T Slot Panel

The Sing T Slot Panel is an extraordinary composite of leading edge technologies resulting in a nearly unlimited variety of configurations.

The good news: You can create to your heart’s content ~ and ~ much of the work has already been done, because most (if not all) of the imaginable components have already been designed for integration with the Sing T Slot Panel.

SnowGreenStorageBox1Insulated Lightweight and High Strength

Standard Sing T Slot Panels come packed with insulated rated at R3.5 per square inch. Foam can be upgraded from our standard EPS foam (R3.5) for even more insulation per your specifications by using Polyurethane foam (R6.5),  Polyisocyanurate (R7.5), Phenolic (over R8) or other more advanced foams that may be available to meet your specifications.

Insulated Sing T Slot Panels are the only panels that offer not only lightweight and strength but also offer excellent temperature control. The unique attributes of the Sing Core material offer insulated isolation between the separate sides of the T Slot Panels providing a protective thermal barrier between interior and exterior surfaces. Keep cold on one side and heat on the other effectively with insulated Sing T Slot Panels for advanced climate control.

The sound deadening characteristics are added benefits – especially for temporary equipment enclosures, structures and portable clean rooms or emergency shelters – providing added safety, security and an additional barrier from external sources.

Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels

Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are an Eco-friendly unique combination of traditional high-end carpentry skills and modern space-age technology alternative to other insulated aluminum panels that are lightweight and high strength and proudly made in the USA.

insulated aluminum panels eco friendly lightweight high strength demonstration

Strength deflection demonstration of 1 inch 13 ft. long insulated aluminum panel

What makes Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels different from other insulated aluminum panels?

The beginning of the Sing Insulated Aluminum Panel’s uniqueness, you must start at the heart of the insulated aluminum panel, which is the SingCore. The patented core features a structure grid built of vertical grain torsion box. For many years, torsion box has been known to add strength and stability to large structures covering long spans while reducing the overall weight.

Left to itself, the torsion box structure is traditionally left empty. Instead of being left empty the empty spaces inside the torsion box structure grids are filled with rigid foam insulation, which gives the Sing Insulated Aluminum panels their insulation R value and unparalleled shear strength. The substructure is then sandwiched between two aluminum stress skins and laminated with formaldehyde-free glue, to form an insulated aluminum panel which is stronger than steel (660 PSI) pound for pound.

High Precision Insulated Aluminum Panels

insulated aluminum panels lightweight demonstration styrofoam insulation r value

Lightweight insulated aluminum panel

No other insulated aluminum panel is so high precision while other core materials vary in thickness across the span of the panel SingCore exemplifies new standards of precision with extremely accurate tolerance of +/- .006 inch.

This extreme high precision is why Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are used in high-end industrial applications throughout the United States government and science industries including the military, aerospace and NASA.

Aluminum Raised Floor, Shelving

You can use Sing aluminum panels as shelves or raised flooring throughout your private or commercial vehicles for better handling cargo. The lightweight and high strength offers organization and clarity, without compromising vehicle weight or handling, so you can add any configuration or levels which would best suit your needs.

Photos (above) show Sing aluminum panels installed in a van being used as a raised floor, shelf, or truck bed.

Custom Insulated Aluminum Panels

Insulation R value starts at R3.5 per inch and can be increased to meet your architectural specification by filling the torsion box voids with other varieties of rigid insulation materials possessing higher insulation values and/or fully encapsulated insulation and substrate.

In fact, all Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are custom manufactured in our factory located in the scenic Pacific Northwest to architectural specifications. It’s as if each insulated aluminum panel is an individual work of art. Specifications may include any variety of materials to meet specific high performance standards.

Other Applications

Not restricted for only use as industrial insulation panels, Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are found in commercial applications, such as retail, office, refrigeration and hospitality industries and in high end real estate and homes as insulated aluminum doors.

Insulated Aluminum Doors

Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are probably the best material to use for creating insulated aluminum doors, especially if the door in question is a large, oversized door. The lightweight, impressive shear strength and insulation reinforcement makes large doors foolproof with accuracy higher than solid steel at a fraction of the weight, reducing the cost of any large high-end metal door project immensely.

Cut Down on Expenses

The weight of the metal door dictates hardware and supporting structure requirements, which are expensive considerations for heavy doors. Heavy doors are also more expensive to transport and install requiring heavy equipment and labor, while insulated aluminum doors made with Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are lightweight, less expensive to ship, handle and install. Plus the structural insulated panels cost savings of having an insulated end product as well as doors that require less maintenance over time.

