Large Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors add that special element which bridges the gap between any structure’s interior and the exterior vistas that may be surrounding the area. This has a huge impact on real estate with a view, maintaining a connection between the safety and security of being indoors with the beauty which exists on the other side of the glass.

Large sliding glass doors, sliding doors of immense size, or floor to ceiling doors with glass are not only impressive, but they increase the energetic connection between indoors and outdoors exponentially. In essence, the bigger the sliding glass doors, the greater the impact on those who behold them.

Sing Core’s pride in the whole “bigger is better” concept and their unique ability to create an enormous door with many features unattainable any other way, translates into empowering contemporary architecture, modern designers, and door engineers to create fabulous displays without having to block out any user experience.

You will find sing Core’s large sliding glass doors in not only the most luxurious homes in the world, but amidst ornate hospitality, commercial, and industrial applications, where not only size matters, but high precision, superior functionality, and longevity over time, without costly maintenance.

It is now more common for Sing Core to participate in a big door moving glass wall project for a Fortune 500 company, multi-panel opening glass door systems for aerospace industry, or sliding glass patio doors for the best upcoming tour of homes in your expanding upscale neighborhoods.

Design Large Sliding Glass Doors

The design capabilities of Sing Core working in concert with architects results in far superior moving glass wall systems than could every be accomplished otherwise, and you know, size is not a hinderance, due to inventor Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending large sliding glass door technologies.

The glass framing options of Sing’s patented sliding door core empowers architects and designers to let their creative juices flow. You are no longer limited to where and how you can add glass inserts. If you can draw it, Sing’s true flat team can create the specialty lite cutouts you envision, without compromising strength or structure, as you say, “goodbye,” to old school rectangular glass inserts.

Some of the attributes you can enjoy about Sing’s revolutionary new tech include being able to build larger sliding glass doors which weigh far less than other sliding glass doors comparatively. These sliding glass doors which are lighter weight reduce the cost of articulating hardware, which is based on the weight of the door. The lighter in weight the door, the less expensive the hardware will be, also, the less energy necessary to operate sliding-glass door mechanism. The weight saving also contributes to greatly reduced maintenance due to less stress and strain on the structure and sliding door hardware during operation.

French Doors

French doors with Sing Core inside are by far the most popular sliding doors which Sing’s company help to make and take to the next level in sliding glass door design. While the most popular surrounding exterior door skins featured on Sing’s French doors are natural wood grains, followed by sliding metal glass doors, but your French door could feature almost any flat building material, as they have been made with aluminum, brass, copper, cold rolled steel, diamond plate steel, fiberglass, FRP, galvanized steel, HPL, hot rolled steel, Kevlar, Masonite, MDF, stainless steel, etc… you get the idea.

Sliding Patio Doors

Sing’s sliding patio doors are huge in that their ability to outperform any other type of exterior door is unquestioned. Sing’s patented exterior door core is fully insulated and is extremely strong. At 660+ PSI, this door core material is stronger than steel pound for pound.

The largest door manufacturers in the world use Sing’s core in their large oversized exterior door projects, as it’s the only way known to build a large patio door without it moving in response to the elements which surround the door.

It is well known that big doors move according to changes in temperature, barometric pressure, sunlight, and any variety of environmental conditions, that is, unless it has Sing’s patented and patent-pending technologies inside.

“This is the only way we know of to build a large door and keep it straight.”

Add a large glass lite cut out and you have yourself a hybrid French patio door, enjoying the best of both worlds.

50 Year Warp-free Guarantee

Unheard of elsewhere in the industry is inventor Peter Sing’s 50-year warranty which accompanies every door made to specs with sing Core inside. Each big sliding glass door is guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years for the application the custom-sized sliding doors were designed for.

Thanks to Sing’s core, sliding glass doors can be made without limitation to size whatsoever, and the design possibilities are endless.

So, if you’re considering the addition of large multi-slide door, exterior sliding glass doors, or any type of extreme sliding & folding glass doors, you might want to consider taking your project to the next level by specifying that you want, “Sing Core inside,” all your upscale large scenic sliding door systems.

