Metal Doors

When it comes to metal doors, Sing Core is one supportive resource behind the scenes that you may not be aware of, and is the proud creator of some of the best metal doors in the industry.


Although metal doors are traditionally incredibly heavy, Sing Core technology gives architects and door manufacturers the ability to create lightweight doors without compromising strength. This is especially true if you are looking for security doors. Additionally, our doors also have the added benefit of being eco-friendly, made in the USA, insulated, and sound-deadening.

It’s very important that doors be operable, especially pocket doors, bypass sliding doors or double sliding doors. If your metal doors are large in size, or in use as steel security doors, then other challenges must be taken into consideration in the architectural design and specification of your metal doors.

Metal Automatic Sliding Door

When looking for the best metal automatic sliding doors, you want hassle-free installation, low maintenance, and high-quality doors. If your sliding door is missing any of these components, it causes undue stress on the automatic sliding door hardware and the structure that houses the hardware. This can lead to more expensive maintenance issues over time. However, Sing Core doors can avoid these issues by providing lightweight, high-strength, and warp-free door cores that are guaranteed to last for up to 50 years.

Warp-free Metal Doors

Only metal doors with Sing Core inside can be guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years. This means your metal doors can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years, including the full structure warranty of the door. Plus, the lightweight and high strength characteristics of the door, means less maintenance necessary over time, truly a breakthrough in architectural metal door design specs.

Custom Pivot Doors

Even though you find the best custom pivot doors with Sing Core inside in the best million dollar homes in the world doesn’t mean you have to be a billionaire to have such prestigious custom doors in your home.

The Only 50 Year Warp-free Guarantee and full structure warranty

All custom doors considered, custom front doors present the greatest challenge for the manufacturers, especially if they are custom wood doors. Specifying custom wood doors sounds easy; just spec the size of the wooden door, the type of wood you or your client wants to see and the type of door operation, such as a “pivoting;” although, it’s not quite that easy.

For instance, on a 16 ft tall pivot front door made of teak in a high end luxury home many factors come into play. In the first place wooden pivot doors over 7 ft tall are going to warp. This is the primary concern of the pivot door manufacturers, followed by matching the door with the appropriate pivot hinge and other pivot door hardware. Then there is the installation. The size and the weight of the door can cause a great deal of concern in handling, transportation, and installation of the custom pivot door.

Pivot Front Door

A pivot front door leaves a lasting first impression when someone first encounters the structure. To focus on this unique design element opportunity architects and designers are opting for pivot entry door which are large in size and feature an elegant wood grain. The nature of the pivot front door poses challenges because pivot entry doors traditionally face two varying climates, one on the inside of the structure and the other the exterior which may be exposed to the elements and various weather conditions. This is the perfect recipe for a warping pivot door.

Unlike hinge doors, which have hinges along the side of the door to help keep at least one side of the door from warping much, the pivot hinge is anchored only at one point at the top and the other on the bottom of the custom pivot door. That’s it. Unlike hinged doors, you cannot add an additional pivot hinge to help keep the door straight.

Warp-free Pivot Front Door

The advantage of seeking out a proficient custom pivot door manufacturer, is relying on their years of experience in working with specialty custom front doors over their service life. They know what will work, and what will cause problems over the life of a custom pivot door’s service record. They are aware of the challenges faced in dealing with large custom wood doors, and know there is only one way to build wooden pivot doors that will not warp, and that’s with patented Sing Core inside.

50 Year Warp-free Guarantee

Most custom pivot doors are exempt from warranty, or may carry the customary one-year warranty because (and the client is always informed of this before the contract is signed) it is likely that the custom pivot door will warp. Warped pivot doors will create problems for the doors operation, adding pressure to the pivot door hardware and will likely prevent the custom pivot door from securing correctly. While a warp-free custom pivot door will always seal and operate superbly. And unlike any other custom pivot door made today, only custom pivot doors with Sing Core inside are guaranteed not to warp, bend twist, or otherwise fail (including full structure warranty) for 50 years.

