Core Value of Steel Doors
It is how steel door shapes the future by invention of Sing Core.

See: Steel Door Gallery

Steel door technology has not made any major improvements since the development of EPS core which has higher insulation for replacing the paper core and wood based core used previously. Sing Core uses reinforced EPS or urethane foam to fill the voids of the structural torsion-box-like vertical veneer in those highly insulated Sing products, and… Viola! You have the strength which is approximately 30 times stronger than any other regular door made of foam. Steel doors made of patented Sing Core is the leading edge door technology that provides more insulation, strength and extremely lightweight. The end result is more Eco-friendly door; stronger and lighter weight without using heavy gauge steel but creating an even stronger steel door.

Achieve the security, safety and elegance of the most economical, advanced steel door technology to your entryway with Sing Metal Doors made in your choice of high quality stainless steel, galvanized steel or cold rolled steel.

This photo features a fully insulated 13 ft. x 3 ft. x 1 inch steel door with 20 gauge metal under 160 lbs. of load with hardly any deflection. No steel studs, no welding. See pix of steel panels ready for door applications.

Sing Steel Doors are the only insulated Eco-friendly steel doors that can be guaranteed true flat thanks to patented Sing Core’s torsion box/foam composite base material that not only ensures flatness at the time of manufacture but stays flat for centuries.

Lightweight

Honeycomb-Skin-Material-Options-Metal-AluminumYou get it all; Huge savings in heavy weight when compared to solid steel while exceeding standards of high-strength and built-in insulation backed by our limited lifetime guarantee at a fraction of the cost. It’s why we say, “Heavy does not mean strong – and light does not mean weak.” Sing Steel Doors weigh much less than other steel doors and do not require heavy steel reinforcement studs to achieve the high strength. Steel doors made Sing Core do not need expensive, heavy duty hardware required by regular heavy steel doors.

High Strength

Compared to solid steel doors, Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound. Patented Sing core could reach 1000 PSI strength vs. paper honeycomb core traditionally used in the steel industry and is changing how steel doors are made. Sing steel doors will not dent or kink like regular hollow core, paper core or foam core steel doors.

Economical

Patented Sing Core costs a fraction of high-end honeycomb substrates, like those used in traditional aerospace applications, and still outperforms any of them in lightweight, high-strength, eco-friendly economical solutions bar-none. And that does not even take into consideration the reduction in transportation/installation costs and reduction in maintenance and repair costs over time.

No Welding

no-welding-free-metal-fabrication-lightweight-eco-friendly-stronger-than-steelSing Steel Doors are manufactured without welding which reduces labor costs, environmental and health hazards and our patented method will not compromise the integrity of the steel surface of the steel door, like welding does. No need to compromise the integrity of your steel doors by incorporating the most high precision Sing Core (+/- .006 inch) material and our patented metal fabrication process.

Custom Lite Openings

Sing Steel Doors can come complete with custom lite opening cutouts for adding glass to your door. You are not limited to the type, shape or style of cutout for your glass opening. Other steel door companies offer a variety of window openings to select from. Sing Steel Doors allow you to create any glass enhancement that you can imagine.

Steel Door Replacements

Metal-doorSing Steel Doors are the number one replacement steel doors specified by architects and designers who demand high-quality and longevity backed by our rock-solid limited lifetime warranty. See our Clients List.

Steel Door Hardware

When it is of primary importance to achieve high-end security and stability of a steel door, one invariably runs into the issue of heavy steel doors causing additional strain on the structure and hardware. Patented Sing Core eliminates the heavy weight of solid steel while out-performing solid steel.

Service Industries

Sing Steel Doors are replacing other steel doors used in commercial, healthcare, educational industries as they are being retrofitted in schools, hotels, storm shelters and retail installations.

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

**Customer will need to perform lab tests to certify hurricane rating for local code compliance.

Weatherproof Water Tight Wood Door

True Raise Panel Doors

True Raised Panel D

For exterior applications Sing Core wood doors are not only built true flat and designed to stay flat for centuries but they can also be virtually impervious to extreme weather conditions remaining watertight and will not warp, bend or twist over time thanks to our patented new door technology.

Some care must be taken in the selection of materials and substrate to achieve the desired results of your weatherproof and water tight wood door that can include free lite opening cutouts for glass insertion and combined with true raised panel doors for unlimited design options.

Marine grade plywood is an excellent exterior surface material, and augmenting surface treatments for sealing from the elements is also suggested as part of the solution for your water tight or weather proof expectations.

Architects seek out Sing Core for problem-solving for doors that exceed the demand that can be met by other door manufacturers, and commonly provide custom solutions for blast doors, bulletproof applications, underwater usages and extreme weather doors including hurricane doors*.

The key to designing the right door, is by clearly defining your expectations, so that Sing Core can provide you with a door that meets and exceeds your specifications, and thereby can be covered by our limited lifetime guarantee for your specific application.

Raising the Bar for Exterior Doors

Exterior doors routinely breakdown over time, leading to expensive maintenance, repair of replacement, but Sing Core weather proof and water tight doors are designed to exceed the expectations that you have learned to settle for in the past.

Sing Core is an extremely resilient material and is resistant to deterioration and/or rot even when exposed to the elements untreated.

Even without coating, Sing Core sandwich panels outlast plywood, solid wood, MDF, and particle board. Plywood and engineered wood rot and crack because of the weak glue layers. Sing Core panels last because the patented core material keeps the panels flat through torsion box technology, and therefore doesn’t allow the panel to crack, warp or twist.

As an alternative to weatherproof and watertight wood doors, Sing Aluminum and Fiberglass panels are ideal for outdoor applications for effective eco wood treatment.

How to Finish

Sing Core is in the business of providing our clients with the best materials to accomplish the most complex high end solutions especially in terms of lightweight, high strength and economical.

Many clients come to us because they have heard that we make the best – insert and end product. And it is true that many of the best end products are made with Sing Core, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Sing Core created the end product.

In most cases, Sing Core supplies the high-end craftsmen, millworks and contractors with the base material to accomplish their objectives. The detail and finish-work is completed by someone else, and in some cases the end-user completed the finishing. In special circumstances, we can have your end product finished by our trusted third-party partners on your behalf.

To help those do-it-yourselfers in search of information on how to finish your panels, we offer this simple DIY guide for finishing ideas.

How To Paint steel, Aluminum, Plastic, and Acrylic

This guide will cover prepping and painting of steel, aluminum, plastic, and acrylic plus more. I’m sure some people will think some of the steps are not necessary and quite extensive compared to some guides. Yes, this may be true but I am writing this guide to help get a quality finish from your case, not something that looks like the neighbor painted in his homemade cardboard paint booth with a 99 cent can of paint from the dollar store… Click to View
