torsion box, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel, lightweight panel

Peter Sing- inventor and president of Sing Core- spent forty years of his life to create this new sandwich honeycomb panel technology and with hard work and great perseverance, he has succeeded in his goal. His next step for his company, is to spread the word out to everyone. Peter Sing believes that people are crazy for settling with heavy, non-versatile, and expensive plywood/particle board when they can use Sing Core’s lightweight, affordable, and reliable honeycomb panels.

Imagine being able to use a lightweight, strong, wooden honeycomb panel that allows you to create anything from basic furniture or large sliding door to an entire house that you live in. But Sing Core is cheaper and friendlier to the environment. Sounds too good to be true, but it’s not, because Sing Core Honeycomb Panels give you that advantage. This new and innovative style of honeycomb panel is so much more than lightweight, strong, and durable; it is long lasting, reliable, simple, and affordable.

Why use thick plywood- that can be difficult to construct with- when you can use the versatile Sing Core honeycomb panels. Through Sing Core, you will have the components to be able to build thousands of Sing Core products, with that eco friendly touch.

 

Pictured to the right is a 1 ton truck on a piece of 1/4″ inch thick Hardy Plank wrapped around our Honeycomb core. it does not crack under the pressure of a 1 ton truck. This is the future economical, concrete home structure. The picture is proof. Can you drive a 1 ton truck over a conventional frame home wall without it cracking??

 

 

Sing Core Honeycomb Panel description:

  • Strength– Is more than 10 times the strength of aluminum honeycomb core. A one inch by one inch grids aluminum core only has 60 psi; Sing Core 2”x 2” grids have reached more than 660 psi, the smallest core possesses more psi strength, but failed the test against Sing Core. Sing Core grid’s sizes range from 2 in x 1.5 inch to 5 in x 5 inch.
  • Sing Core with Application– Starts from 4 lbs. per cubic ft. and the larger the core grids, the lighter it weighs.
  • Dimensionally Stable– Doors made of Sing Core are guarantee to be true flat. Since we assure the flatness of Sing Core doors, our customers haven’t requested any refunds for their purchase. The most popular door that we manufacture are oversized doors (larger than 7 ft. x 3 ft.). We can do any custom size; the largest door/movable wall we sold was shipped to Bangkok, Thailand and was, 32 ft wide x 16 ft tall (four of them to divide a large conference room to several small conference rooms or a banquet hall).
  • Eco Friendly– Sing Core honeycomb panels are made of renewable veneer. The Sing Core panels take less energy to build a strong composite core, lightweight (which take less energy to transport), has longest life span, and it’s environmentally friendly (compare to other type of core such as paper honeycomb, aluminum honeycomb core, and plastic core).
  • Sing Panels- Come complete with solid wood edging, pvc edge, aluminum edge, or open edges.
  • Skin Choice- Several different skins: such as aluminum, FRP, cement, plastic, and wood. Sing Core products are suitable for indoors/outdoors, plus, our panels are waterproof because of the many different varieties of skin and close cell foam to keep the panels completely watertight. There are two types of wood based panels; paint grade and wood grain.
  • Thickness- Sing Core honeycomb panels come in any thickness from 1/2 in. to more than 8 in. size of Sing panels;The largest door/movable wall we build are 32 ft wide x 16 ft in length (It weighs less than 800 lbs App. 1.5 lb per sq ft),With our patented Sing core biscuit layin under each join  which keep the Sing large oversize panel true dimensionally stable without any movement due the the temperature and moisture change (We offer a 10 year structural guarantee) paint grade.

Multiple Sing Panels can be joined together by a variety of methods to create entire structures or large multi-panel projects on-site using a variety of fastening options.

Galvanized steel equipment enclosures

Sing Core Panels are typically Paint Grade- Produced ready to finish by consumers and businesses. Panels are paint grade, not paint ready, which means that the customer may have to putty, sand and prime before painting.

