Not strangers to supporting the greater artists’ community with lightweight, high strength Sing Panels for use as art canvases of a rather large size, Sing Core was called upon by the designers of the Rumney Guggenheim Gallery in Brooklyn, New York to overcome some of the challenges due to weight and size ratios throughout the renovation of the former Williamsburg Bank building located at 834 Driggs Avenue.
The race was on for Santiago Rumney Guggenheim (great-grandson of legendary arts patron Peggy Guggenheim) to rehab the former bank building built in 1875, transforming it into a luxurious gallery to showcase exclusive works of art in Brooklyn by the October 8, 2015 opening night debut.
Sing Core was honored to solve the architectural problems associated with size vs. weight and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
Amongst the art that was introduced on opening night, we were quite impressed with The Little House exhibit by Moral Turgeman, a 20 x 24 piece of work that takes our tiny house concept to a whole new level, leaving art enthusiasts breathless at the mirrored surfaces and offering a unique experience for attendees to explore Turgeman’s visionary interpretation from the inside out.
Inventor Peter Sing is a fan of neon lights; and it was an honor to see Olivia Steele’s neon art in full regalia on Rumney Guggenheim’s menu opening night. As a matter of fact once piece by Olivia Steele was nearly a tribute to Sing’s Sing Core entitiled, “Heart Core.”
Transforming the Space
To make Guggenheim’s dream of having an elegant place to bring works of art to New York, he had to re-create the wide open pallet of the bank building into an almost liquid piece of art itself.
The answer to having space that could change shape and form on-demand included Sing’s lightweight Museum Panels that can be moved, connected and slide-mounted. Using Sing’s cam-lock assembly method, panels can be linked together to make any size wall, and due to the light weight and high strength, an enormous space, like Guggenheim’s gallery, can be completely designed and redesigned on-the-fly with very little labor involved.
Every Sing Museum Panel in the Guggenheim Gallery served up art on its walls like a silver platter.
Showcasing the art on inventor Peter Sing’s works of art was the perfect solution for architect Rita Eng AIA of David Scott Parker Architects who was in charge of the former bank building’s metamorphosis into the evolving art gallery.
Sing’s museum panels are built to last for centuries, are the strongest, lightweight and eco-friendly wall panels ever invented; only Sing’s panels are non-warping and can be guaranteed true flat for 50 years, which is by far the best warranty.
Proud to be the newest Eco-friendly architectural building product that is more lightweight and stronger than other traditional building products, Sing Core is a part of this forward thinking movement that is creating an advanced attitude that embraces high tech while maintaining a green perspective.
“The Center is shared home and place of collaboration for AIA Seattle, Design in Public, Seattle Architecture Foundation, and AIA Washington Council, as well as a place for our partner organizations to convene events and conversations relevant to design and our city.”- CFAD Seattle
To help support the efforts of all progressive architects and designers in the Northwest, Sing Core has donated $36,000 in its patented Eco-friendly architectural building materials thus far.

Unlike other portable buildings, Sing T Slot Modular Buildings are
Insulated
Sing T Slot Modular Building panels come standard with R 6.25 insulation, but could be upgraded to meet your architectural specifications. This insulation provides temperature separation preserving the interior of the structure environmentally protected from the exterior conditions (a huge advantage in extreme conditions, like on scientific expeditions on the polar caps).
Sound Deadening
Increasing the quality of the intended use of your modular buildings, it is a huge added benefit to enjoy the sound deadening qualities of Sing T Slot Panels further providing separation from the modular building’s exterior for added convenience, privacy and peace of mind no matter where your modular building is located, whether it is amidst heavy air traffic or an in plant office in a noisy factory.
Lightweight
Sing T Slot Panel Modular Buildings weigh a fraction of the weight of other solid core structures because of the patented torsion-box/foam-insulation composite structure of Sing Core.
High Strength
4 x 4 T Slot Modular Ticket Booth
High precision Sing Core is the strongest interior structure base material that enables panels to span large distances with very little (if any) additional supporting structure with little or no deflection. Only the patented torsion box composite substrate could accomplish the feats attributed with this newly invented building material.
How Strong is Sing Core? It was independently tested by the University of Washington at 660 PSI (that’s stronger than steel pound for pound); well over 6 times the strength of other composite materials used in the aerospace industry.
Long Lasting
When you’re making a substantial investment in insulated modular buildings, they need to be durable, especially if they are to be assembled, disassembled, transported, stored and reconfigured repeatedly. Your Sing T Slot Modular Building can be guaranteed to last for 50 years without fail, and you will always be able to get additional components to add to your structural components as your need for portable buildings and/or shelters increases.
Isn’t it time that you made a major improvement upgrade in your modular buildings?

