Types of Warp-free Wood

This new, patented light wood can be made of different types of wood to make the strongest wood building material that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist and remain structurally sound for 50 years. You can have the following warp-free wood panels with SingCore inside:

Ash Wood Panels	Beech Wood Panels	Birch Wood Panels
Cedar Wood Panels	Cherry Wood Panels	Fir Wood Panels
Fruitwood Wood Panels	Hard Rock Maple Panels	Hemlock Wood Panels
Hickory Wood Panels	Knotty Pine Wood Panels	Mahogany Wood Panels
Maple Wood Panels	Oak Wood Panels	Pine Wood Panels
Port Orford Cedar Panels	Red Cedar Wood Panels	Red Oak Wood Panels
Rosewood Wood Panels	Spruce Wood Panels	Sugar Maple Wood Panels
Teak Wood Panels	Walnut Wood Panels	White Oak Wood Panels

… Just to name a few, as warp-free Sing wood panels can feature any wood surface, including rare, exotic wood(s) when available.

Lightest Wood

The patented Sing technology creates a composite made of natural vertical grain torsion box substructure filled with recycled rigid foam to create a lightweight and strong substrate that when sandwiched between two pieces of any two wood skins, results in creating a composite lightweight wood panel that can be ripped, sawn and CNC cut just like any other piece of traditional plywood.

Strong Wood

The same torsion box composite core that makes all Sing wood weigh-in at a fraction of other solid materials also creates a wood panel that has been independently tested at 660 PSI – that’s stronger than steel pound for pound – which could qualify it as among the strongest material on earth.

It is so strong, that you can see thin panels spanning large areas with little deflection without additional support.

Light Strong Wood

Now you can use this revolutionary light strong wood building material for practically any project. Of all the endless applications of Sing Core, large oversize doors are the most popular use of this light strong wood for doors. Why? Because wood fails, it warps bends and twists, creating problems throughout all phases of the construction process.

Independent testing lab strongest wood stronger than steel pound for pound

Strongest Material on Earth

Most exciting about this patented breakthrough in materials science, is the fact that it can be made of any flat building material, like ceramic, concrete, fiberglass, glass, HPL, LVL and other materials, so it is not restricted just to being the strongest wood. You may already know that Sing Core also makes the

Strongest Metal

With just as much impact in the metalworking arena, Sing Core’s strongest metal is also the lightest metal, that pound for pound out performs other metals, even steel. So, if you’re looking for the strongest steel, the most lightweight steel is made with Sing Core inside.

Isn’t it time you considered replacing your extremely outdated heavy steel panels with Sing Core’s lightweight steel? Keep in mind it could be any kind of metal, because sing Core is that incredibly versatile.

Any metal can be made into a Sing Metal panel that is Eco-friendly, lightweight and high strength.

Coast to Coast these warp-free wood exterior doors are not just beautiful in their appearance but are the highest precision insulated lightweight, high strength doors in the world, and they’re proudly made in the USA.

Even the most expensive high-end large door cannot be warranted not to fail if it is over 10 ft tall and/or 4 ft wide. The most exclusive millworks and custom door manufacturers will agree to make the door to architectural door specifications, but will offer no warranty, because, they say

All Doors Warp

The most savvy door manufacturers refer to SingCore to help build the doors using Premium Sing Door Blanks available in any size for any type of door, if the client demands having the best door in the world.

Large Warp Free Wood Exterior Doors

SingCore has solved the problems associated with large exterior door fails, by providing millworks and door manufacturers with the most high precision (+/- .006 in) insulated warp free lightweight high strength door core, that can be made in any size and all doors styles.

Large bifold doors exterior warp free wood doors hinged carriage doors insulated

16 ft x 8 ft door opening featuring (4) 4 ft x 8 ft bifold doors as carriage door

For instance, these carriage doors are bifold doors that feature all the characteristics of having SingCore inside. The best proof is large wood exterior doors facing both Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as we work with the best door companies from coast to coast in the USA. In this example, the exterior wood doors in this home are all perfectly straight on these weatherproof non-warping doors, even though they feature wood stave on the exteriors exposed to the moisture, sun, wind and rain of coastal weather patterns. Still these doors can be fully guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including structure) for a full 50 years. That’s right

Guaranteed for 50 Years

Make a Whole Wall Disappear

Then there’s this case; What if you wanted the whole exterior wall to be a door. Here’s a job where the client wanted to whole exterior wall converted to bifold doors. No problem, if they have Sing Core inside.

Just an ordinary exterior wall. Right?

Extraordinary exterior bi fold doors!

Plus, if your invisible door has Sing Core inside, you get the added safety and security of having a fully insulated sound deadening folding retractable wall which is also highly effective in maintaining consistent temperature control on either side of the building, inside or outside.

Large 14 ft x 12 ft exterior opening with (2) 14 ft x 6 ft insulated hinged doors

Large garage doors are the best example of what can be possible with would have previously been thought of as impossible doors. That is to say doors that were too large were assumed to have problems because all big doors fail. Even so, to minimize failure, they are manufactured using very heavy materials and expensive hardware to mitigate the failing doors, only to add more stress and strain on the existing structure. In this regard, the big door business is lucrative, due to the ongoing maintenance contracts associated with large door problems.