Exterior Door Skins

Looking for exterior doors? Some are known to be better than others. You might know what you want, but is that the right exterior door skins to use on a door which may present challenges not long after installation?

The exterior surface material of your door (referred to as “door skin”) is a huge decision to make. While you might absolutely be able to see a particular type of door in your mind’s eye, you may find the door you’ve set your sights on will offer you far more problems than aesthetic beauty. Definitely worth considering before you settle on your decision to select certain exterior door skins over others.

For instance, some flat building materials that you might like to use as exterior door skins may be sensitive to changes in the environment and may have a problem facing the elements or extreme weather conditions. The good news is, new external finishing products are emerging regularly to help protect underlying surface materials from moisture penetration. Galvanized metal skin would be good exterior skin for applications near saltwater, and it can be painted! FRP provides protection from moisture as well. Wood stave skin provides much more protection than veneer skins.

These new technologies can be helpful in protecting metals that might rust or natural woods which might soak up rain, like a sponge.

 

The world’s best millworks are fully up to speed on all these latest technologies which help to protect your exterior door objet d’art from the elements. This helps solve one-half of the dilemmas which face door engineers and technicians. Then, there is the other half: Door warp.

Pretty much, all doors warp to some degree, so the American Woodworking Institute has established a standard for doors, which basically says that any door which does not deflect over one-quarter inch over a seven-foot-span is straight. Any deflection over a quarter of an inch would be considered as “door warp.”

All doors, door jambs, and door hardware take this ¼” variance of “straightness” into account in the design of all the adjoining components.

That’s where inventor Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending Sing Core comes in.

With the advent of Sing Core’s warp-free door blanks, the top door manufacturers in the world can create oversized exterior doors of any size which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years. This is an unparalleled 50-year warp-free guarantee which was unheard of in the door industry previously.

There is little doubt that natural wood grain poses the greatest challenge for door warping in exterior door application. As beautiful as wood grain is, it is notorious for moving according to environmental changes. No matter how well you protect it from the weather by sealing the door completely (which is an important part of the process) wooden doors will warp, unless they have Sing Core inside.

Sing’s groundbreaking technology empowers architects to spec the most contemporary architectural doors made of ornate wood grains in any size, even large oversized doors, that can be guaranteed not to warp for 50 years, and Peter Sing puts his signature on the line.

Most of the most contemporary architects are willing to spec a sixteen- to twenty-foot-tall door with Sing Core inside without hesitation, though other industrial aerospace and military projects could feature large sliding doors reaching 70 ft. tall and over 200 ft. wide.

No matter what size your large sliding door is, if its 100 percent exposed to the weather, you don’t want it to warp, and there’s only one way to create such a warp-free door, and that’s with Sing Core inside.

Now, you can have natural wood grain skins on your exterior doors without fear of failure for the most sustainable exterior doors ever made in the USA and guaranteed for 50 years.

Wood Grain Exterior Door Skins

Not limited to wood grain doors (which are the most challenging), you may also use any other available flat building material and receive the same high precision and 50-year guarantee.

Office Privacy Increases Productivity

It has now been discussed over the last several years: do distractions hurt employee productivity in an open office environment? The answer is a definitive, YES! Studies now show that the majority of high-performance employees say they need more quiet work spaces for uninterrupted concentration and problem solving. 

 

[table id=3 /]

 

High-performance employees are now saying that the open office environment is too distracting. Currently, 70% of all US offices use the “open floor” plan and shared areas take priority over personal offices. More and more employees are demanding more options for privacy at the workplace. 

Making simple phone calls can feel like an intrusion to your coworkers. In an open workspace, everyone is working on display all the time. In turn, making a simple phone call can feel like an intrusion to your coworkers, and women in particular feel as if they’re being constantly judged. Even productivity can take a hit. And now employers want that productivity back–within the same open office footprint.