Save On Expensive Pivot Door Hardware

Another huge advantage of building your custom pivot door with Sing Core inside is that the resulting large pivot door will weigh in at a fraction of other large custom pivot doors with solid pivot door substrates. The key, here, is the use of a patented vertical grain torsion box/recycled rigid foam insulation composite resulting in the high performance solid core that is high strength (660+ PSI) which is stronger than steel pound-for-pound, yet adds very little weight to the door. Lighter weight custom pivot doors means you save thousands of dollars on pivot door hardware because the hardware is based on the weight of the door.

No more paying many times the price of your custom pivot door on just the pivot door hardware to operate the pivot door safely and securely over time.

That leaves more for your budget to spend on the expensive pivot door hardware that you can see, like the handle on this 16 ft tall teak pivot door which cost many thousands of dollars.

You’re in Good Hands with Sing Core

When you trust the warp-free experts at Sing Core with the inside of your custom pivot doors, you know they will support your core values with their best efforts to deliver only the best custom pivot doors possible to your most discerning clients with high expectations.

How Do I Get Sing Custom Pivot Doors?

Good question. While Sing Core is featured inside the most prestigious, high end doors in the world, Sing Core does not make doors. The fine details of any door with Sing Core inside are handled by the most proficient and competent craftspeople in the millworks and custom door manufacturers who add the finishing details of the making of your custom pivot door.

That’s why Sing Core doors are the best doors because it takes a team of professionals to get the job done and to do it right. We do what we do the best, the base door, and they do what they do the best, the finishing. This results in your assurance that you are only getting the best of the best in custom pivot door technology and craftsmanship.

To get your custom pivot door with Sing Core inside, contact your local custom pivot door manufacturer, pivot door company, or millwork and be sure to tell them you want, “Sing Core inside.”

Swinging Doors the Best Hinged Door

Sing Core has been assisting the best high end custom door manufacturers create the most magnificent swinging doors using the best hinged door known. Only the best, most exclusive upscale architects, designers and ultra-custom door makers know if you want the best hinged door for the highest degree of precision, performance and prestige, you want your door to have Sing Core inside.

The Only 50 Year Warp-free Guarantee and full structure warranty

Hinged Door Warp-free Hinged Door Guarantee

Building a door with Sing Core inside is the only way to create a door that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years, including a full 50 year structure strength warranty. While other doors may be guaranteed for 10 years, most or one or two years, if they are guaranteed at all. Doors over seven or eight feet tall are normally excluded from any warranty due to their tendency to warp the next season.

With Sing Core you can create Eco-friendly swinging hinged doors that are insulated, lightweight, high strength. No need to add extra door hardware to help keep the door straight over time (door manufacturers add extraneous hinges in an effort to keep the door straight). But warp-prone hinged doors, even if they have a full length piano hinge, still warp on the side that latches, and a door that does not operate and cannot be secured is not much of a door at all.

Airtight Hinged Door Seals

Maintaining a perfect airtight seal is of primary importance, plus the added insulation characteristics of any door with Sing Core inside increases climate control while adding sound-deadening qualities not found in other doors, especially in high end laboratories, industrial environments, commercial applications, and homes.

Superior Exterior Hinged Door Applications

Exterior hinged doors often cause problems (especially if they are over 7 ft tall) because one side of the door faces the interior of the structure while the other side of the door faces the elements.

Hinged Panel Doors

Panel doors are assembled of wood (or other material) with separate pieces oriented in cross grain patterns to help mitigate the potential door warping. While this method is somewhat effective, the resulting door does not offer much in the way of high precision, insulation, or performance, but they are pretty. The craftsmanship of a well-made stile and rail door is very elegant and the way the different pieces are joined together offers a certain intrigue when examining the door, especially if it is a wood grain door. But consider the Sing solution…

Sing Raised Panel Door

The Eco-friendly Sing raised panel door is a huge improvement over the traditional stile and rail door, in that it is extremely high-precision (+/- .06 in.) lighter in weight (a fraction of the weight of those solid wood panel doors), insulated for climate control and sound deadening, and stronger than steel pound of pound enabling professional raised panel doors with Sing Core inside to be guaranteed warp-free (will not warp, bend twist, cup or otherwise fail) for 50 years, including full structure warranty. No other door can do all that, and be so versatile.

