Doors Broken

Applications -> Building Components -> Doors -> Broken Doors

Broken doors made with paper core.

 

The typical houshold door is either hollowcore or made with paper core.

 

These doors are very weak and flimsy. Sing Core doors on the other hand can reach up to 660 psi.

 

This stack of doors represents one week of broken doors at a local door company. The doors are cheap to buy and cheaply made. Even worse, these doors cannot be fixed so they have to be disposed of and that is terrible for the eco-system. Sing doors do not break very easily and when they do break, they are easy to repair. You will never see a stack of Sing doors that need to be disposed of.

 

You will often hear about that guy that punched through his door. You will never hear of the guy that punched through a Sing Core door. Sing Doors are punch proof. We even have a punch proof challenge.

What door companies do not want you to know.

torsion box animationAs long as you cannot see the paper core hide inside the door, they will not change it to Sing core. Sing core does not cost not much more than core made of paper but is at least 49 times stronger.

Punch through a Sing door and you will break your hand. If you can manage to punch through a Sing core punch-proof door and don’t break your hand then you will get a free sing door from us.

The most common doors used in most homes are paper core doors. With one punch you can destroy one of these flims doors. Once the door is broken you will need to take it to a door shop to get if fixed or replaced and then take it back and install it. The cost is not only a door, it is how to dispose of it, take it in and out of the shop, build or replace the door and install it. Why not just buy a Sing door to begin with. Sing doors are not much more expensive than paper core doors when consider the life span and they are free. What is your time worth?

Stronger than Steel,

Lighter than Wood

Your door doesn’t have to be steel to be strong. Sing Honeycomb Doors are stronger, lighter and more stylish than steel and vinyl doors due to the torsion box core.

Sing Doors are more stable, insulated and lightweight than solid wood doors. The torsion box core holds the Sing Door Panel flat so that it willnot warp and sag like ordinary wood. A 16lb steel hammer will easily dent a steel or vinyl door, but not a Sing Door. Because Sing panels are efficient to produce, they are more affordable than solid wood doors.

Patented Sing Door Methods

Sing Honeycomb doors are versatile, and customizable. Even the technoly used to construct the door can cater to our customers’ individual needs.

Lightweight high strength reclaimed cedar carriage doors sing core storyMirrored Carriage Doors

I FINALLY just had my facing finished!  AAAAHHHH.  I think they came out pretty great.  I designed the face I wanted and gave it to my guy.  He found some reclaimed cedar from an old garage and put it on and milled the rest.  I didn’t want to chop holes, so I created the illusion with mirror.  I think they came out Fantastic and they hardly weigh a thing.  Thanks again for your help and great doors.  Now I just have to paint the molding and it will be finished!

All the best,”

“I am a returning customer of yours from last year.  I ordered 12 closet doors from your company and my client was 1000% satisfied.  I know 1000% does not make mathematical sense, but he is really proud of his closet doors.”

Yes, your doors were exactly what my client was looking for and no one else in the county had them.  Please feel free to give my name, cell phone number, email address and any other information you want to your potential customer.  They are welcome to call anytime.

125 Year-old Church Door Replacement

These doors were replacements for original doors on our 125-year-old Church in a historic village in upstate NY. The size of the doors were quite unique, so buying premade door slabs was not an option, and custom doors were well outside of our budget. For the cost we were quoted for one set of doors, we were able to build and hang all 3 sets with the end product being a good reproduction of the original solid doors.

The Sing Core panels allowed us to get an insulated door, in our custom size, and I was able to apply 1X lumber and trim on both sides which allowed me to recreate the look of the original stile and rail look of the existing doors. The panels were straight and flat, and made a great substrate for the trim. We painted the outside in the traditional red color common on Methodist churches, and stained the inside to match to paneling in the vestibule.

Bruce


Thanks for the follow-up, I’m very pleased with the panels an how they have worked out with my project. As you can see, I framed them with poplar molding, glued in place with waterproof glue, and painted them to seal against the weather.

I brag on these panels all the time and everyone is always impressed.

Thanks again,”

Steve


Yes, the panel worked great.  As mentioned when I ordered it, I used it as a drawing board.

Standard drawing boards for artists–at least the lightweight variety–are not very large.

