Sing Core and James Abke Turn Mercedes Van into a Portable Home


James Abke is a professional of the highest caliber who is also an avid traveller.  He needed the best accomodations for his extended trips in his Mercedes van. Because of his unique needs he sought out a unique company who could do something which, in most industries, is normally called “mission impossible.”

James chose Sing Core because of our proven track record of providing the most unique products that are designed to perform under the most extreme conditions.  Mr. Abke needed materials to build his special luggage rack and bed in the back of his Mercedes that would allow him to eat, sleep, and work in his van.

“The panels are awesome…I have a feeling they will last a lifetime.”

This job required a material that would be extremely strong, rigid, with virtually no flex, yet light weight.  James Abke knew this was something almost no one could do. That is why he approached Sing Core, Inc.

 

The Force Behind Sing Core

 

Under the supervision of Master Inventor, Sing Core Founder, Peter Sing, we got right to the task, designing this system for maximum performance and lighter weight.  Using our patented and patent pending Professional Sing Panels. Sing Core is the best product on the market for these types of applications, because our core is stronger, tested independently in UW labs to be able to withstand 660 PSI of force, up to 90% lighter in weight than solid wood, more versatile, and more visually appealing than any other product on the market.

Mecedes-Van-Luggage-and-Bed-Design

Because Mr. Abke required only a 1” thickness on his panels, he could not use just any material.   He needed the strongest, lightest weight material he could possibly get ahold of. These panels had to be stronger than steel to endure the punishment he had planned for his Mercedes van conversion.  This configuration required that the system be able to hold up several hundred pounds of weight without showing any signs of stress. These panels also offer much more insulation and sound blocking capabilities than solid wood or hollow core panels, thanks to Sing Core patented and patent pending technologies.

See how small these panels fold up!  They are barely noticeable once folded for storage, and they are completely out of the way, thanks to James Abke’s implementation.  This design allowed him to fold down the panels so he could use them as storage or else move them to the side and use the full space in the back of the van for cargo.  No one else can do this.

 

Multi Purpose Design

James Abke was driving across the country in his van when he got the idea to do the unthinkable.  Because of his unique need for a system that would allow him to work, sleep, as well as, store luggage in his van he designed a system that would be able to accommodate all three.

Mecedes-Van-Luggage-and-Bed

 

“I worked with several Singcore agents to find a solution and came up with a panel that I was able to coat with a truck bed liner (Rhino-Liner) in order to make the panels nonskid and very durable.”

-James Abke

 

The icing on the cake was that Mr. Abke’s design was able even able to accommodate a bed.  Because of the ultra high strength, lightweight, warp free quality of Sing Core, James Abke was enabled to design a system that could easily accommodate two people, 500 pounds with no difficulty at all, without any compromise at all to the integrity the structure.  Having a bed in his van allowed him to sleep on location, anywhere.

Mecedes Van Luggage and Bed Light Weight Strong 1 inch accessories (16)

This was the perfect application for our products.

“It was imperative to me to have light weight panels strong enough to hold two people (for camping mode) or heavy equipment (in work mode) and be thin enough to be able to be stored inside a rather compact cargo van when they were not in use.”

-James Abke

 

James Abke’s design was simply one of the ways we can do this.  The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. We can even make drawers or other additions that can give you better storage options than you ever imagined.  For this sort of application that requires such precision, high strength, light weight, and warp free character. Sing Core is the only solution for this type of situation.

We do not make SIP panels.  SIP panels will bend, break, twist, and crack.  They are made very cheaply with Chinese materials.  Our panels are made from the absolute best materials.  They are made 100% in USA, using materials sourced from the USA.

James Abke’s new system can hold huge amounts of luggage.  Sing Core technology allowed him to have more than one layer of storage in the back of his van.  With our technology, we can manufacture panels that are stronger, more durable, lighter in weight, more warp resistant, available in more skins, with more bells and whistles.  Moreover, they come in any size, larger than any other panels on the market, they are more visually appealing, and come with many more features. Not to mention, they are the only panels on the market that come with a full 50 Year Warp Free Guarantee.  They are 100% made in America, using materials sourced from the united states.