While a Sing raised panel door can look just like a standard 6 panel door made via the old-fashioned stile-and-rail door manufacturing method, making a raised panel door with Sing Core inside is quite different.

The most important component of the Sing raised panel door is the patented Sing Core material which consists of a hybrid composite of vertical grain torsion box grid filled with rigid recycled foam insulations sandwiched between two stress skins and superiorly bonded with formaldehyde-free adhesive. This gives your door the strength and integrity you’ve always dreamed about. Install the door, and no worries about service calls due to door warp.

The Best Millworks and Custom Door Manufacturers

The best millworks and custom door manufacturers know that the only way to deliver a truly premium product to their high end clientele is to provide them with doors which they make with Sing Core inside, enabling them to guarantee their doors for 50 years, backed by Sing Core’s written guarantee. We take all the hassle and risk out of delivering the best base materials for the best companies and their best customers, bar none.

The Best Flush Doors

Sing Core provides door manufacturers with the best door blanks and flush doors to be used as the best canvases to showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the finest custom door makers in the world.

Again, if you want to make your Sing flush door look like a panel door, like, say a 6 panel door, the door artisan simply adds the 6 panels and trim to the door’s surface. This is a common approach, especially in door replacement of historically preserved architecturally challenging maintenance and upgrades.

Sing doors are often considered the best replacement doors, especially in exterior door replacement due to the weatherproof door’s characteristics.

Your flush doors with Sing Core inside can easily be modified by adding custom molding, trim or cutting custom lite  cutouts for glass installation in any shape at any location to achieve your desired results.

“How can I get doors with Sing Core inside?”

It’s easy. All you have to do is to contact your favorite millwork or custom door manufacturer and tell them what kind of door you want, including the height, width, thickness, style and look you want (you can even bring in a picture of one that you’ve found in a book, magazine, or on the Internet. They will work in concert with Sing Core to make all your door dreams come true.

You can be among the growing many who can proudly proclaim that their doors have, “Sing Core inside.”

From the Best Log Homes to the Best Doors

You might like to know how Sing Core, well-known for the most efficient, Eco-friendly and sustainable log homes in the world became such a big deal in the door industry, especially for large, oversized doors. Starting in the log home market, Sing Core has been used in many applications besides doors, such as floors. raised floors or stage floors, ceilings, walls, room dividers, tiny house, museum, trade show displays,  furniture, fine cabinetry, tables, and desks, etc.

The Only 50 Year Warp-free Guarantee and full structure warranty

Sing Core’s Sing Log Homes are highly regarded as the best log homes in the world due to the patented technology of Sing Core as applied to traditional wood logs resulting in the only insulated logs which would not warp, twist or crack; nothing short of revolutionary in a market that was constantly challenged by Mother Nature throughout the entire build and life of the log home structure.

 

Google search for Sing Log Homes and see for yourself.

It all started with the decline of the log home industry, in combination with the request of several patented Sing Log Home builders insisting that their large doors also be made with insulated Sing Core. At about the same time, people started inquiring about the possibility of using patented Sing Core without the log configuration, and the Sing Panel was born.

The main attention-grabbing draw of the Sing Panel was the best of two worlds; patented vertical grain torsion box/rigid recycled foam composite sandwiched between two stress skins with formaldehyde-free adhesive. Institutions, like NASA and branches of the United States military and research labs across America quickly took notice and started researching Sing Panels for a wide variety of applications.

The resulting Sing Panels were lightweight, extremely strong and had tremendous shear strength and resistance to deflection, something that almost challenged the law of physics in building materials. Sing Panels were independently tested in university laboratories and rated at 660 PSI and up (compare that to the 10-to-110 PSI of other honeycomb materials used in aerospace industry), depending on the configuration.

Now, large doors, extremely large doors (up to 50 ft. or more) could be made using this new patented building material… and no one knew how valuable a resource this would be to the entire door industry.

Before long, more and more people were realizing that doors made with Sing Core inside were out-performing AWI standards for door warp over and over again, setting a new standard for warp resistance.