Custom Choices for Wood Grain- There are paint grades, wood grains skin for Sing panel finish treatment, and there are two type of wood grain Sing panel available. Option 1 is veneer/staves and option 2 is strips/planks. Sing plywood skinned panels are used to build doors, floors, walls, table tops, and roofs; It’s the least expensive and the natural plywood has a thin layer of wood veneer on the surface (the advantages are very affordable, can be stained/ shows beautiful wood, difficult to sand, repair, and has tiny join if it is over 4 ft x 8 ft size).

Two Types of Wood Grain- Sing plank- The 1st type is plywood type of wood skin which uses 1/8 inch wood stave of any kind of wood species, pressed on the top of Sing core panel(advantage: wood stave Sing panel can be sand,repair,like solid wood due to the thicker wood surface).click here to see picture. The 2nd type, is Sing wood grain panel glued to the  natural wood stave slice solid wood to 1/8 inch thick then glue on top of Sing torsion box long panel. Sing true wood planks normally range from 7 in. to 10 in., wide x 8 ft. or 10 ft. in length x 1 1/2 inch thick which look more true flat than real solid wood (click here to see pictures), than glued edges. Sing wood planks can form a large oversize door, table, or wood plank. Sing Core panels could be made at any size and thickness. Sing wood planks are light weight, true flat, fully insulated, and sound deadening than solid wood. Sing Core panels look and function better than solid wood which will warp and shrink. (it would be impossible to join solid wood planks to build doors as large as 10 ft wide x 12 ft or larger). See picture of Sing Core Flooring. Natural planks provide beautiful wood and Sing wood panel invention will make it even more beautiful and function better.

Log Home Q and A

Sing Log Homes FAQ

General Questions

 What kind of wood is used in Sing Logs?

The patented Sing Log system can use virtually any kind of wood at a reasonable cost, since we can use thinned and waste wood in our process. Pine and fir are the most economical, but the resistance to twisting, checking and shrinking imparted by the quarter sawn laminated system makes these logs equal to prime cedar in stability. We do offer cedar at a higher cost if that appearance is desired. The quality is in the cutting, and the vertical straight grain that results from the Sing quarter sawn method is generally considered to be the most handsome and desirable.

 

 

Will Sing Logs settle, shrink, or crack (check)?
Wood, being a natural material, will always move and change with temperature and humidity, but only Sing Logs have been engineered to virtually eliminate shrinking, warping, and checking. The patented quarter sawn straight grain and laminated construction make the Sing Log the most stable in the industry. Sing Logs are also kiln dried to guarantee the maximum stability possible.

 

 

Why is there so much attention paid to stability and the lack of shrinking, twisting, and checking?
It’s simple! Logs that twist, shrink, or check will allow water to enter the gaps, thereby causing future maintenance problems. Damp logs will begin to rot and decay internally, at the same time attracting insects such as termites and carpenter ants that can’t normally live in a dry log. Any gaps that appear in conventional logs must be cleaned and caulked, often every few years. Since a Sing Home has each layer glued and screwed to the next, the wall behaves like a single laminated beam, with no gaps or checks to cause problems.

 

 

What are the major advantages of quarter sawing?

Quarter sawing produces vertical grain lumber with consistent grain orientation. They are dimensionally stable and show a minimum shrinkage and warpage. The lumber’s ability to hold paints and stains is also enhanced. Please visit Sing Log’s Manufacturing page for more information on quarter sawing vs. plain sawing.

 

 

What log packages do you offer?

Sing logs are sold by linear foot. You can also choose to purchase our flooring, decking, roofing systems, interior walls. Our packages are all custom made depending your budget and the Sing Home products that you are interested in for you log home.

 

 

Are your logs treated for decay and insects?

Log homes are no more at risk for insect damage than conventional homes. Our logs are delivered untreated and kiln dried. If they are kept dry, there is no moisture to support insects or rot. In areas of severe insect problems, borate or other preservatives could be field applied in the interior cores during erection. All logs must be treated with an appropriate sealer after erection; otherwise precautions typical of your area should be employed.

 

 

How are the logs protected from weathering?

