sing Core was tested by the University of Washington and reached 660 PSI. The core grid is more than 10 times the strength of aluminum honeycomb with the same size of grids.
Lightweight – As light as 4 lbs per cubic foot.
True Flat – Sing Core aluminum will stay straight even the drastic swing by temperature and moisture change.
Fully Insulated – With EPS or urethane foam (R3.5-6.5 per inch).
Sound Deadening – Sing Core panels feel like solid wood panels, they do not sound hollow like other types of honeycomb core.
Transportation – Ships, railcars, semitrailers, truck bodies, aircraft, luxury yachts
Fast Delivery – Any thickness and almost any length, less than 5 ft wide, can be made with in 48 hours if it is rush order.

Frictionless Ice Deck
Sing Core Frictionless Ice Deck for Ice Arena to Basketball Changeover or Event Conversion
With the old system of ice arena conversion, the ice is first covered with an inch-thick rubber of fiberglass mat. Then wood floors are installed in sections to form the basketball court.
How many man-hours does it tak to perform a ice hockey to basketball court changeover?
Traditionally, we are looking at 20 union employees and 40 temporary employees over 10 hours with the old system.
Installing the Sing Core Frictionless Ice Deck for your Basketball Court conversion can be done with 8-to-10 workers in 2 hours.
The Sing Core Frictionless Ice Deck has higher insulation, lightweight, stronger than steel and eco-friendly. The Sing patented technology also boosts compression strength for heavy traffic applications.
Beautiful natural wood parquet suface is assembled from inividual 4′ x 4′ panels, with no need for rubber or fiberglass mats for insulation.
Sing Core warrants the Frictionless Ice Deck product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for 10 years, under normal use.
Not ready to replace your entire basketball arena flooring? No problem. Simply “test-drive” the Sing Core Frictionless Ice Deck basketball panels one-at-a-time. When you are normally replacing your existing panels due to wear and tear, we will send you replacement panels that perfectly match the panels that you are currently using.
You will be able to see the immediate advantages to upgrading your entire system. or continue to replace by attrition.
