Modern Pivot Door

The modern pivot door is expanding the possibilities and stretching the imagination of architects and designers around the world. Modern pivot doors are not the heavy or clunky big pivoting doors that require regular maintenance just to keep them functional, like those of days gone by. No, the modern pivot door is lightweight, fully insulated, and can be guaranteed not to fail for 50 years.

modern pivot door

Sleek, modern entryways may feature large wood pivot doors as front doors that are not only hugely functional but eco-friendly and sustainable for a better world. In the past, large wood pivot hung entry doors used in exterior and interior applications were difficult to create, install, manage, and maintain over time, but not if your modern pivot door has Sing Core inside.

Sing Core offers a variety of strength, flexibility, and value to the architectural pivot door industry that cannot be achieved otherwise. The biggest and best professional pivot door companies, millworks, and high sophisticated hand-crafted custom pivot door artisans say,

“There’s just no other way to do it.”

By “do it,” they mean that you just cannot make a large modern pivot door and keep is straight and true without starting with Sing Core as the foundation of all your modern pivot doors.

If you want exterior wood doors that pivot that are fail-free pivot front doors with flawless service records that are guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years, then you are best advised to make sure that Sing Core is in your modern pivot door specification.

Looking for Sing Core

Many people discover Sing Core when they are scouring the vast array of resources that exist in our modern-day digital age searching for inspiration for modern pivot doors and they set out to buy a modern pivot door with Sing Core inside. It doesn’t take long for them to figure out that getting such a door is easier said than done.

While the world’s best modern pivot doors do have Sing Core inside, Sing Core does not make modern pivot doors. Sing Core does work with the professional pivot door companies, manufacturers, and artisans, providing them with the material to make these large modern entryways happen. Allowing architects and architectural door designers to spread their wings, while Sing Core brings their modern pivot door dreams to life and helps them soar.

 

Inventor, Peter Sing, uses his expertise including his unique patented and patent-pending modern pivot door technologies to create the fully lightweight, fully insulated, warp-free substrate that makes these best modern custom front entry doors possible.

How does Sing do it?

Sing’s patented solution starts with a reinforced, fully insulated, premium modern door core, then adds any variety of additional anti-warp technologies based on the size of the pivot door, the structure, the structure’s location and elevation, the orientation of the door, and the exterior skin of the door.

High Precision

And when it comes to precision, Sing’s core sports incredible tolerances of +/- .006 inch, which also supports the ability to deliver such outstanding results, truly a technological advancement in the industry.

As you may have guessed, large wood pivot doors present the biggest challenge, since natural wood grains tend to move and adjust according to changes in temperature, barometric pressure, and moisture in the air. Sing’s solution addresses these issues and cancels them out for any custom-made modern pivot door made of wood.

In this respect, Sing’s modern-day pivot doors, are true modern style doors even though Peter Sing admits he does not make modern pivoting doors. Sing says,

“We do not make the doors we are famous for. The architect specs ‘Sing Core Modern Pivot Door’ and we work with the people who are highly skilled in making our doors look and operate so good. It is a great team effort with magnificent results.”

When size matters, modern architecture is seeking solutions like Sing’s core, to deal with the challenges associated with the oversized front door issues.

How big can they be?

Up to 50 feet, or more with Sing Core.

The light weight of modern pivot doors with Sing Core inside makes custom modern pivot door installation a breeze. And the problems associated with using exterior modern pivot doors are just faint memories of the past thanks to Sing’s core, which also provides insulation for sound deadening capabilities and increased climate control.

Now you know why the best premium modern pivot doors have Sing Core specified in the architectural specifications, because if you want exterior wood doors that pivot, without having to deal with the high potentiality of failure due to warp or delamination, like they say, Sing’s core “is the only way to do it.”

Whether your modern pivot doors are single, multiples, or motorized custom-made pivot doors, you can maintain the modern appearance of strikingly new pivot doors while increasing longevity and performance in a fully sustainable manner.

Hot Press Veneer Professionals

Hot Press Veneer Professionals are More Successful and Profitable with Sing Core

For years, Sing Core has been providing high-end local and nationwide hot press veneer professionals with premium core material that eliminates the need for crossbanding.

Let’s face it, nothing can compete with the beauty and elegance of a perfectly hot-pressed panel, and for that sweet-spot in the marketplace, those clients that demand the best and are willing to pay for it. Millworkers choose to have Sing Core provide the substrate for their doors.  Our substrate provides the best basis for laying veneer.  The manufacturers and millworks that have Sing Core inside their hot-pressed products are making bank by specializing in these ultra-high-end projects.