5o-year Warp-free Guarantee

Based on a combination of independent research, scientific method, field studies, the introduction of a new stiffener technology (patent pending), and experience, Sing Core was able to deliver doors with the highest degree of precision and performance backed by an unheard of 50 year guarantee, which states:

Sing Core guarantees certified professional doors of any size not to warp, bend, twist, cup, or otherwise fail – including full structure warranty – for 50 years.

Of course, in order to be professionally certified, the True Flat Team at Sing Core must be involved with the design of the door and the door will only be guaranteed for the use for which is was built for because different applications require different approaches to assure their 50-year performance.

Widely renowned as the best way to build the best large doors in the world, it is not uncommon for people to think that Sing Core builds doors. This is not true.

Sing Core does not make doors

Sing Core does not make doors, yet the best large doors in the world are made with Sing Core inside.

While Sing Core does not make doors, we do supply the best ready-to-build architectural door materials which are shipped directly from our factory to the millworks, door companies, and custom door manufacturers who add the finishing touches to the Sing door blanks.

The resulting Sing Doors are the culmination of a team effort from the architect, designer, engineer, millwork, fine craftsmen, and Sing Core’s True Flat Team. It is only due to their combined efforts that Sing Core looks and performs so well when it is enjoyed by the end user.

The part patented Sing Core plays in the door industry is similar to jet engine manufacturers in the aerospace industry. Jet engine manufacturers do not build their own aircraft, likewise, Sing Core does not build pivot doors, we only supply the warp-free substrate used by pivot door manufacturers to build lightweight, high-precision doors that do not warp.

Latest in Pivot Door Technology

The latest area of expertise where Sing Core shines through among the door industry is in the area of pivot doors. Pivot doors are unlike regular hinged doors in that they are traditionally larger, thicker and heavier than other types of door. Plus, they only have two points of contact for anchoring, unlike a hinge door. (Hinge doors can help to minimize warp to some degree by adding additional hinges or hardware to help keep the door straight.) Not so, with pivot doors.

We do provide lightweight, high strength and warp-free components to build the best pivot doors. Click to See How this Works

We want to help you expand your high end pivot door business, like this 38.5 million dollar estate.

Our stock items are warp free with structure guaranteed 4×8’, 3” thick pivot door blanks for $499 each ($2500.00 value).

Our latest foray into the world of pivot doors has been wildly successful, which also allows us to have access to the latest in pivot door technology, such as the new FritsJurgens hidden pivot door hardware.

Large Sliding Doors

Our growth in pivot doors is growing to meet the volume of large sliding doors that we provide to an industry where keeping the door straight and true is also of great importance. For what good is a sliding door, if it is warped and unable to slide?

This can be particularly problematic when dealing with bypass sliding doors or pocket doors.

In any case, if keeping your doors straight and true is of primary importance in your project, there is only one way to build a door which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or cup for 50 years… and that’s to have,

“Sing Core Inside.”

Sing Core panels have been used as sliding door core, hinge door core, and French door core with guaranteed non-warp and full structure warranty for 50 years. You, too, can have the best guarantee serving the door manufacturing industry.

Breaking News FritsJurgens Pivot Door Hardware

It’s no wonder the clients who use patented Sing pivot door core to build their high end doors are using the latest in leading edge pivot door hardware. While your pivot doors for the elite may feature any type or style of pivot door hardware made by any of the most popular pivot door hinge manufacturers, one new type of pivot door hinge is getting installed in more large pivot doors with Sing Core inside.

Breaking News

It has come to our attention that the new System M hardware from FritsJurgens in Holland is what all the latest buzz is all about.

What’s the big deal?

The big deal around Sing Core is always about big pivot doors. Not only big pivot doors but the biggest pivot doors because you could be talking about thousands of pounds of a large pivot door, which could be reduced to ten percent of the weight by having Sing Core inside.

Architects, our custom door manufacturers and millwork clients rely on the lightweight fail-safe aspects of pivot doors made with Sing Core to keep your project, not only at the elitist level of excellence, but within a reasonable budget. While those huge pivot doors can be very expensive to build and handle, the sheer weight of the door dictates the hardware necessary to accommodate such a door.

Installation of the hardware to operate an enormous pivot door can require extensive engineering efforts as well as becoming a burden on the installation, especially if it is being retrofit into an existing structure (not so bad if prepared for in a new structure being built).

