Dutch Door

What is a Dutch door?

Sometimes called stable doors, half doors, and double-hung doors, a dutch door is an exterior entry door that is cut in half, and the top section is hinged to open separately from the bottom. A popular rural look, these doors allow the top half to be opened for ventilation while keeping the bottom half closed to keep in children and pets.

Dutch doors offer a unique rustic look that can bring a ting of nostalgia to your kitchen door, patio door, or other exterior door design.

What is the purpose of a Dutch door?

Dutch doors allow their top section to open independently of the bottom. In essence this allows the door to function as a window, for ventilation and cooling, while keeping the lower portion closed to children and animals.

Likewise, in modern design inclusion of half doors in a design offers the opportunity to connect interior and exterior spaces while maintaining a delineation and element of protection for the inside.

Modern Dutch Doors

SingCore’s slab style construction opens the way for a modern style dutch door. The hallmark of modern style is clean lines and clear shapes. Further, our wood grain panels offer warmth of real wood in either wood stave or veneer.

Blow your friends away with a steel or aluminum skinned dutch door for that high tech finish.

If you can dream it, then we are able to make your dutch door dreams a reality. Other skin options include, paint grade plywood, veneer ready (apply your own styles and rails), HPL, plastics, ceramic ready, stone ready, and more.

Are Dutch doors energy efficient?

Although dutch doors do offer one extra seam, with proper weather stripping they can be just as efficient as other doors.

Additionally, SingCore dutch doors come with our patented foam “honeycomb” core which provides extra protection from sound and the elements. Need high efficiency doors? Ask about our high density urethane foam option for double the thermal protection of our regular professional grade panels.

Can I cut a SingCore door in half?

Our SingCore panels may be cut in half using typical wood working tools. You will encounter foam, wood, and possibly a small amount of aluminum depending on the style of panel. In order to finish the expose edges, you would need to route out the core from inside the skin, and glue in new strips of wood to seal the end.

However, at sing core every panel we make is custom to order. We are more than happy to build dutch door panels directly to your size and specifications. Don’t bother cutting your door in half, when you can have the right panel ready made delivered to your shop or job site.

How much is a Dutch door?

SingCore panels are sold by size, and so a dutch door will be close to if not exactly the same price as a regular door of the same size. For pricing and a free consultation on your next project, request an estimate today.

Sliding Pocket Doors

Sliding pocket doors are an elegant way to divide two adjoining spaced provided you have adequate wall space to host pocket door cavities to accommodate this type of in wall sliding door. The most attention harvesting approach to sliding pocket doors is to include a double pocket door in your presentation, where each slider separates in opposite directions to be housed within the wall for a concealed sliding door effect.

 

 

Standard sliding pocket doors, like a Home Depot pocket door or a pocket door Lowes make readily available will do the trick in most cases.

Why?

As you may already know or have guessed, if a pocket door were to warp, this could render the door inoperable, and if you’ve had a home with sliding pocket doors, you are already aware that at certain times of the year your sliders are inoperable because they have moved according to changes in the environment, and forcing them open or to close them will cause damage and result in costly repairs.

The entire door industry is aware of this and makes accommodations for the movement of standard sliding pocket doors. In fact, AWI standards allow a quarter-inch variance along any point of a standard sliding door, citing a .25-inch bend as “normal” and as such any 7 ft. or less door with ¼” warp is considered straight and not warped.

If a door has a bend which measures over a quarter of an inch of deflection in either direction among a 7-foot span, this is considered as a warped door. Therefore, all professional hardware and door manufacturers consider these variances in the hardware and installation of all sliding pocket doors and their components as standard operating procedures.

Large Sliding Door Strong Straight Warp Free

Problem Sliding Pocket Doors

This is the main problem when considering a sliding pocket door addition to your design or project, the potential warping of the material of which the door itself is made of. Of course, you could make the door of solid steel, to prevent it from warping, which many a frustrated door engineer has done, but such a heavy in wall sliding door presents a whole new set of problems which may compromise the supporting structure or certainly cause extra stress and strain on the hardware which will require more ongoing maintenance over time.

Solution Sliding Pocket Doors

Then, one day, inventor Peter Sing introduced the sliding pocket door solution which eliminated the issue of warping sliding pocket doors altogether. He is now the president of Sing Core, the manufacturer of his patented and patent-pending sliding door technologies which enables sliding pocket door companies, millworks, and custom door manufactures to create a warp-free door of any size, even large oversized pocket doors over 7 ft. to 50 ft.

Utilizing Sing’s hybrid solid reinforced vertical grain torsion box composite sliding pocket door core, builders of pocket doors are able to create the most lightweight large high precision (Sing’s core boasts .006-in. tolerances) door slabs that are stronger than steel pound for pound and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup, or otherwise fail for 50-years!

50-Year Warp-free Sliding Pocket Doors

The only 50-year guaranteed sliding pocket door core technology is changing the way doors are made across the board, affecting both interior pocket door as well as exterior pocket doors, because Sing’s patented core provides so many additional benefits besides non-warping performance over time.