I needed something that was very light and perfectly flat that would hold large pieces of paper and would also accept pushpins.” Amy

Direct quotes from recent customer:

What did you think of the panels when they arrived?

They looked just as I expected. High quality workmanship and to my

exact specifications.

What was it like working with them to get the design you wanted?

Very easy to work with. The panels were totally flat and square.

What did you think of the panel’s weight in comparison to their size?

Weight came in as expected which is very light compared to a solid wood

door.

Do you think that our garage door panels are equal in strength to

standard garage panels?

I think these panels are stronger than standard garage doors.

Definitely stiffer.

If you were to do another project similar to this would you buy our

garage door core panels again?

YES.

Would you tell other people where you got your door cores from?

YES.

Please tell us in your own words about your experience with our panels.

I have nothing to complain about with regards to the entire

experience. Customer service while ordering the doors was top notch.

Price was great. Shipping/delivery was easy. Fabrication of my doors

was straightforward.

-Kevin B., California

Thanks for getting in touch.

Yes, the panel worked great.  As mentioned when I ordered it, I used it as a drawing board.

Standard drawing boards for artists–at least the lightweight variety–are not very large.

I needed something that was very light and perfectly flat that would hold large pieces of paper and would also accept pushpins.

If you are interested, i think you could market this product to artists.

I don’t think there is anything on the market in terms of oversize drawing boards.

Thanks again.

A Testimonial from Dave Kellog – Dave Kellog is the first Sing Home customer to build in Wyoming. He’s beginning with a 24′ x 36′ multiple use cabin, and will later add a large Sing Timber residence. Dave writes:

“The project is going extremely well… the building is 24′ x 36′, and after the foundation and floors were poured, I got to wall height (10’3″) in just seven days… All work has been completed by me alone…so this has been a one person operation. I have had a lot of interested folks stop by, all very curious about the Sing Timbers. I think when I get the house and garage built, I may spec one just to see how well it sells! It has been a lot of fun so far, just like building with big Legos, and boy is this thing solid! I really like the Sing system, it is wonderful for ‘do it yourselfers’, especially if it is only yourself doing it!”

Dave Kellog

Lander, Wyoming

A Testimonial from Bob & Linda Freeman – The Freemans built two Sing Homes, a 24′ x 24′ cabin w/ garage, and a 2000 s.f. prow front home. They write:

“We built the garage/bonus room last year because our home in Bellingham was still for sale. We wanted to see if Sing Logs was what we really wanted. It turned out better than we thought it would. They are easy for people who know nothing about construction work. They look great and the logs are very strong…stronger than conventional post and beam. How do we know? We are now building the house attached to the garage and I had to cut the door opening. It was really difficult to knock the door out, even after it was cut with a chain saw! The logs also make the interior quiet, and through the winter, it was toasty warm with just a propane stove.”

Bob and Linda Freeman

Chuck Dudley – Pioneer Home Services – I was introduced to the Sing Home concept about 5 years ago and have since built 4 of them, with 2 more coming up.

I was introduced to the Sing Home concept about 5 years ago and have since built 4 of them, with 2 more coming up in the Spring. After having built with their product, I do not want to build again using conventional framing. There simply is no comparison in quality, stability and strength, longevity, energy efficiency, or beauty. The cost is comparable to a custom stick-built home, but with so many more advantages. There is also a financial advantage with a Sing Home. As soon as the home is completed it can easily be worth more than a third more than it cost to build. Can I recommend a Sing home? Absolutely I can! I stake my reputation of 35 years in construction on the Sing Home product. Chuck DudleyPioneer Home Services

Due to shipping limitations, our largest panel is 40” x 96”. However, you can combine these to make almost any size door you desire. Once your door panels have arrived, place them in the room where they will be installed and do the following:

1. Arrange your door panels on a level plane so that they can be joined precisely.
2. Join the panels in the horizontal position and applying glue in the grooved “biscuit” pocket.
3. Insert biscuit joint into one side of panel, apply glue to groove in second panel that will be attached to the first panel
4. Slide panel so that the other half of the biscuit is inserted into the biscuit groove and apply adequate pressure to the glued area. (We recommend formaldehyde-free, urethane glue)
5. Once all of the panels have been assembled together and the glue has completely dried, your Sing Core door is ready to install.

