Lightweight Slatwall

Slatwall has taken a whole new turn as patented SingCore makes lightweight slatwall available that is very strong as modular slatwall components to create the most comprehensive lightweight slat wall system that can be easily interlocked and used as trade show displays.

Hard Rock Maple

Affordable Slatwall

The ability of SingCore to offer standard-sized slatwall components makes Sing slatwall the most affordable and durable thermally-fused laminate (TFL) slat wall system (which is also easy to attach and remove your vinyl graphics, if you so desire) available with interlocking lightweight slatwall panels which do not require a base wall or stick framed wall to attach the slat wall to.

Slatwall Panels

Patented Sing slatwall panels are affordable in standard sizes, such as retail slatwall panels at 47.5 x 95.5 inches and modular slatwall panels used as trade show displays in two sizes: 90 x 36 and 90 x 22 inches, each slatwall panel is 2 inches thick and features slatwall slots every 6 inches.

Modular Slatwall Panels

Your standard sing slatwall panels may be configured and reconfigured in any way you so desire. Additional slatwall panel components in standard sizes and connection standards can be purchased at any time to expand or radically change your slatwall system design. Sing reusable slatwall is lightweight and flat packs for easy storage in between uses, if for temporary purposes. In the case of slatwall trade show displays, your entire slatwall display system can be easily flat packed for shipment to the next trade show or back home for storage until next year.

Lightweight High Strength Metal-look Slatwall

Our new alternative for making lightweight metal-looking metal slatwall panels incorporates the use of decorative HPL surfaces, from manufacturers like Masonite and Formica. Following are photo examples of just some of the metal-look lightweight high strength slatwall surface materials available.

Examples include Aluminum Stainless Slatwall, Brushed Aluminum Slatwall, Brushed Stainless Slatwall, Aluminum Footplate Slatwall, Brasstoned Aluminum Slatwall, Mirrored Aluminum Slatwall,  Polished Aluminum Slatwall, Satin Aluminum Slatwall, and Solid Metal Skatwall made with HPL that looks like real metal panels at a fraction of the cost. This is the economical approach to metal slatwall panels. If you don’t see what you are looking for (these are the most popular metal-look slatwall panels), just ask us.

Trade Show Flooring

Sing Core not only builds the best modular trade show displays but we also have the most lightweight, advanced trade show display flooring that easily connects together in a snap. Not only used in trade show displays, you will also see lightweight high strength Sing flooring in concerts, clubs, outdoor events, schools and theaters as temporary raised floors and stages.

Easy and quick to assemble, weighing a fraction of other materials, and stronger than steel (660 PSI) pound for pound. Sing trade show flooring could be the definitive trade show display component of your best trade show event ever.

 

Portable Modular Stage Floor Example

View the following video of assembly of this 20 ft. x 12 ft. portable stage that could be used as trade show flooring. Imagine being able to load up all the modular components and layout your temporary flooring in convenient sections (as you can see each component can easily be carried by one person) and snap it all together in 12 minutes?


This 12 minute insulated portable stage assembly has been time lapsed to a brief 1 minute video.

The Sing Portable Stage

Dance floors easy to assemble portable dance floor portable dance floorsWhen you’re making a portable stage out of patented Sing Core, you are using the most advanced floor materials in your portable stages. Think about it; what other Eco-friendly building material can offer such lightweight, high strength and insulation?

Why insulation? Just ask our Sing Core clientele. Architects, designers and sound engineers seek us out for the sound deadening qualities that come with the nature of the patented Sing Core substrate that is basically a wood torsion box structure / rigid foam composite that is a noticeable improvement when measured against other traditionally available stage platforms.

The sound deadening qualities of sing Core can enable a live band with an acoustic drum kit (or DJ) to perform upstairs overhead of a restaurant without impeding the quality of dining going on below. What would you do with your Sing Portable Stage?

Trade Show Flooring

Used in a variety of commercial applications you will find Sing trade show flooring utilized among a wide variety of industries from theater to rock star venues around the world. No other insulated stage flooring is so lightweight, strong and high precision, while being able to be assembled and disassembled on site without the use of special tools or experienced trade professionals.

For raised flooring you determine the height of your trade show flooring whether it is used as an insulated step up from neighboring trade show displays, or whether you will feature a high end stage presentation for that professional and elegant impressive demonstration.

Hardwood Trade Show Flooring

Your Sing trade show flooring is manufactured to your architectural specifications which may include any hardwood trade show flooring surface material which is commercially available at the time of purchase. While Birch, Cherry, Maple, Oak and Walnut are among the most popular natural wood surfaces in hardwood trade show flooring, you are welcomed to specify any hardwood, even exotic woods for that extra pizzazz.

AWI Members Large Door Solution

When you’re dealing with high end large doors, long conference tables and oversized casework, you need to deal with a reputable millwork company who is highly qualified and well versed in many Architectural Woodwork Standards which help to create high precision products. Being a member of the Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) is an excellent way to assure the woodworking professionals you are working with are knowledgeable and proficient in their woodworking capabilities.

The highest quality standard endorsed by the AWI is Premium, yet some clients have much higher performance and expectations which raise the architectural standards across the board. The architect is faced with specifying the standards the client desires, which may far exceed AWI Premium standards.