Insulated Doors

True space separation between two adjoining areas (i.e., interior and exterior) is a difficult expectation for any door. Even though a door might looks attractive from a distance, the truth of the matter is seen from the other side of the door. The built-in insulation inside the patented Sing door core not only provides effective climate control, but offers advanced sound deadening qualities. Sing door cores have been used inside soundproof doors and everything from bulletproof doors and fireproof doors.

Save Energy

Why waste energy by having a door that doesn’t seal properly as your exterior door? Everyone knows that a good door seal helps prevent energy loss saving on energy consumption. Having warp-free doors means your doors seal properly without leaking every time, regardless of the season, temperature or time of day. You can save energy – not only from the insulated that is packed inside for better temperature control – but also from having a secure door seal that does not fail due to warping, if your door has SingCore inside.

Sliding Door or Pivot Door

Reduced to its simplest form, these insulated warp-free doors could also be exterior sliding doors and/or exterior pivot doors with all the same great characteristics that come with having SingCore inside.

Click to see: Sliding Doors and/or Pivot Doors

Inside Or Outside

Only SingCore can accomplish all this – and more – providing you with the strongest, lightweight, insulated door core that can be guaranteed not to fail for a full 50 years , including warp-free and structure guarantee. No other door company can guarantee their doors, like that, unless they have SingCore inside.

If doors with SingCore inside can obtain such high performance standards as exterior doors, imagine having doors to match throughout your entire house, because our patented door core also makes the best interior doors for your home’s inside points of egress. If we can guarantee your exterior door for 50 years, we could guarantee your inside doors for 100 years.

Why not have the best?

Specify, “SingCore inside,” for all your doors.

FAQ

FAQ

What Are Sing Panels?

In the aircraft industry, they call it honeycomb. In the woodworking industry, it is called a torsion box. In the home industry, it is known as a sandwich panel. No matter what you call it, Sing Core’s honeycomb panels have the strongest, most lightweight earth friendly core to structure your Sing Core panels. Sing Core panels has more applications than any known material; use it for home construction, boat building, private jet furniture, home furniture, museum and trade show display, and doors. Patented Sing Core panels are a hybrid of torsion box, sandwich, and honeycomb panel. It has the flatness of a torsion box, the strength of a honeycomb panel, and the light weight of a sandwich panel. Sing Core panels combine all of these characteristics to form the most earth friendly panel in the industry.

How Do I Order Sing Panels?

If you are an architect, wholesale supplier, millwork, or other trade professional, submit a price quote from our pricing page.

Dear Homeowner/DIY’er, unfortunately we do not sell to individuals, only to the building trades and commercial/wholesale companies. Please contact your local millwork and request that they order your panels for you. We will then work with them to utilize Sing Core for your project.

How to Handle and Deal with Sing Products

Our best long-standing clients know how to best handle and deal with Sing Core products due to their high level of expertise. We welcome new clients to enjoy the benefits of patented Sing Core products. If you are a potential new user of Sing Core you are advised to make yourself aware of how to handle and deal with Sing Core products before ordering any patented Sing product(s).

Can I Get a Discount?

You may be able to get a special discount in exchange for professional photographs of your project. You can ask at the time you place your order, if you might like to participate in our photo marketing agreement. You will pay the price on your invoice and receive a check from Sing Core as a rebate in the amount noted on your invoice following the receipt and approval of your photos.

Photo Marketing Rebate?

Your job may qualify for our marketing rebate entitling you to a percentage of your order or agreed upon amount for providing Sing Core with acceptable drawings, pictures, videos, and reviews of your special project demonstrating the positive attributes of Sing Core in the field. To be entitled to your marketing rebate, you must request it and have your request approved prior to placing your order with Sing Core.

How do I fasten to your panels?

Our panels have a solid wood frame and block inserts can be implanted inside the panel to create secure anchoring points. Anchoring points can be used for placing hardware, overlays, and even fastening the panel.
Stiffeners can be implanted to ensure a true-flat panel. The necessity for stiffeners depends on the overall size of the panel, application, and weight.
For more information, see our custom blocking page.

What glue do you use?

Our panels are bonded with an extremely strong and waterproof adhesive. Our adhesive is 100% formaldehyde free.

What are your skin options?

Skin choice is one of the biggest factors to avoid warping.
It is important to choose a skin that is non-permeable. Permeable skins allow moisture to be trapped in the skin material causing it to swell. This can cause structural issues over time.
Wooden doors have the most problems with moisture absorption.
It is important to specify exterior grade when needed for your application.
Skin choice can affect sound deadening capabilities and is important for adhering to a certain Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating.
Multiple layers of skin can be applied to a panel. This allows the panel to have the strength of plywood as well as the smoothness of MDF. Layering skins can also be used to aid in producing fire-resistant panels to comply with certain fire code regulations.

Can I have dissimilar skins on my panel?

Dissimilar skins may be possible depending on your panel’s thickness. Please discuss this with your sales representative for more information.

Do I need to calibrate my panels before veneering?

Yes.

How do you handle such large doors?