Once the roof is on; use brush or airless sprayer to apply a UV and water resistant coating system. We recommend Sikkens? Cetol? exterior and interior finishes as they have been thoroughly tested and proven to be superior. An initial 3 coats are required, with a recoat every 2 or 3 years on southern and western exposures; 3 to 4 years on northern and eastern exposures. If your own site has heavy weather from a different direction, adjustments should be made.

 

 

Why are insulated logs better than regular round, lamininated, and milled logs?

Patented sing log and sing eco log has the highest R value than any conventional log home. In the cold winter and hot summer R value will cut down your energy consumption which other log homes do not have.

 

 

What plans can I use?

We are able to work with any home design, either from other log manufacturers or from conventional plan books. It need not be a log home design. If you bring us a plan, we can estimate a log price. Our goal is to turn your dream into reality.

 

 

Does Sing Home offer design services?

We can refer you to an outside designer who is experienced in Sing Home designing, or we can work with your own designer and provide him /her with the necessary information pertaining the Sing Log System.

 

 

Does Sing Home offer engineering services?

Sing Home does not provide professional engineering services, but can refer you to a Professional Engineer or supply the engineering paper for your engineer’s review. The building department in your municipality may not require your house plan to be stamped by an engineer, but with one, the approval process is usually quicker and easier.

 

 

Construction & Maintenance

Are Sing Log Homes hard to build?

In a word, NO! The Sing Log system does not require more than basic carpentry skills, along with some pure labor. Unlike most manufacturers, whose heavy logs require cranes and other specialized equipment to erect, Sing Logs generally weigh under 70 pounds each and can be moved entirely by hand. When compared to conventional framing, The wall construction process is also greatly simplified, since the exterior Sing Log has replaced the siding, sheathing, framing, insulation and the interior wall board at the same time.

 

Is a Sing Log Home difficult to maintain?

There are many log homes around the USA that exceed a century in age and are still occupied. Like any other home, proper maintenance will greatly enhance the usable life. An initial application of a UV resistant log coating protects the logs from weather and provides any desired color. The flat faces of Sing Logs means there are no surfaces to catch dust on the interior, or water and dirt on the exterior. Other than the periodic recoating recommended by the finish manufacturer, occasional washing with a garden sprayer should be adequate to keep the exterior of your log home looking fresh.

 

Are Sing Log Homes difficult to heat or cool?

Logs contain millions of tiny air-trapping cells that are a natural insulator and the thermal mass inherent in log construction both slows the transfer of heat and stores it for slow release later in the day. Log homes are efficient to heat and cool, as well as minimizing the temperature swings typical of frame houses. Washington State recognizes log construction as exceeding the energy code requirement for walls. Comparative testing on identical houses has shown that log homes use less energy over a year than frame or masonry construction.

 

 What kind of foundation is required?

Local conditions and regulations will have the final say, but log homes can be built on any foundation: crawl space or basement; concrete, masonry, or wooden foundation; concrete slab; or posts and piers.

What kind of roof constructions need to be built?

Any style of roof used with conventional houses can be employed with logs. It is more common in log homes to take advantage of high, cathedral style ceilings and open loft space as well as exposed timber framing. The Roof System Options page on this site lists a few common options offered through our Dry-in and Plus Packages. In addition, Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) has also been successfully used in conjunction with Sing Logs by many of our clients.

 

Must (or can) interior walls be logs?

For most suppliers, interior log walls may be required for structural reasons or else can add considerable cost if chosen as an option. With Sing Logs, interior partitions are the owner’s choice. Please visit the Interior Wall Options page for common interior wall configurations.

 

Sales, Cost, Finance & Insurance

How can a Sing Log Home provide more value at less cost?Value begins with quality of the materials and no other log system can match the stability and straight grain appearance of our laminated engineered system. Generally, the cost of having a construction crew to build a Sing Log home is comparable to the cost of building a custom framed house of similar size and features, but there are steps an owner can take to reduce costs. Typically, more than half the cost of a home is in the labor and construction management. The Sing Log system makes it possible to save considerable money by investing time and energy rather than cash. Acting as your own General Contractor, hiring subs, arranging for permits and buying materials can save as much as 20 percent of the finished cost.