One such common request includes high performance expectations for components which AWI maintains low expectations.

For instance, if the client’s desire is to have a 12 foot tall wood pivot door with little or no deflection or door warp, there is no matching AWI standard. The standard for allowable deflection in a 7 foot tall door including warp, bow, cup, or twist is 1/4 inch. There exists no official standard for doors over 7 feet tall, and millworks and door companies are likely to require a signed waiver from the client signing-off on any expectations of warranty on any greater than 7 foot tall doors.

Even though 1/4 inch warp is recognized as a reasonable amount of deflection and allowable by AWI standards, in some cases the expectations of the client still remains. The architect specifies the desires of the client and it is up to the millwork company or door manufacturer to determine how it might be possible to create an enormous warp-free door of any size.

Fortunately, AWI members can reach out to AWI suppliers, like SingCore, who specialize in helping to design and create warp-free doors of any size, type or style.

The true-flat experts at SingCore are extremely proficient in creating warp-free panels of any size which can be structurally guaranteed not to fail or warp for 50 years. So, if the rest of the job is guaranteed for 10 years by the millwork conducting the work, then offering to warranty the entire job – including the large oversized doors – then becomes reasonable.

Prior to coming to SingCore one door company simply stated, “All large doors warp and cannot be guaranteed under any circumstances.” Now, thanks to utilizing the services of certified warp-free SingCore doors, the company can deliver the results according to the architectural specifications and expectations of the customer.

Not simply restricted to doors, the ability of SingCore to provide extremely flat large surfaces of any material that can be guaranteed to remain flat over time spills over into many other products and services.

Common surface materials include any available natural wood species, aluminum, brass, concrete, cold rolled steel, fiberglass, FRP, glass, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, MDF, stainless steel, veneer or any other commercially available flat material.

SingCore is increasingly being architecturally specified as the standalone solution for many large exterior projects where particular components are exposed to the elements as well as interior woodwork, panel work, partition work, casework and fixtures as supplied or manufactured for all types of buildings across many industries including retail, commercial, hospitality, industrial and high end residential industries.

You might be surprised to discover how more and more architects are specifying SingCore in their woodworking, metal, laminates, plastics, fabrics, design work, finishing and installation.

AWI members know if they are faced with a problematic large oversize project with challenges associated with insulation, weight, strength, high precision or high performance, reaching out and suggesting,

“SingCore Inside”

Is the only solution which can be guaranteed for 50 years.

“This is why we like working with AWI members,” says CEO and inventor of SingCore, Peter Sing, “They know how to work with our solution to their challenges.”

Sing Panels with Plumbing and Wire Chase

sing-panel-horizontal-embedded-cable-chase-wire-chase-plumbing-chaseCustom Sing Panels can be manufactured to your architectural specifications which may include special chases for plumbers to route hot and cold water feeds via plumbing or electricians to run electrical wiring, communications and security through a patented Sing panel.

Surface mount conduit and exterior chases can be added to Sing panels as they are, though many users of our patented insulation reinforced torsion box core prefer to use embedded wiring chase of for water supply pre-installed plumbing chase.

Embedded Chases

Embedded chases can be placed at specified locations prior to manufacturing your Sing panel to meet the specific requirement of the job at hand, accommodating communications center needs or the special needs of inplant offices, clean rooms, temporary warehousing, watch towers, guard shacks, portable classrooms, spa expansions, home theaters or any application where running utilities, like electricity, wiring and/or cables or plumbing inside and through your Sing panel may be advantageous.

Common horizontal chases are specified at 16 inches and 45 inches from the base, while the most common location for a vertical chase is in the center of the Sing panel. Regardless, every Sing panel is custom manufactured in our factory, and we can have your wire chase or plumbing pre-installed within your panels at any location specified.

How to Specify Wire Chase Locations

sing-panel-embedded-cable-chase-wire-chase-plumbing-chaseIt is easy to have your embedded chases pre-installed at the proper locations. All you have to do is to be certain to disclose the precise locations and sizes of your wire chase (plumbing chase or cable chase). We will provide you with an architectural drawing of your panel before your custom Sing panel is built for you to confirm the chase’s location.

No Loss of R Value

To preserve the R-value of your Sing panel it is advisable to have the cable chase filled with spray foam insulation after pulling the wires or routing the plumbing through the embedded channels. Likewise, if a channel is not used, it should also be filled with foam insulation prior to final assembly, unless insulation properties are not necessary for your application.

Panel Chase Options

Although many options abound for electricians and plumbers to install access to services, another popular method includes running cable, wire and plumbing through panel connectors that run the length of your standard Sing panels, or alternatively running services through the floor.

Many creative options are available for adding access to water, electricity and communications without having the necessity of pre-installed chases being embedded in your Sing panels.

* Note: STC rating varies according to size, thickness, skin, and other factors. Sing Core does not rate doors, although we are fortunate enough to have one of the best sound testing labs in the world, here in the Pacific Northwest. If you require a specific STC rating, Sing Core can build a door to your architectural specifications and have the resulting door tested at our rating facility for an official rating.