Oversized panels are panels with dimensions over 4’ x 8’.
Oversize panels are often more difficult to handle and more costly to ship.
Luckily, we have devised a method to overcome this. The Sing Spline allows us to ship oversized panels in modular sections that can be joined at the work site. See Sing Spline for more information.
Almost any door can be made with Sing Core. Stile and rail style doors can be made by simply adding trim or molding pieces; however it will be much stronger than a traditional stile and rail door.

What is True Flat?

All Sing Core products are guaranteed true flat; that is to say that they far exceed AWI industry standards or ¼ inch deflection to be considered flat. Specific degrees of flatness can be achieved and guaranteed based on your requirements, specifications and application. See What is True Flat? for more information.

What edging options does Sing Core provide?

Sing Panels can feature a 1.25 inch solid wood edging. Other sizes are available as custom options as well. Edge-banding is available at an extra charge. Sing Core panels can also be purchased without an edge.

Why Do Sing Core panels have such a long lifespan?

Patented Sing Core panels use zero formaldehyde structural glue to bond Sing Core and the surface material creating the strongest lightweight eco-friendly sandwich panel/honeycomb panel, see comparison. The patented Sing Core panel is nearly unbreakable due to being so lightweight and strong. Even if damaged by rough handling, Sing Core panels can be repaired to their original strength (Our patented structural core and stress skins are much easier to repair than solid wood, MDF or plywood).

Why is my Initial Price Quote different from my Final Price Quote?

As a courtesy, Sing Core provides an introductory initial price quote in response to your initial request as an introduction to your salesperson, who will help to work out the details of your order. This is somewhat automated and is only based on information which is entered into the fields in the your price quote request and is not binding in any way. In most cases, this is very similar to the Formal Price Quote that you will receive from your salesperson. In some cases, depending on the project, the intricacies of the final door build are very different and not included in the initial price quote. In other cases, if the initial price quote is over budget, the door blank(s) can be re-engineered to accommodate a tight budget. Talk to your Sing Core sales person to work out the details.

What is the weight of your panels?

The weight of our panels are based on many factors, W x H x T, the types and thickness of the skins chosen and of course the solid wood edging as well. But for a rough ballpark estimate the weight of one of our standard panels 4’ x 8’ x 1” (finished size = 47” x 95” x1”) is somewhere in the 25 to 30 lbs range depending on the skin, which is much lighter than standard plywood of the same size/thickness.

What’s the difference between Standard and Professional Sing Core panels?

Standard panels provide more than enough structural integrity and non-warping properties for most jobs, but for jobs that require true flatness, we also offer a Professional tier of Sing Core Panels. Professional panels come with a 50 year non-warp guarantee that feature our aluminum stiffener technology. Learn more about Sing Core Professional Panels here.

Can you nail into a Sing Core panel?

Yes. We recommend a ⅜ inch skin such as MDO or luan if you plan doing a good amount of screwing or nailing into your panel. You can also nail into a Sing Core panel with a ⅛ inch skin as required.

Our craftsmen can also install custom blocking for your projects at an additional cost. Please provide drawings so we can ensure a precise panel.

We can place custom blocking in your panels as required by your drawings.
Install a solid wood strip every 12 inches (or whatever your needs are).

How much wood do I need around the perimeter of a door panel?

The standard wood trim inside the perimeter of a Sing door panel is 1.25 inches. Old school technology would have you thinking that you might require a heftier wood frame inside. While that might be true for a hollow core, paper core, or other type of core door, it is unnecessary when using Sing door core as substrate. Sing Core is a composite solid core material which is stronger than steel pound for pound, and is often used for attaching hardware without the use of implants.

Even so, we do offer solid wood implants, like lock blocks, or any other location to accommodate your hardware specifications.

What are the lead times for new orders?

Lead time for new orders is 6-10 weeks. Every order Sing Core manufactures is custom made, so please keep that in mind in regards to your project’s timelines.

If you require a rush order, rush fees are as follows:

Ship in 4 weeks – 20% price increase
Ship in 3 weeks – 40% price increase
Ship in 2 weeks – 70% price increase
Ship in 1 Week – 100% price increase

Rush fee times are counted beginning the day you approve the shop drawings for your project.

Exactly how strong are your panels?

The strength of our panels depends on factors like span, thickness, and skin type. They have been independently tested by the University of Washington to exceed 660 PSI, and can be custom designed to achieve over 1,000 PSI per your specifications.

How well insulated are Sing Core panels?

The R-Value of a Sing Core sandwich core using EPS Foam is 3.5 per inch. For technical specifications on our EPS foam, please visit this page. The R-value of a Sing Core sandwich core using Urethane Foam is 6.5 per inch.

How big can you make Sing Core panels?

A standard sized panel is 4 ft. x 8 ft. We also specialize in custom sizes, which are available in any dimensions, up to 22 ft. by 40 ft. or larger.

Can you join together Sing Core panels?

Yes. One way to join Sing Core panels is with a biscuit. View this video to see how to join panels, or visit this page.

Can I bond other materials to the surface of Sing Core panels?

Yes. Many of our high-end millworks adhere other surface materials to a Sing Sandwich when used as substrate. Standard lightweight plywood surfaces are easily adhered to with regular carpenter glue and cold-pressed. If your intention is to laminate other materials to your Sing Core sandwich core, you should check with us first, to make sure that you are using the proper bonding agents) to achieve the results you desire.