 

How much does a Sing Log Home cost?Costs of construction can vary considerably due to many factors. Local wage rates, foundation type, and site conditions have a major impact, as does the amount of labor contributed by the owners. As stated above, if you have a contractor build your Sing Log home, the cost would be comparable to that of a custom frame-built home. You’ll be able to reduce the cost if you choose to do part of the work yourself. In either case, with Sing Log Home, you will get a more solid house for your money.Buying wholesale Eco Logs- by buying our logs whole

 

I’m planning to build a Sing Home sometime in the next few years. Can I lock-in the current log price to prevent future price increases?We have a Lay-Away Program for our clients to lock-in the current log price. Lay-away interest free for the next three years, with a minimum 10% down and as low as 1% monthly payments. In fact, most Sing Home owners began their Sing Home projects this way. Please contact our office for details.

 

 Are Sing Log Homes good investments?Since most log homeowners are building the home for the rest of their lives, log homes are not commonly available on the market, but studies show appreciation is equal to or greater than with conventional homes.

 

Is financing available?Most lending institutions will finance log homes- FHA, VA and conventional financing are possible. If you have difficulty, we can recommend some sources that specialize in log or owner-built homes. We highly recommend Timberland Bank. They are ready and willing to work with you on building your dream home.Make sure the bank has experience to release the fund to you as an owner builder instead to the general contractor

 

Will I have difficulty with insurance?Most insurance companies will insure a log home at the same rates as conventional construction.

Tiny House FAQ

frequently-asked-questions-faq1) How can I get Sing Panels to use in my Tiny House?

  • The demand for Sing Sandwich Panels in tiny house building is huge, be aware that we do not sell to end-users, only wholesale (unless you are purchasing a Sing Tiny House Kit).
  • Contact your local sheet goods supplier or lumber yard and ask for Sing Core.
  • This saves you delivery time as well as additional packaging and shipping costs which could be more than the material cost.

2) How do I learn more about Sing Core?

  • Most everything you would want to know about Sing Core is available online at www.singcore.com. Please feel free to learn by studying our web site.
  • We do not field calls for questions about Sing Core, but any questions that you may have can be answered by your architect, designer or contractor.

3) What is inside the walls of the tiny house?

  • Our Tiny House panels can be manufactured with either EPS or urethane foam.
  • EPS would be best for Tiny Homes that are in a fairly temperate climate with not a lot of temperature extremes.
  • Urethane foam would be best for Tiny Home locations where you get a very broad range of temperatures so as to be less impacted by the changes and don’t want to use as much energy to heat your tiny house.

4) Does my Tiny House come already painted/stained?

  • Our Tiny House walls (exterior & interior) come paint grade, any finishing to get panels ready for painting/staining are up the customer*.
  • *It is important that customer finish their panels with a paint/stain/some kind of siding, especially on the exterior to provide a level of weather protection.

5) What are the advantages of using Sing Tiny House Panels?

  • Lightweight: Our panels are lightweight, which makes your tiny house easier to transport (either flat-pack or erected on a trailer) because of the lightweight qualities makes it cheaper to transport because you use less fuel.
  • Flat and Strong: Our panels stay flatter and less prone to warping which make putting your tiny house easier to put together, in addition our honeycomb panels are 1/3 or more lighter than solid wood panels but are stronger than the average RV/Trailer which uses standard plywood.
  • Economical: Our tiny houses are more economical to move than compared to standard RVs, our tiny houses will last longer, stay useful longer, which gives you a better return on your investment on your tiny house.  Add wheels for road towing. Build Sing honey­comb tiny house on top of the trailer to show off your energy efficient life style. Sing honeycomb trailer home is only half of the weight of other frame type of tiny house on the trailer.

6) Do you have any floor plans or design services?

  • No, we do not have any kind of floor plans or design services because with our panels the sky is the limit, we allow our customers the freedom to explore their imaginations and the web to come up with a design that will fit their dream tiny house and their budgets.  We want your tiny house to reflect your personality, not what we could think of for you.

7) Do your tiny houses come with any accessories?