Then comes along Holland’s FritsJurgens with the perfect match of sleek System M hardware that is the easiest pivot door hardware to install, especially in a retrofit application, carrying a weight of up to an 1,100 pound pivot door. That could be a 37 foot tall pivot door with Sing Core inside!

Concealed Pivot Door Hardware

The pivot closer is concealed within the door, not the floor! Making this the easiest to install pivot door hardware, requiring very little modification at the job site to install. Some of our custom pivot door builders are able to transport a completed pivot door system fully installed and pre-hung from their factory or millwork to the job site for the easiest installation of pivot doors ever, thanks to FritsJurgens’ System M nearly concealed hardware.

If you’re using a Sing pivot door blank for your pivot door substrate and you plan on using FritsJurgens’ System M pivot door hardware, all you have to do is let our design staff know when you’re placing your order. Sing Core can pre-install the required blocking necessary to accommodate the FritsJurgens System M pivot door hardware.

If you’re upgrading an existing non-Sing pivot door to a pivot door with Sing Core inside, you will be glad to know that FritsJurgens’ new System M closer works with existing FritsJurgens top plate and top pivot.

At present, this is a leading-edge well-kept secret among the most elite high end custom door manufacturers, but we thought you would like advance notice before this product becomes more widespread in use across the United States.

According to John Derosa, “The M is a wonderfully engineered, highly advanced pivot closer that is changing the technology of pivot doors. The fully adjustable M is the closer solution for large, heavy pivot doors without having to install any hardware into the floor or the ceiling.”

Here are some of what you can expect from your FritsJurgens System M Closer:

  • Everything in the door, nothing in the floor or ceiling
  • Super thin profile for min thickness doors 1 3/4″ (or thinner?)
  • 5 different models to choose from based on door width, weight, location of pivot (M32A, M32B, M32C, M32D, M32E)
  • Holds 661 lb doors and up to 1,100 lb doors under special circumstances
  • Adjustable speed, backset, floor plate and more adjustments

Interior Sliding Doors

It is clear that not all interior sliding doors are the same. You never know when you might be seeking out Sing Core for your interior sliding doors. While they are primarily featured in large exterior sliding doors due to their lightweight and high strength as well as their ability to be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years. It’s a tall order, but there’s only one way to accomplish such a feat with an exterior sliding door and it requires having Sing Core inside.

The Only 50 Year Warp-free Guarantee and full structure warranty

When architects and designers are working on very high end homes (i.e., multimillion dollar estates), their clients want only the best, so they seek out characteristics which can only be attributed to Sing Core. Besides giving the best door companies, millworks and custom door manufacturers the ability to make big interior sliding doors (tall, wide and thick) that are lightweight and high strength, they also feature insulation for sound deadening capabilities and climate control.

Interior sliding doors with Sing Core inside can feature any available flat building material on the surface of the interior sliding doors such as any species of natural wood stave, aluminum, cement, concrete, fiberglass, FRP, glass, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, metal (brass, copper, etc.), and steel (including cold rolled steel, diamond plate steel, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, and stainless steel), just to name a few. So, the possibilities are vast, indeed.

Not just exclusive to the very wealthy, sometimes homeowners just want to have the best (you know who you are), and they have their architects, designers and door companies seek out Sing Core for their interior sliding doors also. Just know that we do not make or sell the interior sliding doors for which we are credited with. We only supply the raw material to the door companies, millworks and custom door makers who make us and doors with Sing Core inside look so good. While we do not deal with the end users, you can have your trade professional(s) deal with us directly.

Some of the best uses of interior sliding doors with Sing Core inside include,

Closet Doors

Closet doors are probably the number one interior use of interior sliding doors with Sing Core inside, especially in very large homes with large closets. In some of these huge homes and estates, the closets can be as big as a normal-sized living room, or an entire small house. These wardrobes can go far beyond what you might think of as a walk in closet, requiring large sliding wardrobe doors. See our new C Series line of Affordable Barn Door and Sliding Closet Doors.