 

[table id=4 /]

 

When offices offer employees the ability to find privacy, they feel safer and more protected and that makes the work experience much better. Offices have been built without considering whether or not eavesdropping is a welcome part of office culture. Phone booths and micro offices provide offices with the ability to accommodate for privacy. Most office implementations are just downright lazy. Offices spend untold thousands of dollars on free coffee and meals, gym memberships, creative perks of all kinds, yet our modern office spaces end up so similar, with so little functional creativity. Thoughtfully walled space, visual partitions, alcoves, private work rooms, and vastly more sound suppression will provide employees with the best work experience possible. Employees need calm spaces with ethical processes which are made possible with our Soundproof phone booths and micro offices.

Immediate Need for Office Phone Booths

Recently, WeWork, a multi-national shared office space company, has reported that it has to replace 2,300 phone booths out of service due to high levels of formaldehyde found in the material used for the phone booths. This is an opportunity for SingCore and our partners to team up and provide phone booths and other office spacing products to customers.

As you may know, SingCore has a patented core technology that can provide optimal sound proofing that is perfect for providing privacy in open office floor plans.

Privacy Cubicle

The Sing Privacy Cubicle is an entirely new approach to contemporary office space. While office cubicles have been an effective way to manage spacious real estate while accommodating many office workers, office work productivity has declined over time while the issue of cubicle privacy has escalated among office workers.

Due to the modular design of Sing Privacy Cubicles, your office cubicle can take on any design characteristics from a traditional half-height wall, to full length, with an enclosed top and your choice of an open door way, half-height (Dutch) door, or full-length French door with large window cut out lite opening.

The culture of the government workplace which has forced individual workers to subject themselves to a beehive-like honeycomb work structure is changing, and it is doing so to improve worker productivity and to increase employee retention.

While the cubicles of yesteryear cubicles offer limited privacy, it can be difficult to make personal calls from a cubicle without being overheard by other coworkers. That led to the Sing Privacy Phone Booth, which provided a great deal of private communication, as one could be placed just about anywhere among an open office area.

 

Even so, workers within these cellular-type work environments were still subject to having every sound made within a worker’s cubicle space observed by their neighboring cell mate, possibly heard many cells away. And certainly, if customer service was a concern, to those whose attention your office appealed to, they would feel as though they were talking to someone in a boiler room cell center. Not a good experience.

Granted, the fabric-covered walls of traditional cubicles do reduce reverberation and also help to contain the sound, it is not as effective as using a sound-dampening wall, which reduces sound transmission from the inside out. This is the same technology used in Sing Sound Booths which are used in offices, broadcasting, science labs, and recording studios.

Available in custom sizes, Sing Core offers interconnecting Sing Privacy Cubicle panels in the following standard sizes:

Privacy Cubicle Panels

35.5” x 21” x 2”
46” x 21” x 2”
35.5” x 44” x 2”
46” x 44” x 2”
90” x 46” x 2”
90” x 35.5” x 2”

Privacy Panel Connectors

90 x 2 x 2
46 x 2 x 2
44 x 2 x 2
35.5 x 2 x 2
21 x 2 x 2

In our ever-changing world we are faced with a growing sense of loss of privacy and individuality, the Sing Privacy Cubicle can help restore a sense of independence, creating a more valuable work environment and increasing office efficiency and positive workflow, which would otherwise be lost due to lack of privacy.

It’s about time that office sounds were reduced by sound isolation and absorption which patented sing Core has been known for throughout the years.
Corporate office space can be further maximized with custom enhancements, including additional privacy screens, doors and windows of any architectural configuration, all with the sound deadening characteristics of Sing Core built in.

Sing Privacy Cubicles are modular and connect quickly and easily. They go from flat-packed condition to fully functional workstations in minutes, and the lightweight and high strength design makes these cubicles easy to move without having to disassemble them, although they can easily be disassembled and stored when not in use.

Other advantages of being so lightweight include less work-related injuries in during setup and teardown and transportation costs between locations and or storage facilities.

Lightweight Wood

The strongest, lightest weight wood-based building material in the world is lightweight wood with Sing Core inside. Now, that’s a bold statement, but one that proves to be true time and time again across the board in all industries.

Inventor Peter Sing using combinations of his patented and patent pending lightweight wood manufacturing technologies can create lightweight wood structural building materials which are hybrid and composite materials which expand the realm among contemporary architectural projects in America and around the world.