Miller Blaker 16 Foot Tall Pivot Door

Miller Blaker came to us with one of the most challenging jobs in the entire world.  They needed doors high quality enough to install on the top floor of the most prestigious building in the world.  They came to Sing Core, because they knew our proven track records of building doors that are not only best in their class in terms of structural stability and strength, but also light weight enough to hang on Miller Blaker’s hardware of choice.  

No one else can achieve the dimensional stability Sing Core can.

These doors had to be perfectly straight, dimensionally stable, and incredibly strong for use in such a challenging scenario.  Miller Blaker required doors that were 16 feet tall, 3 feet wide, yet only 2.25 inches thick.  Often these kinds of dimensions are what industry professionals call “mission impossible.”  Here’s at Sing Core, we make the impossible possible.

Moreover, we built these doors with a solid oak edge that makes the entire door appear like solid wood with no seam.  Only Sing Core can do this!

The best doors made with the best materials.

Giant Sliding Factory Door

Sing Core High End Giant Factory Sliding Doors Increase Productivity

Sing Core Large Factory Sliding doors can be used for all kinds of industrial purposes.  They are ideal for warehouses, hangars, factories, plants, manufacturing facilities, and other industrial and commercial scenarios.  Using our patented and patent pending technology, we manufacture doors that are easier and less expensive to install, lighter in weight, so they allow you to use less expensive hardware than doors made by the competition.

 

Huge 20′ x 12′ x 3.5″ inch Large Factory Sliding Door for Industrial Use.

 

At this factory, the workers were struggling daily with their large factory door that was warping and twisting, due to environmental factors.  Their door was excessively weighty and the door was extremely difficult to open and close. Door functionality was severely impaired, because of warping and twisting.  It was also peeling and falling apart, due to poor construction. The managers knew they needed to fix the problem, but not just any door would do. This is why they called upon Sing Core to solve their problems.

Sing Core tackled the problem immediately with their patented solutions.  First of all, because of the size of the door, they knew they would need to solve the weight problem.

Giant Factory Door Extremely Light Weight

With our patented and patent pending methods, solved the weight problems.  This huge panel measures 12’ x 5’ x 3” thick, yet it only weighs 121 pounds so it can be easily lifted by two men, as you can see in the photo.  This demonstrates there are no other panels on the market as light and large as Sing Core panels.

The Strongest of the Strong

Tested independently, in UW labs, as able to withstand force upwards of 660 PSI, Sing Core, hands down, manufactures the strongest material in its weight class.  Large doors need higher strength to stave off potential warpage. That’s how we provide doors that are stronger, lighter, and more warp free, according to AWI standards.

Factory Slider Strong Strength Test

Our panels can support the weight of a grown man with next to zero flex.

Sing Core doors also come with nearly any skin.  Our most popular skins are Alder, Mahogany, Western Red Cedar, Fir, Pine, Hemlock, Balsa, Birch.  Even better, we can apply hot rolled or cold rolled steel, aluminum, copper, bronze. Your doors are only limited by your imagination.

If you need the highest strength, lightest weight, most warp free large sliding doors and large pocket doors, available in more skin options than any other door, you need Sing Core doors.

Factory Hangar Large Sliding Door 5 x 12 x 3.5 inch

Huge 20′ x 12′ x 3.5″ inch Large Factory Sliding Door for Hangars and Warehouses.

This revolutionary new door has so many skins available that you will find it suits every possible purpose.  You can use this door as a large factory door, a huge sliding hangar door, massive barn doors, very big manufacturing plant doors, colossal barn doors, and other magnificent bay doors that will leave your guests and customers in awe. 