Are your lightweight panels weather resistant?

Our panels are resistant to the degree of its surface material and/or its coating. Sing Core panels can be manufactured to withstand the most extreme weather conditions, and are even used in underwater applications.

Where do you distribute?

We distribute to anywhere in the world, and have delivered panels to Europe and Asia.

Do you do any licensing of your patented products?

We’d be happy to discuss licensing and partnerships. Please get in touch with us via our contact page.

What types of material can I laminate to honeycomb?

Any substrate (skin) that is capable of carrying a load.

What is a torsion box?
A torsion box is best explained by this article.

( http://woodworking.com/ww/Article/What_is_a_Torsion_Box_8816.aspx )

What is a “board foot”?

12″ x 12″ x 1″ = 1 Board Foot

12″ x 12″ x ½” = ½ Board Foot

12″ x 12″ x 2″ = 2 Board Foot

How much pressure do I use to apply skins myself?

Enough for intimate contact with our honeycomb core with or without solid wood edging but too much pressure can cause damage to the core. We recommend 660 PSI or less.

How can I build with my structural core and panels?

A: The different options of our Sing Core Structural Core and Sing Core Panels allows you to decide how you want to work with our patented core material. You can choose how much or little work you want to apply to the core*. (*when applying skins you will need to use a cold-press method unless you ordered hot-press ready panels)

Purchase just the core, you would then apply the skins on both sides and solid wood edging* (*place edging before apply top skin) or

Purchase core with skins* (*birch or luan) and apply the edge-banding or yourself or hire someone to do it or

Purchase the core as an all in one component* (core, skins (birch or luan) & solid wood edging)and receive your panels complete, just paint/seal and finish as you desire and install

What does paint grade not paint ready mean?

We deliver your panels as paint grade as opposed to paint ready, due to several instances where our definition of paint ready did NOT meet our customer’s definition of paint ready. Because of these issues, we now leave it up to the customer to get their panels to their preferred finished state.

What if I want 1/4″ MDF?

Instead of 1/4 inch MDF, we use our own plywood-backed MDF which is made by laminating 1/8″ plywood to a 1/8″ sheet of MDF. This still gives you the smooth MDF face to paint, hot press to, or apply other materials, like vinyl wrap(s). You get the same smooth surface with added high performance because MDF is prone to movement. If you have to have 1/4 inch MDF, we will make your panel to your specifications, but we may have to re-engineer the rest of the panel to assure high performance.

What surface materials are available for a Sing Core sandwich core?

Our standard surface material is Luan (lightweight plywood).

What are the fire retardant qualities of our product?
Foam: level 2, Panel: untested

How do you ship?

LTL Freight Company – common carrier

Arrange for pickup by your preferred carrier

Customer pick up from our facility here in McCleary, Washington

How do I seal the interlock?
It can be sealed with conventional caulking or waterproofing.

Isn’t Luan difficult to work with?

Our Luan is in the form of veneer, so the natural fragility of the wood isn’t a factor.

How do you fasten panels?

Fasten your panels with dowel, bolts, biscuit, camlock (rotorlock), or edge to edge glue. Visit our Fastening Page for details.

What wood species are Sing Core products available in?

We build to architectural specifications. So, whatever wood species is specified, we use that, if it is available. If it is unavailable, we contact the client to see if they are working with a wood shop/millwork who has the wood, and they can supply it to us. If the wood is not available via any known sources, then an alternative might be considered. The finisher, on the client’s end, should be able to match (or nearly match) the finish of existing wood on the project using a different species.

This is common with the doors we build because sometimes we are limited to length of species specified, and for large doors exceeding the length of given species, this can be a problem.

What kind of wood do you use for solid wood edging?

We use soft wood because it’s easy to control the moisture content and to fasten. Soft wood also weighs less than solid hardwood.

What if you use a basic interior door as an exterior door?

It’ll bend because moisture will get inside the door and press outward on the skin. We don’t guarantee for weather exposure because we don’t control how you treat the surface. If treated properly with urethane, your doors can withstand the weather.

Will Sing Core’s spline joints crack?

Because of the stability of the patented Sing Core, spline joints in sectional Sing panels/doors will not crack, unlike traditional solid wood which is not stable enough to be used in this application.

Only Warp-free Large Door Guaranteed

“I love these doors.” *

This photo depicts the installation of some of our latest warp-free large sliding doors. These Eco-friendly lightweight, high-strength professional Sing large sliding doors are 12 ft. tall, 68 inches wide and only 1.5 inches thick, and guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or structurally fail for a full 50 years. When we say lightweight and high-strength, we mean it. For example, these Birch (1/4″ facings) large sliding doors weigh in at 150 lbs. per architectural specifications of Carol A. Wilson FAIA.

* = Linda Rice of Kercor Construction

The Only Warp-free Large Door Guaranteed

Large doors used in high end construction, luxury homes and mansions cost between $10,000 and $50,000 and all of them either are guaranteed to warp or guaranteed not to warp for (at the most) one year… except for one.

Our #1 job is to serve the door companies who make the best doors, so they can deliver warp-free doors to their most discriminating clientele.