50 Year No Fail Guarantee

Only Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including full structure guarantee) for 50 years. That’s an impressive 50 year guarantee that is not something seen in industrial, commercial or residential industries. This 50 year guarantee would not be possible if not for the unprecedented structure strength of SingCore inside each Sing Insulated Aluminum Panel.

If you’re garage plans include looking to convert your garage into livable space, garage apartment, work shop, guest room or even an office, then you need to replace your current garage door with a patented SingCore carriage door. The most airtight door in the world can be fully guaranteed for structure strength and to remain warp-free for 50 years. No other carriage door is so lightweight, nor do they have the highest strength.

1. How Do You Do It?

See: How to Build a Sing Door

2. Why SingCore doors are the best choice for your garage door if you’re looking to convert your garage to a livable space:

Patented SingCore is changing the technology used and how to build a door with insulation for garage door. It starts with the successful story of building a high end door for a Manhattan penthouse.

SingCore door panels offer the best guarantee in the large door industry: 50 Years Warp-free and Structure Guarantee

If you are in the high end large door business, you know that no manufacturer wants to make a large door due to potential problems with warping. All the doors made of wood base core or skin are going to warp, it’s just a matter of time; sometimes within a month following the door installation compromising the garage door weather seal.

SingCore uses a combination of patented and patent pending large door technology to keep your Sing precision garage door straight and true, which keeps your garage with apartment plans air tight. Maintaining weather seal is so important for your garage with living space.

Garage doors deal directly with weather conditions, which is the primary reason for distortion in your garage door. Whether it’s a carriage door or overhead garage door, it’s almost impossible to keep it airtight due to their natural design and characteristics.

If you’re looking for a warm or cool garage conversion maximizing extra space for your comfortable living garage with apartment, SingCore garage door is the only choice, guaranteed by inventor Peter Sing.

3. How to design Sing carriage door

Special or custom order your Sing carriage door by filling out the order form (you must be in the trade or hire a trade professional to order it for you).

a) Design Look. Begin with surface design and by adding molding to create any type of appearance. Add glass or light treatment, cut Sing sandwich or Sing panel then add glass

b) Skin Choice. Very lightweight and weather proof skin will be 1/8 inch marine plywood, aluminum, FRP, HPL, etc…

c) Choice of Thickness

d) Strength Thickness of Sing Panel: Doubling the thickness will increase 4 times the strength. Standard thickness of sing panel is 1.5 inch and 2 inches but custom size thickness is almost unlimited

e) Edge Treatment. Sing sandwich panels are easy to cut to any size as well as adding the trim to create a solid edge to adapt to any size of door opening. If ordering Sing panel, the standard edge is 1.25 inch solid wood but with extra money you may order any size of solid wood on 4 sides of Sing panel

f) Size Limit of Sing Panel. Almost no limit for height and width of any Sing carriage door. Tell us the size and we will prove it to you

g) Window Light Cut Out. You may install any shape and almost any size of window at any location of the Sing door panel. (see pic.)

h) Man Door. We could provide man door cut off and install a man door in the Sing door panel for your easy access of the garage space without open the entire garage door.

I) Hard Point. Solid wood implant.

Butcher Block Workbench Top

butcher block workbench top high precision lightweigh high strength heavy duty non warpingAgain, in the discriminating workshop, where high precision raises the bar for workbench surface areas, the Sing butcher block workbench top outperforms other table top materials.

Sing Core has the highest precision core material (+/- .006 inch) that maintains unparalleled flatness and takes a beating in terms of exposure, density and barometric changes in the environment over time. The advanced composite technologies at the disposal of the engineers at Sing Core’s true flat headquarters can guarantee high precision results under even the most rigorous conditions.

Think about using Sing Core at the heart of your next exemplary butcher block workbench top material for stellar results.

Problem: Wood Butcher Block Will Fail

Simply due to the natural wood grain material of the wood components of the butcher block surface area, there will be a natural bending, twisting and counter-torque that will keep the material somewhat straight, but when it warps, it is problematic to have to deal with.

Managing a warped butcher block countertop, island, table, kitchen cart or workbench can be a hassle; may require disassembly, sanding and refinishing.

Sing Butcher Block to the Rescue

Avoid all these ongoing maintenance problems by starting with patented Sing non-warping butcher block available in almost any size.

Accept no substitutes. Top architects are specifying Sing Core butcher block as their material of choice; maybe you should, too.
