Exterior Steel Doors

Exterior steel doors are becoming more commonplace in upscale communities where safety and security are top concerns. Steel doors are a strong defense against intruders and can withstand just about anything compared to other metal doors.

An aluminum door is probably the most economical way to approach a metal door, but exterior steel doors are in a category all their own.

Modern architecture and design are incorporating more exterior steel doors in their designs, though they could run the gamut from an architectural stainless-steel door to a galvanized steel door, depending on the nature of the project at hand.

Also note that the bronze door is now making its way into the minds of designers and are on the lips of those who want something particularly unique, to in a sense, stand out from the crowd. It is this uniqueness that has them coming back for more.

If your exterior steel door is fully exposed to the elements, you’ll want to take that into consideration when you’re designing the door. Your door engineer will know what challenges you will be facing, for if this is for a high-end project, then you don’t want to leave your client straddled with long-term maintenance at every change of the season.

Solid exterior steel doors are not practical as they are far too strong, and hollow core exterior steel door provide little protection from the elements or intrusion. And when that direct sunlight hits that steel door, look out… There’s no telling what shape it will take on.

The Sing Core Exterior Steel Door Solution

Sing Core provides the perfect solution by delivering a lightweight solid composite cored exterior door that is extremely high precision, impact resistant, insulated for both climate control and sound deadening capabilities.

 

And you’re never limited to the type of steel door that you want, as each Sing Core exterior steel door that they are involved in is more often than not a unique piece of artwork, the culmination of a visionary idea, with the engineers, in cooperation with Sing Core’s true Flat Team, which results in an unparalleled steel door that can be guaranteed for structural integrity and warp-free performance for 50 years!

For instance, stainless steel doors, galvanized steel doors, hot rolled steel doors, cold rolled steel doors, and diamond plate steel doors are among our most popular steel entry doors. Residential steel doors come in many shapes and sizes, but when your exterior steel doors are found as part of a multi-million-dollar home, these residential steel security doors could be enormous in size.

Large exterior steel doors leave the biggest impact on those who have cone the extra mile in contemporary architecture design, where the imagination and visualization of the architect is brought to life by creating large exterior steel doors, often floor to ceiling spans.

While your steel door could be in any style, shape, or feature any light opening cut out, these big steel doors are mostly operated as steel pivot front doors.

The whole idea about having steel security doors is the possession of a door that makes a huge security advantage with the largest number of features and benefits you’d be hard-pressed to find in other security steel doors.

Whether you’re looking for residential steel doors, steel garage doors, or commercial steel doors, Sing Core gives you the decided advantage because if your steel doors have Sing Core inside, they are,

• Eco-friendly
• Lightweight
• High strength
• Fully insulated
• Sound dampening
• Increased climate control
• Dimensionally stable
• Any style
• Any size (up to 50 ft.)
• 50-year structure
• 50-year warp-free guarantee

Isn’t it time you started specifying your exterior steel doors have, “Sing Core inside?”

AB Ply or MDF Paintgrade

There are 2 of the most popular types of paintgrade options available for your architectural door specs from Sing Core, and each includes patented Sing technologies to maximize the potential of these formats, ensuring you can enjoy the only

50-year Warp-free Guarantee

Sing Core Paintgrade Door Blanks

WARP-FREE AB PLYWOOD WARP-FREE MDF
  • Made from multiple layers of wood veneer, AB plywood is a strong wood fiber material.
  • AB plywood is water resistant and good for use in exterior door applications.
  • AB plywood face grain can be easily stained.
  • AB plywood holds screws very tightly since the varying grains of wood on each layer give the screws something to hold onto.
  • AB plywood is an excellent substrate for applying natural wood stave, wood planks, or other materials.
  • Warp-free MDF is lighter in weight and stronger than other MDF.
  • The surface of MDF is very smooth which makes it great surface for painting.
  • MDF is very consistent throughout, so cut edges appear smooth and won’t have voids or splinters.
  • Because of the smooth edges, you can use a router to create decorative edges.
  • Warp-free MDF is excellent substrate for applying veneers or other thin laminates.

The most popular and least expensive is AB Ply.

Warp-free AB Ply

Our AB Ply is used in oversized exterior door applications and is constructed using water resistant adhesive using an A-grade veneer face, C-grade inner plies, and a B-grade back which is used for securing patented Sing Core. AB plywood, is a better grade of plywood, commonly used in cabinetry, where the backside need not be presentation quality.

Only AB plywood door blanks with Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years.