$20,000 Door + 1 year = Warped Door

When a customer requests and the architect specifies a large door, especially a large sliding door or large pivot door, most door manufacturers will be reluctant to build it. If they do build it, they are not likely to offer a warranty for warping or structure failure because, unfortunately, large doors will warp.

Some offer a one year warranty and charge an extremely high professional for the large door, because they know it is likely that the door will warp. They install the door and pray… after one year has passed (either with or without service calls to straighten the door due to seasonal changes), they wipe the sweat from their forehead, then the burden for maintenance of the large door fall on the customer.

Large doors present a high degree of challenges because large doors (over 7 ft. tall) will warp.

The Only Warp-free Doors

Guaranteed for 50 Years

Every door manufacturer who has sought out Sing Core as their large door solution knows there is no other way to make a hassle-free non-warping large door.
In fact, Sing Core door substrates are the only composite door core material that can be guaranteed not only to be warp-free but also maintain full structural integrity for a full 50 years.

High-end Door Manufacturer’s Secret Ingredient

Sing Core works with high end door manufacturers and millworks specializing in the most exotic oversized (therefore problematic) doors.

“When the door manufacturer calls us, they know, we know, everyone knows that custom large doors will warp. We help them solve the problem so they can deliver a product that will not fail to their clients who desire only the best doors without fear of warping.”

If you’re seeking out a high-end door that does not warp, ask your door manufacture to build your door with Sing Core Inside.

Infinite Structure

Patented Sing Core infinite torsion box 2x2 structure grids insulation

Infinite 2×2 in. grids filled with rigid foam

Sing Core’s internal vertical grain torsion box structure is reduced to form 2 inch x 2 inch grids and the torsion box voids (empty spaces) are not left empty; they are filled wall-to-wall with rigid foam insulation to add shear strength and form a high precision (.006 in. tolerance) solid composite substrate. The grids run infinitely in all directions throughout the door core resulting in a warp-free, lightweight (a fraction the weight of other heavier materials), high strength (660 PSI) that is pre-insulated (R3.5-R5.5).

Is There Any Other Way to Make a Warp-free Door?

Yes. There are many ways to make a steel door that does not warp. These large steel doors are extremely heavy (thousands of pounds). To address the issue of weight, lighter weight steel doors are made by using a steel frame (with internal steel pipe substructure) welded to thick steel exterior to make the steel door lighter than a solid steel door.

Even so, not only is the resulting door still extremely heavy, it is hollow in between the inner steel structure. This space between the inner steel framing is left open, i.e., hollow. There could be 8 to 12 inches between steel bars (or other type steel interior frame) of nothing, only hollow space.

Normally, steel doors – while they may not be a problem for warping – are less high precision due to all the interior welding necessary to manufacture the steel door. To increase the steel door’s precision, the door can be made slightly oversize and machined to straighten the surface area imperfections.

Sing Steel Doors

On the other hand, steel doors made with solid Sing Core door substrate are Eco-friendly, lightweight, high strength and high precision (Sing Core is +/- .006) as well as fully insulated for temperature/climate control and sound deadening qualities. See: Steel Doors

New Large Door Technology

Eco-friendly Sing Core technology is changing the landscape of all large door manufacturing. Sing door core substrate can be used to manufacture any type or style of door in any size (up to 50 ft.) with any exterior material, including wood doors made of any available natural wood species, aluminum doors, ceramic doors, concrete doors, fiberglass doors, glass doors, HPL doors, Kevlar doors, Masonite doors, plastic doors, steel doors (cold rolled steel doors, galvanized steel doors, hot rolled steel doors, etc…), just to name a few…

Lightweight Strong 3/4 inch MDF Torsion Box Cabinetry Panels

Patented Sing Core is bringing the latest development in lightweight and high strength technology to visit the cabinet industry. Imagine being able to use a lightweight building material that is commensurate with high-tech aerospace technology at 20 percent of the price.

This new cabinetry alternative to MDF 4×8 sheets delivers many times the strength of solid MDF at a fraction of the weight with no headaches. Sing MDF cabinetry panels come in 4×8 and 5×12 sizes in convenient 3/4 inch thickness.

How are 3/4 inch Sing cabinetry panels made?

Start with patented Sing torsion box (2×3 inch grid size) where the voids are filled with recycled rigid foam insulation wall to wall with and sandwich it all between two sheets of 1/8 inch MDF and bond it altogether with formaldehyde-free adhesives for an Eco-friendly lightweight high strength composite MDF panels that out performs any other lightweight building material in terms of strength, weight and longevity.

Compare to other lightweight panel material

Compared to any other lightweight panel building material, like honeycomb panels made of paper honeycomb, aluminum honeycomb, cardboard, or even high-tech aerospace panels (costing five times as much per sheet) Sing 3/4 inch cabinetry panels are a bargain at twice the price.

Secret Ingredient Inside

The secret ingredient inside the Sing 3/4 inch cabinetry panels is the torsion box composite core that is the same product used by the US Navy and other high tech industrial applications where strength and weight are both considerations. This is the same technology used to build large doors – of any size or style – that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for a full 50- years.

Imagine having this material inside your cabinetry and/or furniture… Say, “goodbye,” to disposable furniture and heavy cabinetry which are highly desirable qualities sought in aircraft, marine and recreational vehicle platforms for both less weight and less maintenance over time.