Available in any format, such as panel, post, and beam, Sing lightweight wood products are lighter than other wood-based building materials (one-third the weight or less, depending on the specifications) and stronger than steel (University independently tested at 660+ PSI) without compromising the highest precision (+/- .006 in.) tolerances.

This is why Sing’s lightweight wood is used to build large high-tech modern doors from military installations as well as featured installations in the most expensive homes of billionaires worldwide.

Sing’s special brand of large lightweight wood doors are impacting the doors industry in a huge way especially in the area of the oversized door market. Big doors make a massive impact on people as they encounter such large doors, such as an enormous pivot front door, which seems to leave the most lasting impression.

While contemporary architecture is more commonly moving toward bold designs, the limitations of available building material can be problematic when designers, engineers, and contractors are tasked with bringing such visionary projects to life.

For instance, as every major door manufacturer in the world knows, if a wood door is over 7 feet tall and three-and-a-half feet wide, you are looking for trouble, because not long after installation (while the grand opening may unfurl flawlessly) those bid doors are going to warp.

That’s where Sing’s core comes into play to literally save the day.

Solution to the Large Warped Door Problem

The biggest and best door companies in the world rely on Sing’s lightweight wood doors to deal with the complications presented in all large doors of any size or style, whether it’s a tall, skinny door at NASA, or a huge 40 ft. tall sliding door in a military installation, Sing’s patented lightweight wood technologies can create the largest doors which can be

GUARANTEED for 50 YEARS

Not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail.

If it’s the first time you’ve heard of it, it sounds too incredible to be true, but large lightweight wood doors with Sing’s core inside are actually guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years. Until now, such a guarantee was unheard of in the door industry.

The Secret of Building Warp-free Lightweight Wood Doors

The secret of building warp-free lightweight wood doors is found inside Sing’s patented reinforced torsion box core material, which is similar (and inspired by) the various honeycomb cores used in the aerospace industry where he became aware of the limitations of traditional honeycomb core materials.

His unique composite hybrid warp-free solution is the key to making what has been referred to by the most high-profile door manufacturers in the world as the key ingredient in the world’s best doors.

How to Build Sing Core

First off, you start with a torsion box grid structure, only instead of orienting the grain of the wood torsion box horizontally, as you normally would, you turn it, so the grain is vertical instead. Vertical grain torsion box grids are many times stronger than horizonal grain. This single improvement was the beginning of the answer to building a better honeycomb substructure material.

But Sing didn’t stop there because the inside of each box was empty, so he decided to add rigid foam to fill the empty voids. Sandwich this hybrid torsion box core between to flat sheet goods, and there you have it: Sing Core. And Mr. Sing has complete control of the size of the reinforced torsion box grid, so to increase the strength, he can make the grid size smaller, as little as 2-inch by 2-inch squares for super strength Sing Core, the lightest and strongest substrate in the world.

But, that’s not all.

Wood Species and Warp Tendencies

Every wood species has its own unique tendencies to warp, so Sing devised an entirely new system of enhancing his Sing Core substrate with strategically placed anti-warp materials which counteracts the natural inclination of each wood species to move.

In this way, each custom door that Sing’s company helps to design and build to deliver warp-free high-performance over a 50-year service life (even though, as inventor/president says, “Each door is built to last centuries, but I guarantee it for 50 years.”) is an individual work of art.

Not Limited to Large Lightweight Wood Doors

The very same patented sing technologies that goes into each of their lightweight wood doors can be applied to doors made of nearly any available flat building material. A few examples would include

 

Aluminum Doors Brass Doors
Cement Doors Concrete Doors
Cold Rolled Steel Doors Diamond Plate Steel Doors
Fiberglass Doors FRP Doors
Galvanized Steel Doors Hot Rolled Steel Doors
HPL Doors Kevlar Doors
Lead Doors Lexan Doors
Magnetic Doors Masonite Doors
Metal Doors Rare Species Wood Doors
Stainless Steel Doors Steel Doors

Any of the doors listed above could be made lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound with Sing Core inside.