Generally, “AB” designation means that it will be free of knots in their outer layers, though color variations and a few healthy intergrown knots may occur infrequently. If there are any pin knots, they would only a few mm in diameter.

The A refers to the best side which is a furniture grade veneer and B the opposite side. Plywoods with grades A and B are used for finishing purposes.

The A-grade side is the highest quality veneer and most sheets will be free of flaws resulting in a plywood surface that is smooth and can be prepped and painted easily.

Warp-free MDF Guaranteed True Flat for 50 Years

Warp-free MDF

Sing Core’s MDF is not your father’s MDF. Inventor Peter Sing has developed a method or creating a perfectly smooth surface, which is a well-known characteristic of MDF, which is lightweight MDF and will not warp. Moving due to lack of strength, especially amidst long spans, is also a well-known characteristic of MDF.

Sing uses a combination of patented and patent-pending technologies which result in the only large warp-free MDF door blanks in the door industry. That’s why Sing Core is known for creating the highest grade MDF in the door industry.

When making big doors, like the large oversized doors which Sing Core is famous for, to try to use MDF without Sing Core inside would be like building a door with a giant noodle, granted the surface would still be smooth as can be.

Because MDF is not water resistant it is not recommended for exterior applications, so avoid specifying MDF for large entry doors due to its inherit weakness, instead spec AB plywood as your base material instead.

Due to the smoothest surface area material, MDF can easily be painted, or used as underlayment for thin veneers, vinyl, or other laminations.

In fact, all the most high-end veneer-work done by Sing Core uses this warp-free MDF solution as underlayment for the perfect veneering for which they are known. See: How to Make the Best High-end Veneer Doors. Likewise, their high-end millworks and door companies who apply their own laminates, they order this material as their gold standard.

On the other hand, if your intention is to add natural wood planks, then AB plywood is preferred substrate, especially for exterior doors.

While AB plywood and MDF are the most popular there are many other skin types for plywood, paintgrade, and others.

Now, maybe you have a better idea about why architects spec Sing Core

Sliding Door Manufacture

What exactly does it take to make a superior sliding door? There are many steps and phases which the best sliding door go through in order to assure the best sliding door manufacture process is followed.

First, you start with your unique vision of the perfect sliding door for your application. What might you like it to look like? Do you want a natural wood sliding door? How might you like the grain to be oriented. You get to choose. You are the designer. You can choose from traditional vertical grain or horizontal grain, or for that contemporary sliding door design, you might like to mix it up and have grain pieces with varying orientations throughout the design of the most modern sliding door aesthetic.

Your idea might include a more industrial approach and desire a metal sliding door. Hot rolled steel sliding doors have a unique attention-grabbing effect on anyone who encounters such a work of art. You could specify and have custom manufactured sliding doors made with any type of metal. For instance, you could have an aluminum sliding door, brass sliding door, cold rolled steel sliding door, copper sliding door, diamond plate steel sliding door, galvanized steel sliding door, stainless steel sliding door, etc.

When you’re creating your ultimate sliding door, you can use any available flat building material in your sliding door’s design. Dare to create the most unique architectural sliding door possible to demonstrate your artistic prowess.

What about glass? Sliding glass doors are particularly advantageous when you desire a visual connection to the landscape surrounding your space. Glass light cutouts can be placed anywhere in your door in any shape or size. A large window opening would yield a French door approach to your sliding door. And don’t forget, you could use mirrored glass in case you have a mirror interior sliding door in mind.

Then there is the size of your sliding door. Will it be of a normal size? Or do you envision a large sliding door. These days, it seems like the larger the sliding door, the better. You can go entirely from floor to ceiling with your large sliding door if you’re so inclined.

Sliding Door Problems?

Although you are encouraged to exercise all your creative wherewithal to create the perfect custom sliding door, note there are some challenges you may run into when designing such a masterpiece.

First of all, there is the sliding door hardware which is your first potential for failure of your sliding door over time. Because sliding door operate with wheels or rollers back and forth along a track. The sliding portion could be managed by the base of the door or from the top of the door, or both top and bottom combined. Regular use of the door, as you may well know, will cause problems with the hardware.

If you’re designing a large sliding door, the weight of the door could cause the hardware to fail prematurely and may have the potential to add significant stress and strain on the structure depending on the weight and size or your door, especially if it is a very large and heavy sliding door.

The larger the door, the greater potential the door will fail to warp. If your sliding door is made of wood, wood is notorious for moving due to environmental changes. Regardless of what your sliding door is made of, it is likely subject to warp if it is an exterior door, exposed to the elements or hit by sunlight.