Lightweight high performance cabinetmaking material

Lightweight Sing Bookcases

Even though plywood and particleboard are fairly standard fare in cabinet shops around the world, certain high end cabinet makers are seeking to embrace this new technology which is the perfect combination of old (torsion box) and new (composite) fine woodworking craftsmanship. Plus (as you undoubtedly already know) both plywood and particle board are heavy and prone to warp and rot; unlike Sing 3/4 inch torsion box cabinetry panels.

Structural integrity

The structural integrity of these hybrid cabinetry panels surpasses anything know in the affordable lightweight composite material and is increasingly finding its place amongst the transportation and general construction categories as an impressive upgrade alternative to plywood or other materials.

Built-in insulation

Sing composite cabinetry panels feature built in insulation (the rigid foam insulation filling the torsion box voids) that is a unique added feature whether you are building cabinets and/or other furniture.

Easy to work with

Standard woodworking tools are all that is required to take full advantage of Sing cabinetry panels, treat them just like you would any standard 4×8 piece of 3/4 inch panel.
Sing cabinetry panels are revolutionizing the industry as they are increasingly being found as a standard commodity in cabinet shops, millworks and furniture manufacturers throughout the United States and the world.

Edges

Sing cabinetry panels have unfinished (exposed, i.e. you can see the core) edges. This is easily remedied by adding edge trim, or closing the edge by any method desired. Also, the core material can easily be routered to accommodate insertion of wood implants where desired or necessary.

Simply CNC router out Sing Cabinetry Panels to insert any desired material.

Save Energy in Taiwan and the World

House within a house to save energy

It’s about time to take action and save drastic amounts of wasteful energy consumption in Taiwan. Inventor Peter Sing was born there, and desires to offer his energy saving knowledge and technology to help Taiwanese to consume less energy without having to restart the nuclear power plant.

How to Save Energy at Home and at the Office

Easy, simply use insulated interlocking patented Sing Panels to assemble a small insulated climate controlled space, like the house within a house (photo at right). No need to heat or cool such a large space when only a limited amount of space is actually occupied, saving 80% in energy consumption.

Savings vs. Penalty Incentive

To encourage participation in this energy saving program, new government incentives could be initiated. For instance, if you can save 50% of your previous energy consumption you would pay less per Kilowatt hour. If you can save 75% of your previous energy consumption you could pay less or even get your energy free of charge. If there is no change, or if you consume even more, you would pay an inflated amount per Kilowatt hour.

In this day and age, the energy consumption of available resources creates an ever increasing demand. To accommodate the requirements of individuals seeking to power basic creature comforts including heating when cold and cooling when hot presents two distinct problems.

Advantages of Sing Zoned Space

1 Lightweight. So lightweight, easy to move, assemble/disassemble for housewife or youth.

2 Easy to build. Simply use cam-lock-style modular panel connector.

3 Easy to pack and store. Entire house within a house easily dismounts and flat packs.

4 Affordable. Low initial cost, reusable and reconfigurable structure build to last (government could reimburse some of the cost).

5 New Energy Saving Initiative incentivized by the government.

On one hand, the wealthy are not considerate of their energy consumption, so on hot days they can keep their entire large home maintained at 60 F degrees inside. This creates a drain on the energy supply, but the homeowner with a higher standard of living is not concerned with the cost of the average of 15 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity.

On the other hand, individuals with moderate or low income have other issues. Certainly everyone should be able to maintain a certain level of comfort when it is hot or cold outside, but the cost of electricity is a real concern for the less fortunate energy consumers; they may only be able to enjoy an inside temperature of 75 degrees when it is 90-100 degrees outside, and they may only be able to maintain cooling in one room or area within their home.

In fact, in the impoverished senior population, death from heat stroke – from not being able to afford adequate cooling for temperature control within their living environment – is a real concern in America. That is why it is important to have a variety of energy conservation techniques to fall back on in case of either an energy supply shortage, or in an effort to reduce energy consumption or deal with the rising cost of electricity.

How to Save Electricity

Take turns at attempting to create new alternatives for addressing the heating and cooling drain on our energy systems as well as alternative approaches and other ways to save energy as we move throughout the various seasons of the year.

One Energy conservation expert Pro. Charlie Brown had been pioneer of energy saving, He design his own home with Sing panel approach on how to save electricity in remodeling his own home that sets a good example for responsible heating and cooling control. Architect Professor G. Z. (Charlie) Brown has reconfigured his home to command complete control of the temperature maintenance of each individual zone within his home.

sliding panels room dividers insulated non warping

A home owner can divide his home into independent zones, each with its own independent heating and/or cooling apparatuses (standard portable heating and cooling devices (portable air conditioners) are readily available via big box and hardware stores) for greater temperature control with insulated temporary walls (with man doors for egress).

When Brown sought to cordon off specific portions of his home to maintain separate zones, he chose to seek out the Sing Sandwich panel to create a series of insulated sliding walls to maintain separation and climate control within his own home. Unique properties of the patented Sing Sandwich includes an ergonomic natural wood vertical grain torsion box matrix where the voids are filled wall to wall with rigid foam insulation creating an insulated substrate that is strong and lightweight.