Often high end closets are climate controlled, all but requiring sliding closet doors with Sing Core inside to complete the safety and security of the temperature and humidity maintenance without wasting unnecessary energy, which also support the Eco-friendly attributes of the most modern closet doors featuring Sing Core.

Of the many types and styles of closet doors being shipped from Sing Core include bifold closet doors (as well as other folding closet doors), closet barn doors, French closet doors, wood sliding closet doors and our classic unbreakable sliding mirror closet doors. And remember, they can be made of anything from beautiful, exotic natural woods to any metal, including silver plate or gold plate interior sliding doors.

Unbreakable Mirror Closet Doors

Ever since the introduction of the Sing Unbreakable Mirror, high end fashion custom door manufacturers have been sourcing Sing Core for their sliding mirror closet doors due to their impervious nature and the ability to create a high end mirrored sliding closet door that is not extremely heavy and potentially very dangerous, both to the weight of the door, and the fragility of the glass mirror surfaces of the sliding mirror closet doors.

Whether you’re a famous actor or rock star, if you want the best mirrored sliding closet doors, that offer both safety and security during the operation of the door (that can come with a 50-year guarantee), then you know you want all your sliding mirror wardrobe doors to have Sing Core inside. Hands down the only way to effectively create lightweight unbreakable mirror closet sliding doors.

Image on the left is a modular large 8×10 door shipped in a pair of 4×10 components cam locked together on site for near seamless paint-ready perfection. Image on right is close-up of near-seamless connection (+/- .006 in.).

Bifold Doors

Interior Bifold doors with Sing Core inside have the distinction of being the most exquisite high performance articulating bifold doors due to Sing Core’s ultra high precision (+/- .006 in.) tolerances. Again for those special jobs requiring large bi fold doors you are likely to encounter problems associated with warping bifold doors which may compromise the operation of these specialty interior doors altogether. With more moving parts, the importance of having non-warping bifold doors is of primary importance.

Internal bifold doors aren’t much good if the operation of the bi fold internal doors’ systems are failing due to warp, bend or twisting interior bifold doors. The same goes with folding closet doors of all kinds which operate with more than the normal number of hinges which might be used in standard hinged doors. Internal folding doors benefit widely when using Sing Core inside folding internal doors.

Sometimes the hardware used for interior bifold doors includes a combination of folding sliding and pivoting hardware in this type of folding interior doors.

Sliding Barn Doors

Interior sliding barn doors are gaining more momentum in the interior sliding door market every day. Contemporary architects are specifying Sing Core inside their large exterior doors, though there is a growing trend of specifying the patented Sing Core as substrate for sliding barn doors, too.

Why specify Sing Core for your interior sliding doors? Mostly because sliding barn doors are more costly than their hinged door counterpart, and the hardware is more expensive. The weight of the interior sliding barn doors determine the type of hinges which are necessary. This task is far easier than one might expect.

Simply weigh the Sing door blank and use the appropriate interior sliding barn door hardware. All hardware for sliding barn doors is determined by the weight of the door. Even though Sing sliding barn doors are more lightweight than other interior barn doors, qualifying them for using lighter weight-rated hardware for sliding barn doors, owners, project managers, designers and architect may elect to select higher-than-current-weight-rated hardware. Why?

Because, since the doors accommodate the higher opening and can be very tall and wide, the door designer can opt for a much thicker barn door (which would be next to impossible to build and still maintain a good strength-to-weight ratio). Large sliding barn doors would be much less impressive, visually, if the size and weight of the sliding barn door hardware was reduced to match the weight of the interior barn doors. Sliding barn doors made with Sing technology are far more attention-grabbing when viewed by professionals who cannot understand how such large doors can be operated with such sleek and lightweight hardware.

To maintain the visual impact of the modern barn doors the designer may opt for very heavy duty barn sliding door hardware to achieve the impressive appearance from the barn door interior.

Also, barn door closet applications are quite the rage as sliding barn doors continue infiltrate the market of closet doors. So, be on the lookout for indoor barn doors as they become more commonplace as barn closet doors. You can get Sing closet barn doors directly from your favorite local door company, millwork or custom door manufacturer.

When you think of barn doors, you’re likely to think about the exterior sliding doors on old barns, right? Well, not if you’re a contemporary architect or designer, because now it’s quite fashionable to feature interior barn doors throughout your home for that little extra added flair.