The Sing Core Advantage

Another advantage to Sing Core is that you can apply any kind of skin or finishing.  This photo shows high quality siding applied to the huge factory door.  The siding is very easy to apply and is great in exterior weather conditions.  Whether rain, snow, or hot sun, your door will be protected against the elements every single time.

Applying siding to your door will offer superior weather proofing.

Giant factory doors are a Sing Core specialty, as you can see here from the picture, which shows how large and well built our doors are.

Massive 20′ x 12′ x 3.5″ sliding factory door with siding.

This photo shows the true scale of the door.  When you see a full grown man standing in front of it, the massive nature of the door is apparent.

Sing Core Triple Panel Sliding Door

There are many ways to build a door.  One of the most effective ways is to build multiple doors that open together in one space.  There are advantages to covering your door opening with more than one panel.  This allows each panel to be lighter and it offers more versatility with your hardware.  Hardware does not have to be as strong, because the the weight of the full door does not rest all on one track.  Also, it is much easier to install a door in sections, because very large doors tend to be heavier and much more difficult to install.

Singcore patented and patent pending technology allows us to make doors that are so large, yet so light they can be opened with just one fingure.  Over the years, we have done so much research and development in the areas of strength and light weight attributes that we have been able to make panels that are much stronger, pound for pound, than competing products.  When you need large industrial doors that hold up under the most rigorous conditions, Sing Core has your door.

Sliding Door

Nestled into the woods of the Pacific Northwest, patented Sing Core is making an impact in the sliding door industry, growing and expanding day by day. In the sliding door industry which is dominated by the top 10 door companies in the world, the biggest door companies, like Anderson Windows & Doors, Jeld-Wen, Pella, as well as the most prestigious millworks, all come to Sing Core when they face a challenging sliding door problem.

The large oversized sliding door seems to present the largest number of problems associated with the sliding door.

First of all, there is the size of the sliding door which can be a challenge for anyone to transport and handle, then there is the weight which will require heavy equipment and experienced professionals to operate the equipment for maneuvering the sliding doors as well as installation.

Beyond the size, the weight of the sliding door is vastly important because a heavier door will require heavy duty hardware to operate the door effectively. Also, a sliding door which is heavy in weight will add stress and strain both on the hardware and the structure causing costly repairs later along the service life of the sliding door.

Sing Core Large Sliding Door

Exterior sliding doors may be the most problematic due to their tendency to fail and become inoperable. These doors generally will fail for warping, bending, twisting, cupping, or any other variety of maladies including delaminating.

What do you do when you sliding door fails?

You might do what more and more Americans are doing every day; purchasing a replacement door from any of the top door makers, millworks, or custom sliding door manufacturers and tell them you want a replacement sliding door that has, “Sing Core inside.”

 

Why do you want a sliding door with Sing Core inside?

You want a sliding door with Sing Core inside because you want a sustainable door that will not fail over time, thanks to SingCore’s patented and patent-pending sliding door inventions.

Doors with Sing Core inside are 1) Eco-friendly, 2) Lightweight, 3) High strength, 4) Fully insulated, 5) Warp-free, 6) 50-year guarantee.

1. Eco-friendly Sliding Door

In this day and age, it’s not enough to have the best sliding door, you want an Eco-friendly sliding door which is made in the most ecologically sound and respectful manner maximizing the best of natural resources and recycled materials for a fully sustainable sliding door product.

Plus, you’re saving resources, finances over time, and reducing your sliding door’s carbon footprint by being,

2. Lightweight Sliding Door

No more need to settle for heavy sliding doors which are more expensive to ship, handle, and maintain over time. Your lightweight sliding door weighs in at one-third (or less) the weight of your normal door which means less expense (and risk) for maneuvering and installing your sliding door as well as less wear and tear on both the hardware and the structure which hosts your lightweight sliding door.

3. High Strength Sliding Door

Now you can have the strongest Eco-friendly, lightweight door in the world, bar none. SingCore’s reinforced torsion box technology allows sliding door makers to create sliding doors, even if incredibly oversized and very large, like aircraft hangar doors, which are massively strong, UW tested at more than 660 PSI, which is stronger than steel pound-for-pound.