How to save electricity insulated Sing Sandwich rigid foam insulation torsion box core wall panels

Sing Sandwich Insulated Walls

There is another approach – using the very same material that is readily available via your local Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse Pro Desk – that does not require a high level of architectural expertise and is a simple DIY approach for the average do-it-yourselfer.

Insulated Sing Sandwich temporary wall panels are available in 8 ft tall, 4 ft wide and inch-and-a-half thickness. By simply standing up these wall panels end to end, anyone could cordon off a separate living area within a larger vacant area for maintaining better climate control. The walls have an R value of R5.25 while being lightweight and stronger than steel (660 PSI) making the Sing Sandwich panel the perfect affordable solution for creating a manageable space separation.

For instance, one value and ecologically-minded individual with a master bedroom size of 26.6 x 17.6 in a home with central heating (controlled by a single thermostat) was able to reduce their winter heating costs by $220 per month by simply creating a separate insulated room within the larger master bedroom to manage the heating costs in the colder seasonal months.

The free-standing 9 x 10 room-within-a-room concept is empowering people to enjoy saving energy (and making their heating and cooling expenses more affordable).

House Within a House

In Brooklyn, New York a couple of artists have built a pair of tiny houses inside their open loft area. They rent them for $2310 per month each. They have the advantage of being in an excellent location within the heart of Brooklyn within walking distance of just about everything and a scenic view of the Manhattan skyline.

In fact, the New York area is the primary location of people seeking out ways to divide living spaces (this loft area is an excellent example) by using insulated Sing Sandwich panels to create separate rooms not just for energy savings but to make separate private living areas for roommates who share a common area.

Currently a trend throughout the greater New York area, it is expected that the Sing insulated, lightweight-high-strength room divider solution will continue to spread across the United States and into other countries, where space and energy are at a premium.

As energy gets more expensive and as income medians continue to plummet, insulated Sing Sandwich temporary wall panels used as room dividers continue to be one of the best ways to conserve energy and help mitigate the damages facing people trying to maintain a safe and secure quality of life on a budget.

Viva Zone Control!

For Government Consideration

It’s time for a change of lifestyle by public and school education

The U.S. Department of Energy should function as the leader in the world to change the culture-of-lifestyle approach toward energy consumption. Instead of recklessly chasing the American Dream – i.e., more highways, cars and trucks instead of more responsible railways and public transportation, and living in a 3000 sq. ft. average sized home – we all could do this together and it would be great if the DOE could help us all create and maintain a better world.

Center for Architecture & Design – Seattle, Washington

In an effort to reach out the greater worldwide community from its headquarters in Seattle, SingCore has partnered with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Seattle in the design and building of the new 4,500-square-foot Center for Architecture and Design in the National Building located at 1010 Western Avenue in Seattle, Washington.

SingCore is offering matching funds and donations to local AIA chapters to specify patented Sing products in the designs of their local center for architecture.

As a Platinum supporter, we’re excited to be providing CFAD Seattle and AIA Seattle with donations to raise the bar for architecture and design using patented Sing products for doors, walls and furniture for their center for architecture. We are currently in the process of similarly supporting the Austin Center for Architecture in Austin, Texas.

12′ x 10′ x 5″ Custom Pivot Doors

Four 12 ft. x 10 ft. x 5 inch SingCore panels were designed for CFAD Seattle as a jumbo pivot door that splits a conference room into two halfs. Each panel weighs about 500 pounds, which allows the door to move easily as shown below. Each door was installed in less than a half an hour.

FAIA Mr. Peterson is a senior architect for Suyama Peterson Deguchi (SPD) responsible for providing the solutions to build the multi-function 4800 sq. ft. space by creating a gallery that could be converted to a conference room within minutes to hold secure meetings within the center itself. It needs a special pivot door when it open it is a large gallery, when those 4 doors closed it become a conference room. All the furniture, work tables, islands and counter tops are quickly and easily assembled on site

About the large pivot door: Mr. Ric was able to accomplish the door solution by teaming up with inventor, Peter Sing, whose lightweight, high strength building material made it all possible without the use of heavy equipment, lifts and cranes. After being invited to join the project, Sing offered to supply not only the doors but almost the rest of all the office furniture, partitions and even part of the dining table/work table and cabinets in the lunge and office areas – all made of patented Sing panels, same core materials to build those 4 large pivot doors.

: Completed Big Pivot Fire Doors

Green building materials are the focus point of every architecture design now-a-days. As the home of the architect and design community for State of Washington, which is the leader in high tech and advanced materials playground for searching the planet for green, earth-friendly products is essential for this new home for all designers and architects.

In the temple of Seattle’s Center for Architecture & Design, the evergreen state sets the standard for promoting the highest standards of preserving our green earth among the Pacific Northwest architectural community while seeking out new ways to approach a more sustainable approach with building products that save energy and add longevity to the overall life of projects around our local communities and the world.

The idea of a local design center is not new, but the Seattle design center is the leading edge of this new technological approach to new office designs; bringing to life the idea of a multi-functional design combining office space, media, meeting and a gallery to promote green design permeating all areas of life and our society.

