Large Cold Rolled Steel Door Modular Assembly Specifications

General Specifications

Standard Sing Core Cold Rolled Steel Door Blanks are manufactured with patented Sing Core material as the base interior substrate of the door. The Sing Core substrate material is created using a vertical grain natural wood torsion box design while the traditionally empty voids are filled wall to wall with recycled foam. The foam material is available in various forms depending on your specification. The default is recycled EPS foam. Natural wood lock blocks can be positioned at locations as necessary for locking mechanism placement or as anchor points. The core material is framed by 1.25-inch wood stiles and rails for finishing strength and attaching hardware. The torsion box is completed by adhering 16 gauge cold rolled steel as exterior material (skin) according to your specifications.

Cold Rolled Steel Door Surface Material

The door blank surface material is made of 16 gauge cold rolled steel unless otherwise specified. Bonding agent used in adhesion of the entire composite material is formaldehyde-free.

Millworks Crestmark and SingCore

Celebrating 19 years of serving customers with high end custom products, Crestmark Architectural Millworks is a dynamic and fast-paced company serving the millwork needs of commercial builders and general contractors in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

crestmark-architectural-millworks-team-arcata-california

The Crestmark Architectural Millworks Team

One of Crestmark’s special abilities is to work hand-in-hand with the contractor to achieve the architect’s vision in a creative process involving the delicate balance of high precision and performance, visual and mechanical aesthetics, logistics and budget considerations.

According to President Sean Olsen, “We have a reputation of being very creative, using products like SingCore to achieve what the architect wants, while making it a practical thing to do.”

A case in point: Crestmark was approached by Webcor Builders to provide solutions for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), who required a sensitive artwork storage area with very low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and unique design characteristics, such as 10 foot tall cabinet doors with hidden hardware and 1/8 inch reveals between doors. Crestmark Senior Manager, Jim Farahmand, says “Regarding size, weight, and stability concerns, it was obvious conventional composite cores were going to be prohibitive.”

Originally, the Crestmark team had discovered SingCore as a resource for “building 16 foot torsion box shop table tops that needed to be dead-flat.” Says Olsen, “We looked at SingCore and thought it was light and had the look the Museum required as well as stability sufficient for the application.”

“SingCore’s engineers and fabricators were flexible and able to provide a fully sealed core, custom blocking, aluminum cladding, and facing materials with paintable surfaces to satisfy the architect’s stringent requirements.”

Production Manager, Patrick Silva, recalls how easy the SingCore material was to work with, “I was surprised at how light the material was. Normally a four foot by ten foot door core weighs a couple hundred pounds, but instead it was light enough almost to handle the entire piece myself,” Silva continues, “I’ve had issues with warped panels before, and to have this material which is so nice, flat, stable and easy to work with is great.” Silva also applauds the support staff at SingCore in terms of pre-engineering the panels to, “have slightly larger perimeter blocking and aluminum cladding so that we could trim them down and band the edges in our shop.”

Once the cabinetry was installed, Crestmark’s installation crew were able to maneuver and align the doors to the cases, and report that “the weight factor of the 10 foot tall [SingCore] doors was a huge advantage,” recalling that the installation of the cabinetry into the wall was the most challenging part of the job, not attaching the large doors as one might expect.

Project Manager, Jim Farahmand reports, “I don’t think we’ve ever seen such stringent specifications on anything quite like the SFMOMA due to the mediums they wanted to protect, and SingCore came through in fine style.” and added, “The product was instantly acceptable to the architect, so we were able to move forward very quickly and get it done.”

Having successfully completed prominent projects like the SFMOMA expansion has brought in other quote requests from new potential clients seeking out Crestmark’s particular brand of problem-solving and creative millwork solutions.

Initial invitations to bid can range from very complete, with detailed architectural specifications, to rudimentary drawings and concepts. It’s important for Sean Olsen and Jim Farahmand to decide which projects are a good match for Crestmark’s services because even though they do not charge their clientele for estimates, they may invest an entire week to estimate one millwork package. Exercising discernment, the Crestmark team reviews each new proposal, deciding which project to invest in.

Airbnb, Inc. was one such new client who approached Crestmark with plans calling for “two large sliding doors 20 to 25 feet long by 9 to 10 feet tall that could be operated on either side of a concrete wall.

“SingCore offered us the flexibility to provide a lightweight, multi-panel solution that could be assembled on site with internal blocking where we needed it to accommodate the hardware.”

Patrick Silva interjects “These two huge sliding doors were clad with White Oak, wire-brush finished, and could have weighed thousands of pounds… but instead, we made them weigh a couple hundred pounds apiece.”

President Sean Olsen

Crestmark President, Sean Olsen says, “For two people to be able to handle these huge doors from the shop, to stage it, disassemble it, transport it to the job site and not have to worry about access, saves both time and energy, which is a great advantage.

Silva asserts, “The fact that anybody can open these doors single handedly is clearly not simply a function of the hardware, but rather because the door is so light. It’s an impressive application.”

Senior Manager, Jim Farahmand reinforces, “To take the pieces we’re provided, not to have to move mountains to make it happen and to end up with this monolithic feature that people are in awe of is a clear indication of how versatile SingCore can be.