Sliding Door Solutions

The best sliding doors are manufactured with Sing Core inside. Patented Sing Core provides the solution to the main problems facing sliding door manufacturers. Sliding doors with Sing Core inside are one-third the weight of other solid core sliders. Since the door hardware is based on your sliding door’s weight, you save money on the original hardware costs as well as installation costs.

A lightweight sliding door means less stress and strain on the hardware and structure with regular use, which translates to saving in expensive maintenance cost of your sliding door over time.

A warping sliding door is of concern to all sliding door manufacturers, and Sing Core answer the call as the end of all warping worries because premium Sing Core helps the biggest, best, and most powerful sliding door manufacturers provide warp-free sliding doors of any size, made of any material, on a daily basis.

Aluminum Pivot Doors

The number one name in Eco-friendly lightweight and high strength aluminum pivot doors is Sing Core. There is no other patented manufacturing method can create an Eco-friendly lightweight aluminum pivot door that is fully insulated and stronger than steel pound for pound.

This aluminum pivot door weighs only 178 lbs!

This aluminum pivot door weighs only 178 lbs!

Though there is some confusion about how to obtain a Sing aluminum pivot door because Sing Core does not manufacture a retail ready aluminum pivot door. Sing Core creates their one-of-a-kind aluminum pivot door blanks, then sends it to your favorite pivot door company, custom metal pivot door manufacturer, aluminum fabrication plant, or millwork for the final touches.

You may order Sing aluminum doors from any of your regular aluminum pivot door suppliers.

21 ft tall warp-free aluminum edge pivot door

Routinely, architects specify “Sing Core inside” their architectural aluminum pivot doors. Sing Core works together with the top aluminum pivot door manufacturers in the world, who seek the best high-end thermally enhanced aluminum pivot door solutions.

Large, over-sized aluminum pivot doors are the Sing Core specialty because big aluminum pivot doors are either lightweight or strong, but only Sing Core provides an insulated aluminum pivot door which is both lightweight and super strong and are often referred to as, “The best metal doors,” available today.

Sing aluminum pivot doors are custom Made in the USA, created utilizing local labor and locally-sourced materials made in America, with very little energy expended, and no toxic manufacturing processes. The lighter weight saves in handling, transportation, and installation costs for a reduced carbon footprint and a pristine, sustainable aluminum pivot door contribution for a better United States of America.

Interior pivot doors made of aluminum with Sing Core inside are fully insulated for increased privacy when in the closed position, increasing privacy and security between adjoining spaces and are commonly specified for use as extra-large aluminum room dividers that pivot on any specific pivot point access from center or aluminum offset axis pivot door, even extreme edge pivot door hinges.

The lightweight and added insulation without compromising the overall strength of the door makes Sing Core the obvious choice when used inside aluminum pivoting room dividers for the acoustical advantages of sound isolation.

Aluminum pivot door prices vary across the board, and while these may not be the most expensive aluminum pivot door systems available, Sing Core does tend to cater towards the more high-end modern aluminum pivot door marketplace.

For increased security concerns in American aluminum pivot door products, aluminum impact resistant pivot doors are increasing in popularity and Sing Core is making an impact on the security industry charged with providing safe and secure commercial aluminum pivot doors.

You might be surprised how many times you’ve already encountered Sing Core inside storefront aluminum pivot doors, or in many educational, scientific, industrial or military applications.

Big aluminum pivot doors

We’ve often heard, “If no one can do it, call Peter Sing.” This is the most common inquiry made which introduces architects and engineers to the invaluable resource Sing Core can provide when overcoming the challenges of weight, size, insulation properties, or high precision aluminum pivot doors.

Take an exterior aluminum pivot entry door, for example. They are usually taller, and wider than other pivoting doors. If one side of the large aluminum slab faces the building’s exterior, and the other faces a more climate-controlled interior, this is a recipe for disaster.

This is why most pivoting entrance doors fail, and if your exterior aluminum pivot door fails, it may not reflect well upon your engineering, design, or creative capabilities. That’s why most companies will not warranty a large aluminum pivot door if it is over a certain size, because it will likely fail. If not soon, most likely at the next change of season. But not if it has Sing Core inside.

Each aluminum pivot door is a one of a kind work of art handmade in USA

Every premium aluminum pivot door from Sing Core comes with a 50-year warp-free and structural guarantee. Thanks to Sing’s True Flat Team, each Sing aluminum door blank is custom Made in the USA specifically for its intended use and performance expectations, and each door is guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years if used for the purpose it was created for, and no other material is so high precision.