Sing Core provides the perfect substrate for laying veneer.  With our True Flat technology, the surface is always truly flat and smooth.  If you are skilled with laying veneer, we recommend purchasing our panels with a 1/8″ MDF over 1/4″ plywood skin.  The plywood provides additional strength while the MDF exterior provides a supremely smooth surface for veneering.  If you plan to apply wood staves, then we recommend purchasing your panel with our AB grade plywood.

Hot Press Veneer Professionals

From the Inventor of Sing Core

Sing Core Inventor Peter Sing

I get asked by hot press veneer shops, if we are in competition with them? And the answer is, “No.” Even though we are specified by architects all over the country in large veneer projects, and mostly in huge veneer doors, we do not do the veneer. What we do is to provide our substrate to the best hot press veneer professionals we know. If a contractor contacts us first because we were spec’d on the job, we have him tell us which veneer company he wants us to work with, and my team is willing to help match up the best material and veneer services if they ask us for their advice, and that’s what we do.

I have invented patented and patent-pending solutions for high precision veneer projects that take the pain out of the challenges normally associated with big, long-spanning high-end jobs, anywhere from the San Francisco MOMA to the top of the World Trade Center’s Freedom Tower.

The top reasons the architects specify Sing Core is because

  1. We use only the best hot-press veneer companies to apply the best veneers, because we understand that doing veneering really great is an art, and we suggest only using the best artist, as you would on any important project.
  2. Sing Core does what we do best, that is to provide the best substrate for veneer specialists to lay high quality veneer with the best guarantees in the woodworking industry.
  3. The people and companies that we work with are the best in their field and they don’t have to worry anymore about if this will work or how to solve problems associated with weight, dimensional stability, warping, or long lifespan. We’ve spent years in R&D to make sure that the biggest doors in the world do not have to warp anymore, and the biggest door companies trust Sing Core to make it so. 
  4. Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound and less than 1/3 the weight of doors made of solid wood core. Sing Core provides a high precision strong full bonding surface for veneering to that is so smooth crossbanding is not required. How high precision? Try +/- .oo6 inch, compare that to any other core material.
  5. Sing Core has insulation for enjoying warmth in Winter and cool Summers, is sound deadening for peace and quiet, and more dimensionally stable than other type of core such as foam core, honeycomb core, wood-based core.

You may not see everything we do because it is hidden deep inside the door or panel, but it’s there and many people can sleep soundly at night knowing that we have done all the hard work in advance, so that you don’t have to worry about endless maintenance calls.

What makes a hot-pressed panel worth so much more with Sing Core inside?

Architects are increasingly specifying their large high-end hot pressed veneer panelized walls, features, and doors have Sing Core inside (accounting for about one-third of all our products which are sent to the greater New York-area). The contractors generally contact Sing Core directly first, due to being specified. Though Sing Core does not actually do the veneering. Sing Core provides the high precision substrate that is shipped 3,000 miles from the manufacturing location in Washington State, to the high end millwork in New York (or wherever the nearest hot press specialist is near the construction site) to do the veneering there.

 

You will find Sing Core inside high-end hot pressed veneered ceilings, walls, floor, and doors in the most demanding architectural designs and projects.

Why?

Why must architects and designers go through such an unusual process to meet the needs of these high production and precision projects? According to those who are specifying and using Sing Core in their projects,

“There’s just no other way to do it.”

 

Large Size Concept Consideration

In an age when the biggest projects often include large spanning surface areas wrapped in beautiful wood veneer, the large scope of such a project is problematic. You are dealing with immense spans of material which is difficult to maintain straight and true, because at that size, most material will begin to move with changes in temperature, humidity, or other environmental variations. Sing Core is the only known method of keeping these spans straight and true. That is why the biggest door companies use Sing Core inside their doors that are over 9 ft. tall, because it doesn’t take much movement in a large door to render it inoperable. Then you do not have a door, you have an obstacle, or a bowed wall that needs to be dealt with. This leads to Sing Core’s primary function in these huge projects,

Warp-Free Hot Pressed Veneer

Particularly in high-end designs featuring the beauty of hot pressed veneer, the last thing you want is your project to express variances or changes. The desire is to have a completely flat surface that can span great length without warping. This is what Sing Core provides. It is the reason large doors (even extremely large doors) are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years, because they have Sing Core inside.