4. Fully Insulated Sliding Door

And if that weren’t enough reason to desire Sing Core inside your sliding door, imagine having all this and a fully insulated door for extra sound deadening and climate control characteristics?

When you want to keep warm inside when it’s cold outside or visa versa, a sliding door with Sing Core inside will keep you warmer or cooler when experiencing the most severe weather conditions.

5. Warp-free Sliding Door

One problem with sliding doors is that they are prone to warp over time. This problem is exasperated if you have a bypass sliding door or a sliding pocket door do to being articulated alongside other sliding door materials. The less the clearance the bigger the problems associated with potential sliding door warp.

Only doors with Sing Core inside can be made to remain warp-free over time, protecting you and yours with an unprecedented 50-year warp-free guarantee.

6. 50 Year Sliding Door Guarantee

Your sliding door is only good as the guarantee which backs you and your door company.

If you have a sliding door with Sing Core inside, you have a door which can be guaranteed not to warp- bend, twist, or otherwise fail, including a full structure warranty for 50 years.

Pivot Door

The new American pivot door is causing a stir across the USA among designers and architects opening an entirely new range of possibilities for the modern pivot door in contrast to pivot doors designed by and enjoyed by our forefathers.

The new pivot door making its way into the mainstream of contemporary architecture design is decidedly different from its predecessors in that this new generation of pivot door is Eco-friendly, lightweight, high strength, fully insulated, and can be guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years, regardless of size, resulting in the most sustainable pivot door in the industry.

This empowers modern designers and contemporary architects to design a pivot door of enormous proportion, up to 50 feet, which would otherwise be highly problematic in terms of design, construction, shipping, transport, maneuvering on site, installation, with increased highly-skilled labor and heavy equipment costs.

Let’s examine the characteristics of this pivot door one by one:

Pivot Door: Lightweight

Pivot doors can be made lightweight by sacrificing the core of the pivot door altogether. In the past pivot door manufacturers would compromise the inside of the pivot door by leaving it hollow or by using a lightweight core alternative, such as paper core, carboard core, or some other type of honeycomb core. Such a lightweight pivot door is prone to fail.

The latest innovation in pivot door technology incorporates a solid composite core which is based on a reinforced vertical grain torsion box core which is high precision (+/- .006 in.) and weighs a fraction of the weight of other solid pivot door core options.

Pivot Door: High Strength

Strength in the architecture of a pivot door is of primary interest because it determines the usability and functionality of a pivot door’s performance over time. If a pivot door is not strong (which pivot door engineers usually equate a lightweight pivot door with weakness), it will be prone to failure due to warp, and may bend, cup, twist or otherwise fail over time.

Patented Sing Core imbues a large pivot door with enormous strength (over 660 PSI) which is stronger than steel pound-for-pound. Only by using inventor Peter Sing’s patented vertical grain reinforced torsion box core is such a feat possible at such light weights.

Pivot Door: Fully Insulated

Insulation is of a concern amongst custom pivot door creators in terms of separation, security, and preservation of the space on either side of the door. Since the most effective use of a pivot door is as a main entrance door (especially if it is a large pivot door), insulation is a desirable component for keeping the interior space heated or cooled, and sound-deadening pivot doors can be very heavy indeed.

If your pivot door has Sing Core inside, you have a fully insulated solid composite core which provides both sound-deadening and climate control capabilities. This is why increasingly you find Sing Core specified in both refrigeration and sound proof pivot door specifications.

Pivot Door: Warp-free

Among the problems associated with large, oversized pivot doors, is pivot door warp. In most high-end pivot door applications warp is a problem due to the mass of the material. Most problematic are the challenges when building a pivot door of wood. A wooden pivot door will be compromised and fail when the grain on one side of the door is exposed to differing environmental conditions on the other side of the door.