It all starts with the composer / architect of the project; with Ric Peterson’s design of Suyama Peterson Deguchi, while leading the team of the designer of the total project which includes a varied line up of suppliers, general manufacturers and fabricators to tackle the most challenging job to represent the state’s finest architects and designers. When all is said and done, the resulting space in this center represents the new philosophy and concept of engineering for a better world within the office space that has superior functionality as it is easy to maintain and built with the longest lasting building materials.

The symphony’s composer is Ric Peterson, FAIA of Suyama Peterson Deguchi was charged with the challenge of creating a design center work of art. The score is conducted by general contractor / conductor of the symphony, Krekow Jennings supervising all components while acquiring and arranging the performers (trade professionals such as sub contractors) participating in the creation of the newest chapter in executing the design by using green building materials made locally, produced with less energy and waste used throughout this project. The resulting masterpiece is a modern office, meeting room and gallery in a picturesque downtown location as a perfect showcase for professional trades and an inviting exposure to the general public. The whole job will not happen if without all the support from the donor of their trade skill to help such as painters did all the paint work for the furniture, and Schuchart/Dow craftsmen did all the assembly which basically started from patented Sing Panels, all in flat-pack which is easy and takes up less space for shipping to the job site avoiding damage during transport, and the end result is a new chapter of this ornate symphony of building art; simple, functional and elegant.

These unique large extreme edge pivot doors were manufactured in Washington state using patented Sing Core as the embedded structural core material. those door had added two more layers of material on the job site to create sound deadening and fire retardant features, Even with his lightweight, high strength core material, the wall feels as though it is made of solid stone, when you knock on it. Two of the doors feature a built in man door for simple access when the area is secured as a conference room. Four doors are easily 12 ft. x 10 ft. 2,000 pound pivot doors by the time completed provide the conversion from gallery to conference room quickly and easily.

About the furnishings, desks, tables and partition walls: Office area are also with totally new design approach with new leading edge patented lightweight , high strength eco friendly Sing panels. all those office furniture are assembly on the site by use patented Sing panels all flat pack after paint by painters and hand carry to the designer center, some shelf / table top and partition wall are over 12 ft. in length. Each of the panels are designed to be able to be carried by one person.

The features of the office and lounge areas are simple but elegant in the functional execution of the artist’s design concept. All the furniture features adjustable legs to maintain work surfaces at high precision instrument grade levels. Up to 8 foot clear span work areas are neat and clean while keeping all power and other cords neatly hidden from view by an embedded wire management channel system that is an effective design component within the work areas. Single piece partitions that span up to 12 feet provide privacy and security while standing flawlessly amidst the efficiently accurate space.

Not resorting to raised level work areas provides an effective approach to cleaning and maintenance of the floor space that is both easy and saves time. all the wiring are hidden within the desk top and shelf channels, instead build raise floor as most commercial office space which takes more space and more assembly time and lose more precious space.

Completing the symphonic work, Sing and his patented product “Sing Core” is joining the team of suppliers that is bringing the dream of Seattle’s design symphony to life.

Hearing about this project might cause you to wonder how an entire facility of this magnitude could be quickly and easily assembled out of multiple integrated modular panels. This is the first time such a grandiose project has been built completely of lightweight high strength panels that are not only sound deadening but are resistant to warp, bend or twist, even while covering long spans and featuring natural wood surfaces.

Thanks to Sing’s lightweight material, it took less than 2 hours to unload and install those huge pivot doors (weighing-in at only 500 lbs.) and three craftsmen assembled and installed all the office and lounge components and furniture. Sing Core it the new Eco-friendly building material that has helped to create the strongest most lightweight office furniture ever invented in the world, creating endless possibilities to provide architects, engineers and designers the ability to provide sustainable long-life office furniture and so much more…

The advantage Sing office furniture which furnish almost the entire design center space

1 Easy to clean floors (less table legs shelf supports to interrupt the cleaning process).
2 Easy wiring management (all wires are hidden in the channel between the partition wall and desk top).
3 Some areas designed with clear span of 10 ft. plus (the shelf top and the table top are at same level) providing more working surface and elegant work space.
4 Partition walls are made of a single piece large panel (without joining to separate entire work station, offers more privacy yet simple, elegant and functional).
5 Easy to assemble on the job site (entire office lounge area constructed of Sing Panels (each piece of furniture is flat packed and installed by Schuchart/Dow).

The advantage of pivot door / partition wall

1 Change the conference room to gallery within minutes.
2 Fire proof and sound deadening patented Sing pivoted door.
3 Man door on both sides of the entrance for easy access.
4 The lightweight and strength of Sing pivot doors enabled designers to add 1,500 lbs. of additional material without compromise.

Seattle architects are renowned for their commitment to green building, energy efficiency and innovation. In the next few days, the new Center for Architecture & Design in Seattle will be featuring the newest revolution in green building products in their facility further promoting environmental awareness throughout the Pacific Northwest and the world.

Patented Sing Core^® is delivering 4 large pivot doors, all the office furniture, furnishing the lounge and lunchroom which covers most of the space in the design center.

Example: Sing Core is providing a door panel for a large pivot door measuring 12 ft. x 10 ft. x 3.5 inches thick that weighs a mere 500 lbs. plus the added benefits that come along with using the most Eco-friendly non-warping material ever invented.