Because Sing Core does not use welding in the patented creation process of their 50-year guaranteed aluminum pivot doors, they have extremely high tolerances for high precision aluminum pivot door manufacturing with Sing Core’s =/- .006-inch tolerances.

Which also makes the Sing aluminum pivot door the best substrate to use for a modern glass and aluminum pivot door or wood and aluminum doors. While wood might be a tug-of-war challenge for any other aluminum pivot door blank, now you can mix and match aluminum with wood without having to stress over your next aluminum pivot door with wood project, regardless of size.

The Best Metal Doors

Metal doors offer many advantages over other types of doors and are commonly featured as metal security doors, in commercial, industrial, institutional, and health care fields. You want the best metal doors because all kinds of metal doors can present problems throughout the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of a metal door’s life.

Of all the metal doors available in the marketplace today, steel doors are the most common, followed by stainless steel doors, aluminum doors, brass doors, bronze doors, cold rolled steel doors, hot rolled steel doors, Galvannealed steel doors, and galvanized steel doors.

Steel Doors

Steel doors steal the show when it comes to metal doors. Steel front doors are by far the most popular of all steel door applications. Heavy duty steel security doors are sought out for the obvious reasons to enhance safety and security for important personnel or high-risk environments.

 

 

Commercial Steel Doors

The most prevalent commercial metal doors are custom steel doors created to serve as a metal door in a clean room, protection from extreme weather conditions, coolers and freezers. Or to fill large openings in loading docks, warehouses, parking garages, nautical and aircraft hangers.

Because metal doors are so heavy, leading to increased care and maintenance, hollow metal doors are becoming more commonplace as they are less expensive and are virtually dispensable. Rather than fixing or repairing hollow metal door, they are easy enough to simply discard and replace them with another inexpensive hollow steel door.

Government installations use metal steel doors, but its not enough to just have a door made of metal, they have greater expectations in terms of high-precision and high-performance. The most distinguishing users of metal doors are seeking out manufacturers of steel doors which can deliver better precision and performance. Architects, designers, engineers, and custom metal door manufacturers are on the lookout for the best steel doors.

Architectural Metal Doors

Sing Core puts the power to create any type of metal door made of any type of metal available. Including, but not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, Galvannealed doors, and galvanized steel doors, just to name a few.

Now your architectural metal doors are only limited by your imagination. With Sing Core inside you can design the biggest, most impressive, oversized doors (doors of any size, up to 50 ft. or more) in any style, with or without light cutouts or window openings, which may include one or more man-doors. The sky’s the limit.

Join the likes of I.M. Pei and other leading contemporary architects in creating enormous one-of-a-kind metal doors and leave your mark in the architectural world.

 

 

The Best Steel Doors

The best steel doors have characteristics which differentiate them from other metal doors which are more readily available. The best steel doors will deliver high marks on the following metal door attributes:

1. Lightweight

3. High-precision
4. Insulated
5. Low-maintenance
6. Eco-friendly
7. Guaranteed

Lightweight Steel Doors

Sing Core makes the most lightweight steel doors which have solid composite cores throughout which weight little more than hollow steel doors, but with increased performance in all related areas across the board, which is the first item of business when considering whether your metal doors can pass the best metal door tests.

High Strength Steel Doors

Without compromising weight (see lightweight steel doors), Sing Core enables the best metal door manufacturers to provide their clientele with the best in superior strength performance. Even compare in side by side independent analysis, Sing Core is rated at more than 660 PSI, which is stronger than solid steel pound-for-pound, without all the unnecessary weight.

When it comes to metal door manufacturing, Sing Core door making technology uses manufacturing methods which are may times more accurate than common welding used in metal door manufacturing. In fact, Sing Core possess the highest tolerances for metal door fabrication at +/- .006 tolerances, imbuing Sing Core with the highest possible precession for demanding, high end jobs.

Insulated Steel Doors

It’s not hard to fathom how safety and security can benefit from a highly insulated steel door. Whether in high end commercial or industrial applications, or amidst health care or residential applications, the addition of high insulation can offer many benefits, making Sing’s metal doors the most energy efficient steel doors.

Sing Core delivers insulation options throughout metal doors to provide added safety and security, which provide the end user benefits which can be demonstrated as sound-deadening and increased climate control characteristics. Sing Core is often featured inside the most effective sound proof metal doors and refrigeration metal doors capitalizing on the high insulation value of having Sing Core inside.