Inventor Peter Sing can help to design the perfect pivot door substrate using his patented and patent-pending door technologies to create an anti-warping composite core that can counteract the tendency for wooden pivot doors to warp, thus resulting in the only door in the world which can possess a

Pivot Door: 50-year Warp-free Guarantee

Guarantee not to warp, ben, twist, or otherwise fail – including a full structure warranty – for 50 years.

No other pivot door company can do it, unless the door has Sing Core inside.

Sing’s patented pivot door core material is only available to the most highly reputable pivot door companies, millworks, and custom pivot door manufacturers around the world.

Metal Sliding Door

The new revolution of metal sliding door starts with the latest, most significant improvement in metal sliding door design which enables millworks and door companies to build the largest metal sliding doors in the industry which can be lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.

Inventor, Peter Sing, empowers architects, engineers, and leading-edge designers with his patented and patent-pending technologies enabling them to create doors of enormous size of nearly any metal that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.

Materials used in these new, revolutionary metal sliding doors vary among the wide variety of metals such as aluminum, steel, silver, pewter, wrought iron, chrome, bronze, brass, brushed metal, black iron, nickel, and copper doors, just to name a few.

As you may have guessed, metal sliding doors with Sing Core inside are probably not for the average home with metal sliding doors of normal size. You’re much more likely to see these doors appearing in more high-end applications in commercial, industrial, and multi-million-dollar estates.

Sing’s patented invention imbues doors with incredible attributes which enables the best custom door manufacturers to build oversized metal sliding doors that can be fully insulated, lightweight, and very strong. Sing Core is used in large sound proof metal sliding doors, as well as being specified in climate control, fire-rated, and other highly-rated doors.

That said, nearly any metal sliding door can be lighter in weight yet have its other functions magnified many times without compromising the other characteristics or the performance of the metal sliding door.

The high precision door core (+/- .006) empowers custom door manufacturers to make a metal sliding door that is extremely accurate with the highest tolerances attainable with the ability to be guaranteed not to structurally fail and remain warp-free for 50 years.

Now, any big metal door can possess these same characteristics, whether it be distressed, such as distressed bronze metal sliding doors, distressed nickel, even architectural replacement doors and any historically restored big metal door.

Giant metal doors needn’t be big and heavy, like their predecessors, as they can utilize Sing’s complex array of composite materials which span from his basic, patented structurally reinforced torsion box core design to anti-warp technologies which enable to make large warp-free metal sliding doors reach new heights in precision, sustainability, and performance.

Made in the USA, these architectural metal doors outperform other architectural doors in side-by-side analysis, yet inventor Peter Sing says, “We don’t sell doors.” And, indeed, they do not.

Many individuals have sought out Sing Core directly for their door solutions, but Sing Core does not sell any completely finished doors. Sing Core onlyu supplies their warp-free materials to qualified millworks and custom door manufacturers who use their specific skill sets to create some of the world’s best doors out of Sing’s metal sliding door materials.

For the few people who have misrepresented themselves as being qualified to enter Sing Core’s supply chain, they have been dissatisfied with receiving an unfinished product, and who wouldn’t be, if they were expecting to receive a completely finished metal sliding door that is ready to hang.

So, if you’re on the hunt for tall metal doors or wide metal doors but you don’t want them to be heavy metal doors, Sing Core is the only known way to accomplish such a feat.

Horizontal Sliding Wall Systems

Horizontal Sliding Walls (HSW) are by far the best way to divide any two adjoining spaces. In a minute you can have one or more well defined spaces and in the next, one-large open expansive space. Well-known among the architectural, engineering, and design industries HSWs can pose problems, especially for the larger horizontal sliding wall systems.

The premiere solution for dealing with any large spanning opening, sliding wall panels are the primary ingredient in effective horizontal and folding sliding wall systems.

In high end HSW Horizontal Sliding Wall Systems and FSW Folding Sliding Wall Systems, the most discerning clientele seeks more than just another way to either block a gaping hole or divide a large space into one or more sensibly usable areas.