 

Not Limited to Doors

While the veracity of this invention has been proven and withstood the test of time in the large oversized door marketplace, Sing’s lightweight high strength core technology translates to any project where size, weight, and strength might present problems in any design.

You might be surprised to find that entire homes have been built entirely of Sing Core products.

Aerospace Panels Broadcast Stations
Clean Rooms Cold Storage Rooms
Equipment Enclosures Furniture
Hurricane Panels* Impact Resistant Walls
Insulated Flooring Systems Kitchen Islands
Large Conference Room Tables Marine Bulkheads
Mezzanine Floors Museum Displays
Recording Studios Signboards
Solar Panels Sound Isolation Booths
Submarine Panels Temporary Portable Garages
Theater Walls Trade Show Booths
X-ray Systems

In other words, the possible applications for Sing Core are almost limitless. So if you’re having issues and challenges associated with weight and dimensional stability, there’s a good chance that Sing Core may be the answer you’re looking for.

Standard DIY Sing panels come in stock as MDF, but can be custom-ordered in almost any conceivable flat building material.

Of course, Sing Core can be found in the most high-end high-tech environments including Fortune 500 companies, government and military facilities, science labs and institutions, aerospace and nautical industries, just to name a few.

You can get a flat-packed sound isolation booth, privacy room, or modular conference room with Sing Core inside that snaps together in minutes. Modular Sing sound isolation panels are so lightweight a strong that anyone can assemble a sturdy soundproof structure in no time.

Sing isolation structures are used in radio and broadcasting, by music academies and institutions, sound and AV schools, sound testing facilities, laboratories, space tech, and in various telecommunications industries.

Whether you’re a private recording studio, television network, educational institution, medical establishment, secure government facility, or an eccentric individual who highly values peace and silence in a secure and supremely quiet Zenlike atmosphere, a sound-deadening Sing privacy booth will provide you with the perfect sound proof space.

Though there are standard sizes of Sing isolation enclosures, the majority of them are custom designed and built based on the architectural specifications as set forth by the client, engineers, architects, or designers.

Your Sing sound booth can knock out ambient sound and acoustic noise for superior sound isolation, whether your requirements are for safety, security, or pristine sound production characteristics.

Portable Sound Isolation Booth

If you need a soundproof acoustic booth on-the-go, then the Sing collapsible flat-packed sound booth is for you, and you don’t have to be Bob Eubanks (The Newlywed Game) or Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen) to use one. As a disassembled sound isolation structure can easily fit in the backseat of your car as you take it from location to location.

Our most popular applications for portable sound isolation booths include being used as a podcast booth, vocal booth, recording booth, music studio, drum booth, or phone booth, which can easily be assembled and disassembled on site in minutes.

For the organization focused on efficiency, there are specialized peace and quiet sound-secure environments which are specifically designed with you in mind, depending on your capacity needs. For instance,

Phone Booths

Phone booths are the most common rendition of the Sing sound isolation booth, which is designed for one-person occupancy to provide privacy while significantly reducing ambient office noise. Phone booths come in a variety of sizes and styles.

Workspace Booths

As the name might suggest, workspace booths may vary in size but generally have the capacity to accommodate one to three persons at a time, for special projects, brief meetings, or on demand teleconferencing.

Conference Rooms

To think that you now can have a sound-deadening modular, portable, reconfigurable conference room anywhere any time which can be flat-packed and stored when not in use, is of immense value in corporate America today.

In-Plant Offices

Factory in-plant offices are the largest scale use of sound deadening Sing panels which can easily be set up and torn down at will. Easily stored between uses, your sing in-plant offices are built to last for years and can easily grow with your organization. Thanks to the modular design, you can reconfigure or expand your in-plant office at will.

Say, “Goodbye,” to nasty reverberation, echo, and ambient sound interrupting your production or communications with your modular Sing isolation sound booth.

While our standard surface material is MDF for its smooth appearance which can easily be painted, or accept vinyl graphics, your custom Sing sound isolation booth can be any dimensional size and can be manufactured of any available flat building material, such as any species of natural wood grain, aluminum, brass, cold rolled steel, copper, diamond plate steel, fiberglass, FRP, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, Masonite, stainless steel, you name it, you can have it.