Low Maintenance Steel Doors

Metal doors with Sing Core inside are the most comprehensive of all doors when it comes to reducing maintenance costs over time. For instance, metal doors will mainly fail due to warp or deterioration over time.

Sliding Door Evolution

Welcome to the sliding door evolution whose time has come. Architects and designers are looking at new ways to approach the challenges which one faces when incorporating sliding doors and windows. There is a lot more to take into consideration than your ordinary hinged door, especially if you throw a few variables into the mix, taxing the ability of the door engineers to solve potential problems.

This is the new sliding door evolution, pressing the envelope beyond your parent’s sliding door into an entirely new sliding door revolution. This new generation of sliding doors includes sliding doors which can be immense in size, made of a variety of available materials, including wood, the most difficult genre of sliding door making material due to its propensity to move according to changes in the environment causing the wooden sliding doors to warp.

Sliding door warping is probably the top reason why sliding doors fail, which can lead to damage to the sliding door’s finish, hardware, or even the supporting structure. Good news for entire companies who service sliding doors that fail, bad news for the people, companies, and organizations which paid top dollar for a uniquely designed, highly functional sliding door.

Top-of-the-line high-end sliding doors and windows are expensive and when a client pays a lot of money for a one-of-a-kind door that no one else has, their performance expectations increase exponentially. They think if they pay that kind of money for a sliding door, it should be high precision, fully functional, have characteristics that separate it from less expensive over-the-counter doors, and most of all fail-proof. Which, until now, was too much to ask for.

The most discerning architectural sliding door designers and engineers can now create a high-precision sliding door made of any material that outperforms any traditional sliding door, bar none, thanks to inventor, Peter Sing’s patented Sing Core. Sing knows how to build large non-warp sliding doors.

If your sliding door has Sing Core inside, you can create a large solid composite core door (up to 50 ft. or more) that can be lightweight (1/3 the weight, or less, of other door solutions), yet stronger than steel pound-for-pound (660+ PSI). Beyond lightweight and high strength attributes, you also can enjoy an Eco-friendly sliding door solution which also offers, full insulation for increased sound deadening and climate control capabilities.

While just these attributes alone would satisfy the custom sliding door manufacturers of interior sliding doors, what about exterior sliding doors?

Exterior Sliding Doors

Sliding doors on the exterior of a structure are by far the most problematic because these doors face the most dramatic of circumstances, with one side facing the structure’s interior and the other side potentially (or fully) exposed to the elements. This is a recipe for sliding door disaster. The more extreme the conditions on either side of the door, the more potential for failure due to warping.

With Sing Core inside your sliding door, you can rest assured that your sliding door is not going to warp. In fact, the inventor himself, personally guarantees each door will not bend, twist, warp, or otherwise fail (including the structure) for 50 years. This is unheard of in the door industry until today. Sing Core is responsible for making some of the most extreme doors in the world possible.

Now, you can have a fine one-of-a-kind custom high-end sliding door manufactured just for you, with all the bells and whistles you could possibly imagine, even if your design calls for an extremely large sliding door opening, fully-backed by Sing 50-year no-fail guarantee.

Therefore, you find Sing’s doors in the most predominant locations throughout the United States, from beneath the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between. Sing Core is changing the way door engineers and sliding door companies create the most highly advanced sliding doors in the world. This is the next evolutionary step in sliding door technology.

Yes, you find doors with Sing Core inside in the most expensive multi-million-dollar homes (like this one), and amidst the campuses of Fortune 500 companies, sophisticated science labs, universities, and are more rapidly appearing in the modern designs of industrial and military installations, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find Sing Core inside your residential home.

Sing Core is now getting the interest of real estate developers, not just the multi-million-dollar spec home builders. It is not unusual to see door shipments of 700 sliding doors being loaded onto trucks for delivery from Sing Core’s factory located in the Pacific Northwest’s Washington State to the newest real estate development(s) which could be near you. We work with construction companies and help them win the bid for quantity commercial door orders. and often help direct inquiries to help match Sing sliding doors for homeowners.

You may be living in a condominium or apartment and have a sliding door with Sing Core inside and not even know about it. And if you don’t have a sliding Sing door, maybe you should be thinking about joining the sliding door revolution and getting one for yourself. See our new C Series line of Affordable Barn Door and Sliding Closet Doors.

Not surprisingly, most of the sliding doors with Sing Core inside ship to the Eastern seaboard, with most of them landing in the greater New York area where the specific characteristics of Sing’s invention are most heralded among the high-end contemporary architecture and design firms, even reaching the highest location possible on the top floor of the One World Trade Center.