Now you can join the revolution of the best new building material innovation to enter the marketplace in the last decade. Sing core is the Eco-friendly solution that is insulated, lightweight with the high precision and performance of all honeycomb cores.
Man doors are doors within doors. For instance, you can have a large sliding door, say 14 ft tall and 20 ft wide. You might not want to slide that big door back and forth every time you access the space. No problem. Just install a separate egress point (a man door) inside that large oversized door and you have simple method or entering and exiting the space without having to articulate the mother door.
Man doors can be tricky because the host door (which can be very large, potentially up to 40 ft or more) must be built with very high structural integrity so as to accommodate the regular and potentially heavy use of the man door.
That’s why the world’s best large doors with man doors are made with Sing Core, because using Sing Core is the only way to build such a door which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail, and you need this high precision dimensional stability to accomplish such a feat, over time.
That’s why inventor Peter Sing guarantees his warp-free large door solution to remain warp-free for 50 years. No other lightweight, fully insulated, sound deadening and climate control large door in the world can make such a claim. Not only is Sing Core the best way to do it, it is the only way to do it.
A Man Door is a man-sized access door that is pre-built ~ or after market modified ~ in a larger door to provide access of an individual without having to open the entire large door, exposing the entire area. Man Doors are also referred to as pedestrian doors, pass doors and/or access doors. Man doors are one of the absolute best ways possible to add additional functionality and character to your high end residential and commercial locations. What’s more, you can order your man door in any skin, even metal skins, like hot rolled and cold rolled steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, and copper.
Sing Man Doors
Large extreme edge pivot doors with man door
Sing Core makes the best man doors. Why? Because our Eco-friendly high-precision lightweight and high strength core material allows door manufacturers to create doors of enormous size while keeping them straight and true. So perfectly straight and true, in fact, that Sing Core offers a free large door consultation that can result in a professional large door that can be guaranteed true flat and to remain true flat for 50 years.
When you have a super large door (could be as big as a hangar door) in many cases you don’t want to open the entire door area just to access the space. That’s where the Sing Man Door comes in. There’s no doubt that Sing Core is the go to source for insulated large doors of any size that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.
It is quite common for someone who seeks out the services of Sing Core to request that a large oversize door come with an access door that allows egress without having to unsecure the entire big door area. In most cases Sing Man Doors are simply Sing Metal Doors incorporated into the design of the original oversized door.
Very few companies can compete with Sing Core when it comes to man doors, because of the extremely high precision, strength, and lightweight characteristics required in making a man door suitable for use for decades to come. Our Professional Man Doors come with our 50 Year Warp Free Guarantee and are 100% made in USA using materials sourced from USA. We pride ourselves on making the best man doors in the business.
Large doors with articulating access panels are common, and are increasing in popularity amongst garage door companies who use Sing Core as their substrate material for their large garage doors.
Man Doors can be includes in all types of doors, including (but not limited to) large sliding doors, overhead doors, large pivot doors, large swing doors, large carriage doors, and more…
Maybe it’s time you thought about having pedestrian access via a specially designed pedestrian door to be used as a pass door allowing access to your space in a smart, more economical and secure fashion.
It is common for self/home contractors of spec home projects to contact Sing Core for Eco-friendly insulated building materials that are lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.
You might be surprised that many spec homes have been built completely out of Sing Core materials, everything from the foundation to the roof and everything in-between including the doors and interior furnishings. All built to last for centuries.
You might think of Sing building materials as panels (which is understandable because our true flat panels are most popular around the USA and the world) that are used mostly as doors, floors, walls and roof panels.
Avid true green spec home builders and Sing supporters use a combination of Sing Panels and Post and Beam for every conceivable portion of the home build and even the furniture inside the home.

Looking for a millwork to finish your SingCore project?
Our primary affiliation is with the millworks that are highly skilled and qualified to deliver an end product which exemplifies the highest and best use of our patented SingCore building materials. In fact, when we receive inquiries about our products, our first question is, “Who is your millwork company?” If they do not have one they are working with, we suggest they get one and have them contact us directly.
SingCore is an extraordinary building material that left to itself is not much more glamorous than any other engineered plywood, even though nothing can compare to SingCore’s unparalleled light weight and strength. Yet, in the hands of a skilled millwork, their specialized craftsmanship is what makes Eco-friendly SingCore shine with the beauty and elegance SingCore products are known for.
Millworks face many challenges when bringing the architect’s vision to life. In some cases, the limitation of available building material can render a potential job impractical or even impossible.
For instance, a particular project might include a large wooden door. If the large wood door is an exterior door over seven feet tall or over four feet wide (as is the case for most modern pivot entry doors) millworks and custom door manufacturers will simply pass on the large door portion of the job, forfeit the entire job altogether based on the oversized exterior door, or if they do take the job may agree to build the large door according to the architectural specifications but will not offer a warranty on the performance of the big door.
Large exterior doors, especially large wood doors, are a problem because millworks and door manufacturers know the doors will fail due to warping. It’s nothing personal; it’s just the nature of the beast being the wood grain itself which tends to move according to changes in temperature, moisture or other environmental conditions.
Solution
Patented SingCore when engineered by the warp-free team can prevent any large door from failing over time. Millworks are confident they can provide a solution for any project including large doors of any size if they have SingCore inside, guaranteed.
Clients may ask for a warranty on the large doors (that without SingCore inside could not be warranted) and the millwork can now offer the professional SingCore guarantee – in writing – that the doors with professional SingCore inside are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.
Working with SingCore
Easy to CNC router
Millworks use either open edge or closed edge Sing Panel, whichever works best for the project at hand, as well as many options for skin types, solid blocking, custom lite cut outs, solid and exterior edging options.
SingCore is easy to machine and work with using traditional woodworking tools, CNC and edge –banding machinery and equipment.
Used as substrate material, SingCore can be delivered to the millwork ready for cold press or hot press lamination. Alternatively, millworks may desire exterior surfaces to be applied in our factory, which makes their job easier.
SingCore Durability
Products made of Sing panels are easy to repair damage to its original condition simply and easily by cutting a hole (you can even use a chain saw without compromising the structure due to its unique Sing Core torsion box/foam and stress skin composition). Any repairs will have the strength, integrity and durability of the original structure.