“Our confidence in our vendors like SingCore enables us to arrive at solutions quickly because we know the material will perform well within the limits of its component hardware; the engineering goes a lot more smoothly and we know SingCore also stands behind their product.”

“As far as warranty goes, if the customer requires a ten year warranty on the doors we’re providing, we know we’re covered by SingCore’s fifty year warranty, and so our response can be ‘OK. No problem,’ which is great for us and instantly reassuring to the client.”

Crestmark Architectural Millwork is optimistic about the current trend of growth in the industry. According to President, Sean Olson, “The market is turning around and we’re seeing continued growth in negotiated work again.” Unlike the last eight years that were focused on hard-bidding which was a difficult time industry-wide.

Jim Farahmand says, “SingCore’s team of engineers can assist us if a secured client is facing budget issues, often helping us to value-engineer the products while still helping the architect achieve the vision they’re looking for.”

Modular Exhibit Systems

The most proficient exhibitors spend a great deal of money when they attend an exhibition show. Exhibit manufacturers expend a great deal of effort to make certain their customers have the high end representation they expect because their image and reputation (both the exhibitor and the manufacturer) depends on the impression made at the exhibition.

Sustainability is an issue if you’re constructing a high end display on site, then basically disposing of it. While the new exhibit is being built for the next exhibition to be attended (assuming you’re attending more than one exhibit per year).

Modular Trade Show Displays

Enter modular trade show displays which are an Eco-friendly approach to expensive exhibit systems that are effective but inefficient.

A modular exhibit system offers huge benefit for the exhibitors who use them. Their modular design is based on interlocking lightweight, high-strength panels that interlock. These exhibit systems can easily be assembled by one or two unskilled laborers in any configuration you desire.

Once assembled the exhibitor may apply exhibit signage or vinyl wrap, just like a custom build, only after the exhibition event, the booth materials are disassembled and stacked (flat packed) and transported to the next event for reassembly on site.

The custom case could be flipped over and used as a portable trade show counter, making it an active component within the exhibit when unpacked and assembled.

Easy to Assemble Exhibition System

How easy is it to assemble a Sing Modular Exhibit System? So easy in fact that this one person (with very little help) assembled this 70 ft trade show display in little more than half-an-hour (see time lapse video).

Tools required? An Allen wrench. That’s it. Nothing else, thanks to the cam-lock design of these particular trade show display panels, which interlock almost as easily as LEGOs.

Individually Customizable Exhibition Components

Whether you’re using your modular exhibition system for a stylish museum display, art show, product demonstration, training seminar, trade show display or temporary in plant office space, you can customize your exhibition components to meet your architectural specifications regardless of your trade show booth sizes. Your individual components can be manufactured to any size (height/length, width and thickness) to achieve the high precision results you desire.

Economy Standard Modular Trade Show System

For the more economically-minded and frugal exhibitor, we try to maintain a regular inventory of our standard modular trade show components in stock, which require little or no lead time, otherwise your custom trade show panels may require four to six weeks for delivery.

See: Standard Modular Trade Show System

Modern Trade Show Booth

Imagine owning your own high end modern trade show booth that could be lightweight, easily transferred, assembled, disassembled, stored and reconfigured live during the exhibition event.

In between shows, your modular exhibit system is safely stored away, ready for the next exhibition.

And if your company grows, from a 10 ft x 20 ft exhibit space to a 10 ft x 70 ft piece of exhibit real estate, no problem. Just add the modular trade show components you need to expand the system you already have. No need to buy a new exhibit system (unless you want to), making your Sing exhibit system the ultra modern trade show booth. The only

Modular Exhibit Systems Guaranteed 50 Years

Only premium modular exhibit systems and trade show displays can be guaranteed warp-free including full structure warranty for a full 50 years.

That means your investment in SingCore exhibit systems are intended to far exceed the life of any other trade show displays and effective return on investment (ROI).

Easily Repairable

With such a long life, you might be concerned about the eventual damage to a Sing modular display panel. Again, no problem; unlike other trade show display panels, a Sing Panel can be repaired (for instance, if forklift forks were run through it) and returned to its original condition without compromising the strength of the original panel.

Oversized Doors

When it comes to oversized doors, don’t you want your doors to be low maintenance and warp-free?

Thanks to the invention of our patented non-warp solution any door of any size can be a warp-free door if it has SingCore inside.

Oversized Doors Challenge

The trouble with oversized doors today is that all over the USA and around the world if the doors are large doors – over 7 ft. tall and 3.5 ft wide – problems will arise causing the door to fail because all big doors warp. That’s the basic problem and SingCore solves that problem quite nicely.

If your oversized door has professional SingCore inside it can be guaranteed to be warp-free for 50 years, including full structural warranty. No other door can be guaranteed to be warp-free unless it has SingCore inside.