The Sing solution also includes patent-pending supporting technologies which can be included in the base-door design which provides anti-warp characteristics which can be adapted and changed according to skin facings on said door. This enables custom sliding pocket door manufacturers to create an enormous wood pocket door that will not warp, unlike a solid wood pocket door which can be guaranteed to warp not long following installation.

More Benefits of Having Sing Core Inside

Besides the warp-free enhancements, Sing, packs extra insulation inside his hybrid solid sliding door composite core material for sound-deadening capabilities and added climate control. The lightweight characteristics of Sing’s door core material is off the charts when factoring unparalleled strength, resilience, and anti-deflection. All saving the expense of using heavy duty hardware (not necessary for Sing’s lightweight alternatives) and nearly cutting out regular ongoing maintenance associated with heavy or warping sliding pocket doors.

How to Make the Best High-end Veneer Doors

If you approach the most prestigious millworks in the world and ask them how to make the best high-end veneer doors in the world, you are likely to receive a response which references Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending veneer door technologies and his Master Quality Door Veneer Surfaces.

9 ft Tall Oversized Exterior Walnut Veneer Door 50 yr Guarantee

Wood veneer doors are growing in popularity due to the design features which are available in matching grain orientation on the faces of the door. The most popular orientation is called “book match” which orients leaves of veneer opened alongside each other in alternating pairs, like opening a book, where the left leaf mirrors the leaf on the right.

Book matched veneer doors are followed by “slip match” veneer doors, where the grain orientation of the leaves all face the same direction alongside one another.

There are other types of veneer matching which includes “end match,” where veneer leaves are mirrored end to end, “reverse slip match” which alternates veneer strips flipped end to end, which greatly reduces any mirroring effect, producing a more natural result. “Random match,” which shuffles all the pieces and creates a more unique succession of veneers placed side by side.

Then, there is “blueprint” which is sequential veneer from a single source to cover an entire area. Complete rooms are the most impressive when they are blueprint veneered. Some jobs include matching blueprint door skins as well. Proceed with caution, making sure there is enough source material to complete the job, and there is no room for mistakes.

Beyond these veneer matching options; special matches can be made to create a desired artistic result for high-end architectural veneer doors.

These matching capabilities are unique to veneer because veneer is sliced so thin that there is grain duplication which can be matched or mismatched according to an artist’s or designer’s vision.

Veneer Door Problems

When tasked with bringing a veneer door to life, the production team can run into problems associated with building veneer door as specified while achieving high precision high-end results which the most demanding exclusive door clients find highly desired and valuable.

1. Perfectly Smooth Veneer Problem

High end veneer doors need to be perfectly smooth. Because the veneer skins are so thin, you will notice “telegraphing” on the skin surface. The term telegraphing refers to essentially the bleeding-through of any of the under-laying surface, which will impact the viewable surface area of the veneer.

If you apply veneer directly to a plywood surface, for instance, in the right light, you will be able to see the terrain of the plywood through the thin veneer.

In large doors, it can be extremely difficult to find a large enough piece of smooth underlayment material, so if there are seams in the material under the veneer, this would also telegraph through to the surface.

One way to achieve a perfectly smooth surface is to use LVL (which is commonly used by most standard door manufacturers underneath wood veneers) or MDF which are smooth but heavy, and both are limited in size availability. So, if your high-end veneer door is oversized (over 4 x 8 or 5 x 10) it can be impossible to find a single seamless product.

2. High Precision Veneer Problem

High precision is a moving target when approaching the design and production of a veneer door. The surface material may be elegantly fashioned, but if the product which the door is made out of has a tendency to move, then you could be in trouble when the door warps, causing inconvenience and potentially expensive regular maintenance and repairs in the field over time.

Due to the nature of standard door building technologies, the AIA allows for ¼” variances for a 7 ft. span of a door. Door manufacturers and door hardware manufacturers allow for these variances in mounting and hardware. If a door exceeds movement over ¼” along any 7 ft. span, the result is a warped door, which can easily be compromised or fail altogether.

Veneer Door Solutions

Thanks to Peter Sing’s True Flat Team, you can have your high-end veneer door problems solved in a way that increases your credibility as you deliver the highest results imaginable with your most particular high-end clients.

1. Perfectly Smooth Veneer Solution

Sing’s True Flat team works hand in hand with your favorite door manufacturer, millwork, or custom door manufacturer to provide a perfectly flat, smooth surface for applying your favorite veneer to.

For years, Sing’s factory located in the pristine pacific Northwest in Washington State, has been providing the biggest and best door manufacturers in the world with large smooth surfaces for applying veneers for wood doors. Sometimes Sing’s factory applies the veneers, and in other cases Sing only provides the substrate in the form of door blanks to which the door companies apply their own veneers to.

Seamless technology. Thanks to Sing’s patented veneer door core, his factory is able to provide a perfectly flat surface hosting undetectable seam(s). While seams may be unavoidable due to the large size or a particular door, Sing has the patented technology to create an unfinished door blank veneer substrate that will not move, period.