Case Studies

 

Title: Steam Room Door

Client: Pizza Company

Product: Sing Panels

Challenge:The client needed doors that resist moisture and close securely. He also needed the doors to withstand frequent use at a business.

Sing Solution:Sing Core doors are flat and straight enough to keep humidity from leaving the steam room. Water resistant coating was applied to protect the door, preventing it from warping and rotting.

Customer Quote:

“We had purchased two of your panels to use as sliding doors for one of our steam rooms. To date they are working great.” Kenny B.


 

Title: Children’s Room

Client: Tremain Construction

Location: Washington State

Product: Sing Panels

Challenge: The family needed a large divider for their living room. It needed to be lightweight so that the kids could open and close it easily.

Sing Solution:Sing Core panels are light enough for a small child to move and easy to assemble.  The family finished the doors with chalkboard paint to make it kid-friendly.

Customer Quote:

“As you can see, the photo below was taken right after install and finishing completed, still construction stuff in the area. The other picture is after the owners moved in and their kids started using the door, which is covered with blackboard paint; it becomes a moving mural in the space.” -P

The advantages of using SingCore blocks as dunnage and Sing panels for veneer and plywood holding trays:

The super-wide and lightweight super-strong and high compression strength SingCore blocks evenly distribute the weight and allow easy access for forklifts. This minimizes the opportunity for damaging high quality, expensive veneer, plywood, and other sheet goods.

Sing panels come 4 ft x 8 ft x 2.75 inches thick and will work with Sing dunnage to enhance product quality and make your factory happier.

You may purchase Sing panels to cut into the desired width of strips to use as Sing dunnage.

Getting Started

Stronger than Steel, Lighter than Wood

The easiest method to build an insulated small house is by using patented Sing honeycomb panels!

Earth friendly living is the spirit of Tiny House dwelling. What better way to build Tiny Houses than with Sing Honeycomb Panels?

Sing Tiny House Sandwich Core Panels are great for wood sheds, living spaces, living off code, guest houses, ticket booths, pump houses, studios, disaster relief structures, utility sheds, playhouses, espresso stands and any other small building needs. They travel safely, construct quickly, and look beautiful.

All in One

Our prefabricated panels and logs include insulation, framing and interior and exterior siding. Our thin sandwich panel walls give you more space inside your home. We replace the need for sheet rock, which weighs a ton. Sing helps you build your house simply and quickly, so you can start living.

  • Insulation
  • Siding

Simple and Quick

Sing Logs and Sandwich Panels are user friendly. They weigh less than a third as much as an equivalent slab of sheet rock, so you can easily and safely construction your home.

  • Fewer materials
  • Fewer steps
  • Lightweight

Strong and Stable

Sing Tiny Houses are structurally superior to traditional 2” x 6” framed structures because the glue we use for the sandwich panels covers the entire surface area and creates a stronger bond than nails ever could. This will save thousands of nails and over time will ensure the structural integrity of your Tiny House. Sing Honeycomb Panels have precision to within .007 of an inch. This means your Tiny House will be structurally sound and perfectly smooth. After years of expansion and contraction, nails settle, cracking your timber. The structural glue used with Sing Panels will not settle and cause warping over years. Help us to preserve the environment by using high quality, long lasting Sing Panels.

Celina Dill Tiny House Blog

“Learning about Sing Panels completely changed the way I look at building.”

— Celina Dill, Tiny House Blogger

See pictures at her blog and in our gallery.

Yes, Sing Core does make the best reinforced structural insulated panels (RSIP) for use in Tiny House applications as walls, floors, ceilings and roofs. We have a huge desire to support the tiny house industry but be aware that we only offer Sing Panels for tiny house construction to professional distribution channels. Since we offer no support for our products (besides what is readily available via our web site). Our operation is not setup to sell our products to people in need of retail customer service. We suggest that you seek answers to any questions about how to use Sing panels by consulting with your engineer, architect, builder or contractor.

Note: We do occasionally offer products direct to the do it yourselfer, like Tiny House panel Kits or Tiny House Surplus Panels. Though we may provide you with the materials, we offer no how-to support to the DIY enthusiast except that which is available via our Tiny House FAQ (frequently asked questions) and other online resources.