The Secret of Warp-free Oversized Doors

The secret of creating warp-free oversized doors is out, and SingCore is the answer. Besides being guaranteed warp-free for 50 years, your high quality doors with SingCore inside offer other features eluding doors manufactured any other way. You can expect some amazing additional attributes due to the composite structure of SingCore door blanks. For instance:

Lightweight: SingCore is a solid internal door core designed for oversized doors that weighs a fraction of other solid wood door cores. Oversized doors with SingCore inside can weigh 100 lbs. each in comparison to the 1,100 lbs. each of the original solid core large doors being architecturally replaced.

High Strength: SingCore has been independently tested and rated at 660 PSI. That’s stronger than steel pound-for-pound. No other lightweight door core material is stronger or more effective for oversized doors that can withstand over 600 lbs.

Will Not Warp, Bend or Twist: Professional SingCore will not warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail due to the vertical grain torsion box structure reinforced with rigid structural strength foam insulation and patent pending stiffeners. Sandwiched between two stress skins SingCore is the only door core material than can be guaranteed warp-free for 50 years.

Insulated: SingCore is packed with insulation for climate control and sound deadening characteristics ranging from R3.5 and up per inch due to the structural insulation used inside the torsion box structural grids. 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, while solid wood is rated at R.71 to R1.4 per inch.

Oversized Garage Doors

When garage door companies create a warp-free insulated exterior 10 ft garage door that stands between the garage door interior and fully exposed to the elements only one high quality large garage door solution can be guaranteed to be warp-free for 50 years. And 8 ft. doors are child’s play for SingCore, the only exterior garage door material that can pack such an impressive warranty. So, if you have a large garage with oversized garage doors and you want worry-free long life and low maintenance, tell your garage door manufacturer, you want, “SingCore inside.”

Oversized Front Door

Not unlike oversized garage doors, the oversized front door is the number one most important access point in the home. Being oversized exterior doors, the importance of lightweight, high strength, warp-free and highly insulated adds to the overall safety and security of the home protecting the family from exterior noise, weather conditions, energy loss, and intruders while maintaining secure, uncompromised door seal. Quite a feat for any oversized doors, and are the only oversized entry doors that can be guaranteed for 50 years.

Oversized Sliding Doors

Oversized sliding doors are the most important oversized doors to keep warp-free for long-term maintenance-free operation, because if the large sliding door were to warp, bend or twist the door becomes damaged or inoperable. This is especially true for oversized pocket doors which are concealed within a hidden compartment inside the wall, when in the open position and warped, may not be easily withdrawn from its resting place when opened, or alternatively may not be opened due to not being able to retract into its predetermined location.

Guaranteed Oversized Doors

Prior to the introduction of SingCore to the oversized door builders, door manufacturers and millworks found it impossible to offer any warranty on 8 foot doors, 10 ft garage doors or even larger doors. Now, thanks to SingCore, they can build and offer a warranty on doors to remain warp-free for 50 years, even if the oversized door spans 50 ft.

Temporary Exterior Walls

You never know when you might have the need for temporary exterior walls for added safety and security, in natural disaster management, construction, as barricades, for temporary offices or parking lot structures.

Your options are limited to transporting temporary structures to the site location, building temporary structures from scratch, or designing and using modular temporary exterior wall components to store and have on-hand when needed.

Lightweight Temporary Exterior Walls

Regardless of the desired surface materials, your Sing temporary exterior wall weigh-in at a fraction of the weight of their heavily constructed alternatives. The resulting lightweight exterior wall panels are easy to manipulate, stack, transfer and store. The light weight also saves on energy consumption both on the road and at the job site.

High Strength Temporary Exterior Walls

Other honeycomb-type lightweight structural material is not built to last and does not possess much in the way of strength (10 to 110 PSI) while SingCore has unparalleled strength (660 PSI) stronger than steel pound for pound.

Temporary Exterior Wall Versatility

Your temporary exterior walls can be built to your custom architectural specifications and manufactured with any desired flat building material such as any wood species, metal (aluminum, cold rolled steel, copper, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, stainless steel, etc.) or other material (concrete, fiberglass, FRP, glass, HPL, Kevlar, Lexan, LVL, MDF, etc.).

Your temporary exterior wall panels can be custom designed and built to any size (height/length, width, thickness) for protection from the elements, dust, climate control, remodeling, and infection control for hospitals, disaster relief or other industrial applications.

Flat Pack for Transfer and Storage

All Sing temporary exterior wall components conveniently flat pack for the best management of space and less transportation costs.

Easy to Assemble Temporary Exterior Walls

Unlike on site building, using SingCore modular temporary exterior walls to fabricate the secure space necessary is as simple as snapping the components together with cam-lock interconnects that are high precision and easy to assemble. The only tool required for assembly, a simple Allen wrench.

Your temporary exterior walls can be used as a moving wall, or reconfigured on-site to manage obstruction, create separation, increase privacy and security or maintain effective control of traffic flow.

Reusable Temporary Exterior Walls

Sustainability and efficiency are maximized by saving energy and waste as Sing temporary exterior walls can be used over and over again, and in the event of on-site damage, are easily repaired without compromising the exterior wall panel’s structure strength.

Wall Temporary Wall System

Basically, your temporary wall ideas can be unleashed in conjunction with the professional design staff and SingCore who will help to educate your staff in how to design and how to build a temporary wall that will meet or exceed your high performance expectations and specifications.