Highest Precision

High precision is a sought-after attribute of some of the most demanding clients, and Sing Core’s high precision (+/- .006 tolerance) gives them the high end performance that your clients are willing to pay extra for.

Lightweight Veneer Panels

Hot pressed veneer panels with Sing Core inside weigh less, not much more than a hollow core panel, but feature a fully insulated warp-free solid hybrid core that is 100% surface-area bondable.

100% Surface Bondable

That means, no weak spots like you might see in honeycomb-type cores, which offer only 10% or less surface bonding area. This full-bonded surface area inside the panel eliminates delamination over time.

 

Fully Insulated Veneer Panels

The insulation value is important in high-end hot pressed veneer applications for both climate control and sound deadening capabilities within expansive structure designs.

Less Expensive to Deploy and Install

Keeping these hot pressed veneer panels lightweight translates to less expensive shipping, handling, and hardware. They are easier to and less expensive to transport, manage and install on site with fewer risk of injuries, even if the panel is exceptionally large.

 

 

50-Year Guarantee

The non-warping hybrid core allows large door companies to build large doors that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail, including delamination.

We Do Not Veneer

We always recommend using your local veneering professionals for custom veneer doors. We do not provide veneer or install it.  It is our policy to subcontract veneering jobs to the best veneering professionals in the USA.

If you offer hot-pressed veneer services or cold-press veneering to your clientele, your highest paying customers will gladly pay you more if your panels have Sing Core inside.

Lightweight Veneer Panels

Lightweight Veneer Panels

Sing Core makes lightweight veneer panels for veneer professionals who need flat, stable, strong panels without excess weight. If your project needs real wood veneer, architectural veneer, laminate, plywood skins, or custom faces, Sing Core gives you a better core to build on.

For pricing, sizing, or a custom panel quote, visit our Estimate Page.

Why Lightweight Veneer Panels Matter

Heavy panels are harder to press, move, ship, hang, and install. Also, large panels can warp, twist, or fail over time when the core is weak or unstable.

That is why Sing Core is different.

Sing Core panels are lightweight, strong, and built to stay flat. As a result, veneer professionals can create larger, cleaner, and more stable finished panels.

Built for Veneer Professionals

Sing Core is made for professionals who care about quality. Our panels can be used with many veneer methods, including hot press veneer, cold press veneer, vacuum press veneer, and custom glue-up work.

You can apply your veneer to a stable surface while keeping the finished panel lighter than traditional solid-core options.

Benefits of Sing Core Lightweight Veneer Panels

Sing Core helps veneer shops create better finished products with less weight and better long-term performance.

Key benefits include:

  • Lightweight panel construction
  • Flat and stable surface
  • Large panel capability
  • Strong structural core
  • Reduced handling weight
  • Easier shipping and installation
  • Better long-term dimensional stability
  • Custom thickness and size options
  • Great for doors, walls, furniture, and architectural panels

Lightweight Veneer Panels for Doors

Sing Core is especially useful for veneered doors. Large wood doors often become too heavy when built with traditional materials. They can also warp over time.

With Sing Core, you can build lightweight veneer doors that are easier to move, easier to install, and more stable after installation.

This is ideal for:

  • Large custom doors
  • Oversized veneer doors
  • Pivot doors
  • Sliding doors
  • Pocket doors
  • Architectural doors
  • Commercial doors
  • High-end residential doors

Large Veneer Panels Without Excess Weight

Veneer professionals often need large panels that stay flat. However, large plywood, MDF, particleboard, or solid-core panels can become extremely heavy.

Sing Core solves that problem.

Our lightweight veneer panels can be made large while still staying strong and stable. Therefore, you can create oversized panels without adding unnecessary weight.

Better Core. Better Finished Panel.

The quality of a veneer panel starts with the core. If the core moves, twists, swells, or fails, the finished veneer suffers.

Sing Core gives you a stable foundation for premium veneer work. This helps protect the look, feel, and performance of the finished product.

Uses for Lightweight Veneer Panels

Sing Core lightweight veneer panels can be used for many applications, including:

  • Veneered doors
  • Wall panels
  • Ceiling panels
  • Cabinet panels
  • Conference tables
  • Furniture panels
  • Architectural panels
  • Millwork projects
  • Large decorative panels
  • Custom commercial interiors

Why Choose Sing Core?

Sing Core is not just a filler material. It is a structural lightweight core designed to help professionals build stronger, flatter, lighter panels.

When weight, flatness, strength, and long-term stability matter, Sing Core is a better choice than many traditional panel cores.