  • We do not offer accessories or other building materials, because like question #4, we don’t know your budget, your desires or your likes/dislikes and to help to keep cost down with our panels we don’t have any accessory inventory to try and sell to you our customer.

8) How do I install electricity in my Sing Tiny House?

  • The electric wire can be installed through the top, bottom, and even in between each panel. The wire is then routed out of a channel, and then covered with trim. Another way of wiring the panels would be to cut a groove into the Sing Honeycomb panel, then cover the groove by gluing a piece of molding or trim on it. Gluing molding or trim on the groove will also reinforce the panel.

9) How do I install plumbing or gas/propane in my Sing Tiny House?

  • The larger pipes can be installed either underneath the flooring or on the surface of a Sing panel. If fastening a pipe to a Sing panel, use 2” x 2” studs, then cover the piping with a faux wall (siding or another panel).

10) Where do I get furnishings for my Tiny House?

  • Please visit www.singcore.com furniture section, Sing honeycomb furniture is easy take apart without damaging for easier more efficient shipping and storage.

11) What is the R-value of the Sing Panels used to make Tiny Houses?

  • 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.

12) Are there any other insulation options for my Sing Tiny House?

  • The R-Value is based on what kind of foam is inserted inside Sing Core’s wood torsion box structure (see previous).
  • Custom foams could be substituted per your specifications at added cost.

13) Does this price include tax?

  • Prices do not include sales tax. We only collect sales tax on Tiny Houses delivered within the state of Washington.

14) What do you charge to ship Sing Tiny Houses?

  • Shipping of your Sing Tiny House depends on the size and destination for delivery. We use a variety of shipping methods including commercial freight lines and independent Tiny House delivery drivers. We always do everything possible to get you the best rate for on-time delivery of your Sing Tiny House.

15) Do Sing Tiny Houses have a tight seal?

  • Due to Sing Tiny House panels being perfectly straight, they have a tighter seal than 2×4 or 2×6 stick framed Tiny Houses which bend, warp and twist. Sing Tiny House panels are true flat and will not compromise your tight seal.

16) What skin options are available for my tiny house?

  • Almost any flat sheet goods can be used as interior skin of Sing Panel
  • For exterior surface facing the weather you might like to use an exterior material like metal, aluminum, galvanized steel, plywood or cement board
  • Other skin options include (but not limited to) plywood, HPL, 3 mm cement board, wood stave (1/8 or 1/4 inch thick wood strips) aluminum and metals

17) Do Sing Tiny Houses come with roof panels?

  • Panels are included in Sing Tiny House Kits to cover the Tiny House. Standard roof panels do not come equipped with roofing material, which is added by the contractor or recipient on site at the build location.

18) Can you help me build the lightest Tiny House?

  • We do not provide you with design assistance, just the building material. Compared to other tiny houses your Sing Tiny House will weigh less and have more usable interior space.
  • Example in identical 130 sq. ft. tiny houses on wheels: Traditional=5,600 lbs. Sing Tiny House=2,600 lbs. (light enough to tow by economical automobile).

19) How thick should the wall be in my Tiny House?

  • The thickness of your Sing Tiny House wall could be 1.125 inch thick to 3 inches thick, but the ideal thickness is 2 inch
  • It is strong lightweight and easy to work with current cam lock system and edge banding (2 inch edge banding is common size for Sing panel as trade show panels).
  • Click here to see how to assembly the wall of trade show panel wall it is similar to tiny house even regular house wall.
  • 2 inch floor and roof is fine (3 inch floor and roof even better if budget allowed for extra insulation and stiff floor.

20) What skin options are available for my Tiny House?