Once the substrate is prefinished and primed, seams are undetectable. While this may be of concern for other veneer door substrates, such as LVL or MDF, this is not a problem for becoming detectable later, because Sing’s veneer door substrates are built not to move, at all.

2. High Precision Veneer Solution

Sing’s patented veneer doors core substrate is built to the highest precision standards (+/- .006 in. tolerances) which means a lot to those special clients who have the highest expectations (like military, science, technology, and aerospace industries). Why not deliver this same high level of precision to your clients who deserve the best?

In fact, Sing’s veneer door blanks, whether they are pre-skinned with wood veneer or veneered by your favorite door building professional, are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup, or otherwise fail for 50 years.

How Can I Get a Sing Veneer Door?

Admittedly, says Sing, “We don’t build doors,” as they only provide the best materials to the door companies, millworks, and high-end custom door manufacturers to build the best doors. So, if you want a Sing veneer door, all you have to do is to contact your favorite door manufacturer and tell them you want, “Sing Core inside,” your veneer door.

Then Sing and his True Flat Team will work in concert with your people to provide you with the best veneer door in the world, guaranteed for 50 years.

Custom Sliding Barn Doors

Custom sliding barn doors are all the rage in the burgeoning interior décor amidst new home designs, as well as becoming a creative space control alternative to expandable business offices, commercial spaces, and industrial locations which can be elegant as well as functional.

Custom sliding barn doors have the advantage of being, well, custom. That is to say they are fully customizable modern barn doors. These are not some off-the-shelf one-size-fits-all solution. Rather, you, your office, or facility has an opening of indeterminate size. Simply measure the opening and have your custom barn doors made to fit the opening perfectly.

Depending on the opening and the walls which run parallel to said opening, your sliding barn doors can be custom built in length, width, and thickness to fully solve any issues you may have with the opening in question.

 

If the opening is an extremely large opening, say twenty feet, then you could use one 20 ft. wide custom barn door to fill the gap, assuming you have twenty feet of wall space on either side of the opening to slide the sliding barn door to in the fully open position. If there is only ten feet of wall space on both sides, then you could use double custom sliding barn doors to fill the need.

Trim added to create a raised panel door

One of the advantages of custom sliding barn doors, is ease of installation. Hanging barn doors has always been a breeze, and that’s why they are so often found on barns (hence their name “barn doors”). Sliding barn door hardware is fairly basic as it only involves installing a rod for hanging the barn doors and attaching wheels to the barn doors which roll back and forth atop the rod. Quick, easy, painless.

 

It’s just as easy to install interior barn doors and the accompanying barn door hardware just about anywhere you have an opening, especially since you can have custom barn doors of any size made specifically for your requirements.

Some of the problems associated with custom sliding barn doors are associated with weight and strength. Commonly, custom sliding barn doors are very heavy. Heavy solid wood sliding barn doors can be problematic in that they cause stress and strain on the hardware and the structure. The larger the interior barn doors, the heavier they are, requiring heavy duty sliding barn door hardware (which can easily be more expensive than the door itself) and requiring more maintenance and repair over time.

 

Also, solid wood sliding barn doors are prone to warp, as the natural characteristic of wood grain is to expand and contract adjusting to changes in the environment. Large doors made of nearly any flat building material is likely to move as well if it is over 7 ft. tall or 3 ½ ft. wide. Therefore, weight and strength have huge impact on custom sliding barn doors, if they are large oversized custom barn doors.

That’s where president and inventor Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending lightweight high-strength warp-free Sing Core comes in. Using sing’s core, any custom-made sliding barn door can be made of any material in any size, up to 40-50 ft. and be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for a full 50 years.

 

This blows the doors off any limitations which may face architects, designers, and door engineers faced with the task of building sustainable custom-made barn doors because they can now be made of any material in any size, hung from less expensive barn door hardware and have little or no maintenance or repair over time (50 years) as long as they have Sing Core inside.

 

No need imagining that you could have custom wood interior doors in any style, size, and species without fear of warping or costly ongoing maintenance because thanks to Sing’s inventions, this is the new reality.

 

Custom Sliding Barn Doors with Glass

Want to stand out of the crowd, go ahead and design your custom made sliding barn doors with windows placed at specific locations in any shape for that extra “something special” which sets you apart.

You are the creator of your own custom milled barn doors, so go ahead, cut out those lite openings anywhere you want and make a signature statement easily and effectively where you have any gap between two adjoining walls.

Note that at Sing Core, we don’t actually build the beautiful doors for which we have become so acclaimed. Sing Core is the Eco-friendly core inside custom millwork sliding barn doors that are built to never fail.

The most contemporary modern barn door companies, millworks, and builders of custom sliding barn doors are enabled to bring to life the most awesome sliding barn door ideas to life featuring any available variety of wood types or other building materials, such as aluminum, brass, cold rolled steel, concrete, diamond plate steel, fiberglass, FRP, glass, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, Masonite, stainless steel, well, you get the idea…

Fully supporting those who design and build custom barn doors that are envied in the industry.