This new generation of high-end user wants more than just a visual blockade. They want lightweight, multi-panel systems can span across a vast expanse while delivering added safety and security without having to worry about warping sliders.

Besides containment, they also desire climate control and sound deadening qualities which may not be offered by an off-the-rack horizontal sliding wall system.

Horizontal sliding walls can offer the end user many options and benefits when selecting sliding walls and sliding doors as components in the overall system. A custom horizontal sliding wall is an innovative development in approaching a multi-panel door system that can top hung from the ceiling or frame and/or can slide atop a single channel track which can be recessed into the floor.

Other options include movable wall systems with stacking wall panels in folding sliding systems, and can be architecturally specified in pocket door, sliding wall, and sliding bypass formats, resulting in horizontal sliding wall solutions that make your life easier than before.

Clients want a sliding door or wall system that is both offers convenience and automation in their movable wall systems. Due to the expansive options offered by using a horizontal sliding wall substrate, like Sing Core, sliding wall systems can be horizontal and folding sliding wall systems using this new generation of sliding wall panels.

Basically, a well-designed hand-crafted horizontal sliding wall and sliding door system can feature nearly a limitless number of configurations, and with the aid of Sing Core, your horizontal sliding walls can be of huge and enormous size (up to 50 ft tall or wide) without having to be concerned about difficulty of transport, installation, or failure over time.

High End Pivot Hung Doors

 

21 ft tall 4 ft wide 2-inch thick aluminum pivot hung door

Modern architecture and design include high-end pivot hung doors as an increasing feature in contemporary architecture designs. This growing trend among modern architects and designers has large pivot doors featured as the main entrance to the structure, especially those high-end exotic projects which demand an upscale approach to the design aspects of the project.

Large custom high-end pivot doors are designed and built to specs in order to provide a spectacular one of a kind attention-grabbing access point which will not soon be forgotten.

This large pivot door concept is sweeping the nation creating or filling spectacular openings with unique large pivot doors hosting a wide spectrum of visually impactful building materials spanning from exotic to contemporary natural wood grains to metal pivot doors from aluminum to hot rolled steel.

Trending modern pivot doors are not simply relegated to a center pivot point for affixing hardware. Creative approaches to incorporating pivoting doors into these leading-edge designs could have the pivot door hardware pivoting at nearly any location along the pivot door threshold.

Once restricted to a center pivot point, you may now find the pivot point of these architecturally inspired pivot door designs anywhere from center to innovative extreme edge pivot door hardware for the impressive follow up to the larger than life initial impact.

Even with the growing expansion of the pivot door hardware aren’t to accommodate the most prestigious projects (with a budget to match), there are specific challenges which concern the architects, engineers, and designers of these massive pivot entry doors.

You can expect no two of these high-end pivot hung doors to look the same as each millwork or door company providing these massive pivot slab doors can be working with solid panels as base material or have any type of glass opening imaginable. So they may be completely solid or have glass.

The trend can feature many varying lite cutouts or one large glass opening representing one-third or more of the pivoting door’s surface area, which would qualify it as being a French pivot door.

You will find these pivoting doors with glass not only at the structure’s main entrance but also as egress points between indoors and outdoors, like facing a back yard. Court, or garden area.

Modern pivot doors are larger and heavier than traditional swing doors or sliding doors. By virtue of the sheer size of the pivoting doors, which are often not only taller and wider than other types of doors, they are also usually a lot thicker than their contemporaries. This makes for a very large and heavy piece of material that is more likely than not prone to structural failure or warping (especially if manufactured of wood, which has the highest potential to move due to changes in the environment over time).

Modern wood pivot doors probably provide engineers with the most challenges because a huge piece of wood will move as this is the nature of a natural wood grain as it seeks to adapt to its environment, potentially rendering your pivoting work of art useless and unable to operate or secure properly.