  • If you are looking for super lightweight and long lasting Sing Panels for walls without siding, galvanized metal and aluminum skins will be a good choice, besides 1/8 inch marine plywood (people use it to build canoes by coating with epoxy and fiberglass)
  • 1/4 inch plywood is the most common due to being lightweight and super strong. With proper prime coating, it will last for years.
  • if you have good budget use exterior grade 1/4 inch plywood or 1/4 inch marine plywood (even better). 1/4 inch thick plywood Sing Panels are solid enough to nail or screw siding over by add 1 in. x 2 in. vertical strips over w/4 inch panel then add layer of insulation or vapor barrier before add siding which could be wood(see Pic), vinyl (see Pic), or even metal (see pic)

21) What kind of fastening system should I use for my tiny house?
We do not design or recommend a fastening system, but we do see people using the following methods:

  • For walls, floors and roofs, use biscuit joining, T and H joining methods
  • Cam lock are very popular (especially if you plan to assemble, disassemble and reassemble) then add molding and base boards to reinforce the wall
  • The best way to fasten Sing Panels to other Sing Panels permanently is to use urethane glue

22) So I can make a temporary tiny house that I can break down and flat pack?
Yes:

  • if you are looking to take the entire tiny house apart to panels to panel than use cam lock with tip plate and base molding screw panels to panels —-this modualr tiny nouse kits is necessary if you are looking to build in the back yard which do not have access for a 8 ft wide tiny house,,,,,just bring in pc by pc and take disassemle it pc by pc, if this is the way to build in the challenge place

 

Sing Home Inc. mission statement: To make life easier, Sing Honeycomb Panels are simple to build with, simple to use and are built to last and this makes them beautiful, so Simple is Beautiful.

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!

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

Mazama, Washington

 

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

What door companies do not want you to know.

Today, the most common doors found in private residences contain a paper core. These doors are flimsy and are easily punctured, even when slightly impacted. Owners of these doors find themselves spending time and money on repairs, replacements, and installations that would not have been an issue had they purchased a door from Singcore. Singcore doors do not cost much more than paper-core doors, yet they have been tested to be at least 49 times stronger.

Door Security

How secure are your doors? With our patented core, you can rest assured that our torsion box technology will stand up to harsh treatment and all weather conditions. Our doors have been thoroughly tested and have been proven to withstand the impact of a sledgehammer. There is no comparison between the stability, structure, and strength of Sing Core doors versus paper-core doors.

This is a Sing Overhead Garage Door Panel compared next to a typical steel overhead garage door panel. Same size and thickness but as you can see the steel panel buckles with only a few pounds put on it while the Sing Panel holds almost all of Inventor Peter Sings weight without any problem.

Stronger than Steel,

Lighter than Wood

Doors do not have to be made out of steel to be rigid and strong. Sing Core doors are stronger and lighter, than steel and vinyl doors. Standard steel overhead garage doors are made of steel so thin that a golf ball can dent it. This is not the case with Sing Core doors. We offer higher quality doors at prices competitive with steel doors with quality superior to wooden doors.

Sing Core doors are more stable, provide better insulation, and are far lighter than solid wood doors. The torsion-box core holds the Sing Core door flat, ensuring that that the panel will not warp and sag like ordinary wood.

Patented Sing Door Methods

Sing Core doors are versatile and customizable. Every order is custom designed with the client’s project in mind. Each door is constructed using methods that specifically cater to our customers’ individual needs. We construct our doors using the following methods: pole barn grade, paint grade, wood grain grade, and plank grade.

 

 

How We Build Our Doors (The Best Method – Sing Torsion Box Panel Method)

The easiest way to build the best doors.

Step 1 – Apply Glue to the Skin

Step 2 – Build Solid Wood Frame

Step 3 – Install the patented Sing honeycomb torsion box core & press on the skins.

Step 4 (optional) – Cut hole for window and prepare window trim.

Step 5 (optional) – Install glass and finish the door to desired look and function.

Step 6 – Install the door onto jam.

 

Method 2 – How We Build Our Doors (The Second Best Method – Stile Rail)

 

On the left are patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail. On the right is veneer (walnut) ready for gluing onto the patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail.

 

Apply glue to our patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail.

 

Press veneer to patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail. Most honeycomb panels cannot handle the high pressure and temperatures of the hot press, Sing honeycomb can.

 

Stile and Rail after the veneer has been pressed on.

 

See how straight the patented Sing honeycomb stile and rail are, yet they are still incredibly strong and lightweight.

 

Drill holes to accept dowels.

 

Doweled and glued.

SingCore Metal Products

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.

 

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.