The Best Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are the perfect way to complement to your home’s individuality. Sliding doors are ideal for smaller spaces, due to their space saving nature. Some sliding doors even slide completely out of sight and into the interior of the adjoining wall. These doors create a pristine and merely seamless entrance to any room. We are glad to provide you with the best sliding doors in the industry.

Sliding doors consist of one or more door panels that open by either gliding on a track or hanging from rollers mounted above. This style of door is very sensitive to weight, as the entirety is often hanging from the top of the door jamb. If the doors are too heavy, this can cause some serious and potentially dangerous issues. Sing Core have the solution to these issues.

Traditionally built sliding doors have a tendency to warp over time. That may not seem like a big deal, but it can make the door fall from its track.

Breaking News: Thin Doors Need Strength Too

Breaking News: Thin Doors Need Strength Too!

Sing Core has always been on the leading edge of the reinforced structural panel industry.

Our panels are among the lightest, strongest, and overall best on the market.

Watch the video below and hear how solid our doors really are.
 



This panel is super thin for its overall span. Overall thickness is only 1 3/4″. Our patented torsion box honeycomb allows us to create lightweight high strength panels that can be any size without any warping. Solid wood would be very heavy and can potentially warp shortly after being produced. This panel is a whopping 65 1/2″ x 120″ and only weighs 139.6 lbs.!

As you can see, the skin is birch plywood that is less than 1/8″ thick. Combined with our torsion box honeycomb design, this panel will be stable and remain rigid for many years.
Due to this panel being truly flat, it can stand alone on edge. If there was any deflection, the panel would be unable to balance.

Can any anyone else achieve this?

A door with these dimensions is greatly feared by many door manufacturers. A door like this is nearly impossible to build without having issues. Common issues with doors so large and so thin include warping, delamination, prevalent weak points, and many others. If this were produced with solid wood, the door would be unable to stand alone due to not being true flat. Sing Core’s true flat doors and panels comply with AWI standards and can stand alone.

Sing Core’s patented lightweight and high strength torsion box honeycomb core design makes building oversized doors easy and provides lasting strength and durability. We know our doors and panels are among the lightest and strongest on the market, so we guarantee every door and panel for 50 years!

We never do veneering in house. We only trust local professionals for veneering services. Sing Core only provides substrate to be veneered. We highly recommend using your local veneering professionals. Veneering requires highly trained professionals to ensure a quality finished product.

Our substrate with MDF is very good for hot pressing as well as preventing telegraphing in the outer skin. This is the best option for ensuring a quality veneered door panel. With Sing Core substrate and 1/8″ MDF, no cross-banding is required. MDF is a very stable substrate to use.

For other applications, plywood is very strong and provides the best dimensional stability. This is the best option for applying overlays, such as wood staves, drywall, concrete board, etc… We offer many different plywood options, see our skin type page for more information.

WINDOW AND DOOR CUTOFFS

Sing Core provides Sing panels with window and door pre-cut and ready for installation. We will cut 1/8 larger in width and 3/16 inch wider in length to fit your window glass. We build a frame using 1.25 inch solid wood to your specifications.

MOLDING/TRIM

Sing Core windows and doors are profile ready for CNC routing. You may add molding or trim to create your own window or door design, otherwise we will provide you with thicker skin – such as 1/4 inch or thicker mdf, hardboard, etc. – for you to carve or profile by CNC machine. With Sing Core windows and doors you can create a true raised-panel door or any design you desire.

TRIMMED OR UNTRIMMED (RAW EDGES)

The standard ready-to-ship panel condition is, “untrimmed.” This leaves unfinished exterior edges that may have exposed adhesive and might require being built ½ inch over-sized for trimming at your location. An additional fee will be assessed for trimming and sizing in our factory.

All trimmed edges are 1/2 inch over width and 1/2 inch over length. After trimming, your Sing Panel will be 1/2 inch less (4 x 8 will be 47.5 inch x 95.5 inch). Standard solid wood edging with 1.5 inch will be reduced to 1.25 inch after trimming.

UNTRIMMED PANEL (RAW)

Many of our customers prefer their panels untrimmed because this allows them to trim their panels to exact size on site before installing them in their door openings.  That way they can have the peace of mind that their door will fit the opening exactly as intended.

TRIMMED PANEL

Customers who want their panels cut to exact size before they receive them should choose the trimmed selection.  This gives them the option of doing less work on site, but it also means they must be much more precise with their measurements before ordering their panels.  Trimmed also costs slightly more because it is more labor intensive to trim the panels in house.