The Only 50 Year Warp-free Guarantee and full structure warranty

Interior barn doors are similar in appearance to the barn doors that you think about when you think of barn doors, except they are smaller to fit the various door openings around the home’s interior. These interior barn doors operate on interior barn door hardware that varies in appearance as they are individually suited for different design features and styles to fit any visionary taste.

These unique barn style doors are an attention getting throwback to simpler times and can feature distressed surfaces for that special look of rustic interior barn doors. As far as appearances, modern interior barn doors could feature any flat building material adding to the intrigue, flexibility, scalability and outside the box creativity for any of the barn doors in house.

Aluminum barn doors Brass barn doors

Exceptional Interior Barn Doors

The very best of the best in interior barn doors features Sing Core inside and represents a concerted effort between the manufacturers of patented Sing Core and the finest craftsmen who apply all the finest details at your favorite millwork or custom door manufacturing shop to your interior barn doors for homes creating the most advanced top of the line interior barn doors available today.

Sing Core provides the base materials that give your indoor sliding barn doors huge benefits over any other interior barn door that does not have Sing Core inside. Or instance your interior barn doors could be Eco-friendly, lightweight, high strength, and insulated for climate control and sound deadening capabilities; all this and more, just for having Sing Core inside your barn door interior.

Let’s take a better look at what could be inside your inside barn doors, which could very well be

Lightweight Interior Barn Doors

Having Sing Core inside your interior barn doors for homes will have your indoor barn doors weighing in at a fraction of the weight of traditional stile and rail interior barn door configurations because patented Sing Core’s hybrid solid barn door core weighs about one-tenth the weight of other solid wood substrates, thereby reducing the weight of your barn sliding door by one-third or more overall.

Lighter weight means less overhead costs across the board, saving huge dollars for your project that would otherwise be wasted on extra shipping and handling charges, transportation and handling on the job site, installation costs, expensive interior barn door hardware, and maintenance costs over time.

High Strength Interior Barn Doors

When it comes to concerns about strength, Sing Core has been independently rates at 660 PSI, many times the 10 to 110 PSI of other lightweight barn door core materials. In fact Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound. Why might you need such a strong interior barn door? Because this is the key to creating a high precision barn door that can remain straight and true, no matter what size (even very large interior barn doors made of wood).

That’s what enables interior barn doors with Sing Core inside to be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup or otherwise fail for 50 years, regardless of size or surface materials used in the creation of your interior sliding barn doors.

Warp-free Interior Barn Doors

Only Sing Core can create a door that can be guaranteed not to fail for 50 years, including full structure warranty. The door companies who use Sing Core admit that the 50 year guarantee far supersedes even their own warranties.

For instance, contractors, millworks and door companies might normally guarantee their own work for ten years (which is a lot, the normal warranty is generally more like one year). Even so, if the project includes interior barn doors that are large in size, say over seven feet tall, each of these door will be individually excluded from the warranty due to their tendency to warp and move according to the change of weather or barometric pressure.

Thanks to Sing Core, these companies no longer have to exclude these large barn doors from their regular service warranties or guarantees, and the extra 40 years are passed on to the end user for the doors that have Sing Core inside.

Insulated Interior Barn Doors

And extra added benefit of having Sing Core inside your barn style interior doors is inherently due to the construction of the core itself. Patented Sing Core is created by starting with a vertical wood grain torsion box core; only the structure grids are not left vacant. These otherwise hollow areas are filled with rigid recycled foam and sandwiched between two structure skins using formaldehyde-free glue.

The resulting interior barn door panel is insulated for both sound deadening and climate control for better separation between spaces, which comes in really handy between areas where a doorway separates rooms with separate functions. Dividing and further defining adjoining spaces which may carry on events or activities running concurrently, such as separating the kitchen from the dining room, or providing more privacy for dens, bedrooms, game rooms, or bathrooms.

All with the elegant appeal of a unique barn style sliding door specifically made for superior performance inside your home.

Interior barn doors with Sing Core inside aren’t for everyone, only the people who want the best and will not settle for less when it comes to the barn doors inside house.
