2 x 12

Introducing the new staple of lumber and hardwood mills, factories and yards:

Sing 2 x 12 Wood Plank

eco-friendly-sing-core-beams-strength-lightweightThe Sing 2 x 12 is the most versatile eco-friendly hardwood lumber replacement in the world. Now available in Bamboo-style format.

No other wood 2 x 12 can match the performance features of Sing’s 2×12, like:

  • Lightweight
  • Straight and true
  • Twist, cup and warp resistant
  • Super strong (stronger than steel lb for lb)
  • Eco-friendly

Sing 2x12s are Flat, Straight and True

Each Sing 2×12 is extremely flat, with no twisting or cracking, unlike solid wood. Sing 2x12s can be used just like any other conventional hardwood, or softwood to build furniture, used as building material for boats, signs, planks, trade show displays, etc…

Sing 2x12s require no tongue-and-groove. Why? Because Sing 2x12s are straight and true, will not warp or twist over time. Therefore, assembling multiple lengths of Sing 2x12s is easy, painless and requires no tongue-and-groove to act as anti-warp control. Sing 2x12s can be joined edge-to-edge with standard carpenter glue, leaving a perfect seam every time, that will last the test of time.

Sing 2x12s are Dimensionally Stable

Lumber is unstable. You know what it’s like to try to find a straight piece of lumber… Then, once you use that piece of standard lumber, who’s to say how straight it will be in a year, or ten years? Tounge-and-groove was invented in an attempt to try to deal with the instability of commercially available lumber.

The unparalleled versatility makes Sing Core’s 2×12 the most amazing product to hit the woodworking industry since… the saw.

The Sing 2×12 is not any type of soft wood or hardwood that you’ve ever known before; it is a basic material to build almost everything we use in our daily life.

1 Sing 2 x 12 x 8 foot panel

Why have we developed the Sing 2 x 12 x 8 foot Sing Plank?

  1. The Sing 2×12 is a superior match having the greatest amount of flexibility in diverse applications.
  2. Sing 2x12s can be produced in train load quantities. It has all the features of Sing Panels but at a lower cost. Sing 2 x 12 planks could use as substrate. Sing 2x12s can be edge-glued or end-glued to join and create any length or width. It is easy to append with any skin to accommodate any thickness. It is the most lightweight (1.5 lbs. per linear ft.), true flat and strongest insulated lumber ever invented.

2 Bamboo-style Sing 2×12 plank.

Why have we developed the Bamboo-style Sing 2 x 12 x 12 inch?

The only drawback when cutting 2 x 12 Sing Planks is exposing a portion of the Sing Core. When cutting the Sing 2×12 you need to remove a portion of the Sing Core and add insert a solid edge to end cap the exposed end. We have developed the solution by adding solid wood implants to create a Sing 2 x 12 like bamboo, providing cut points which will not expose Sing Core. It will have solid wood pre-installed at end of the Sing Panel cut point.

Due to the feedback of woodworkers who have heavy production schedules, we developed a new and improved Sing 2×12, that we call the Bamboo 2×12.

In much the same way that bamboo’s strength-cut-points occur naturally, Sing has scientifically redesigned the Sing 2×12 into its most prominent advancement, The Bamboo-style 2×12.

Sing-Bamboo-2x12-drawing-1You can see in the drawing (above) that 2 bamboo-like nodes have been put in place in the Sing 2×12 interior in the center-foot-area.
Cutting areas are precisely marked for your convenience. This allows for easy cross-cutting into lengths that are predetermined by the woodworking artist.

Sing-Bamboo-2x12-drawing-3

For instance, when cutting lengths of 1’, 3’, 4, 5’ or 8’ the nodes (or wood stiles) are pre-installed for convenient cross-cutting into these standard lengths.

Using the standard Sing 2×12, cutting an 8 foot length into two 4 foot lengths, would require the production team or woodworker to install wood styles at the cross-cut point, which may slow-down the production time.

Now, with the new and improved Bamboo-style 2×12, these challenges have been resolved, streamlining the production process

Sing-Bamboo-2x12-drawing-2

In the example (above) you can see how easy it is to edge-glue (using standard carpenter’s glue) Sing Bamboo 2x12s together into a large panel that could be used as a tabletop, counter, door, etc…

Question: If I need to build a door or table at 36 inch wide x 84 inch x 1.75 inch, what should I use Sing 2×12 plank or Sing Bamboo-style plank?

Answer: The Sing 2×12 Plank, because the Sing Bamboo-style 2×12 added cut-points would be superfluous (plus, the Sing 2×12 is less expensive).

Aesthetically, the Bamboo-style 2×12 and the Sing 2×12 look the same. If you require the Bamboo-style 2×12, you must specify when ordering.

Wood Stave

Woodstaves (a narrow length of wood “stave” with a slightly beveled edge) can be utilized to form the exterior of Sing Core. These can be used to replace other types of solid wood building materials.

Standard wood stave exterior measures:

  • 1/8”

Using Sing Core with wood staves is ecologically responsible doe to having the same appearance as solid wood by using fewer natural resources.

Other benefits include:

  • Material is stronger than (steel) solid wood
  • Lighter in weight than solid wood
  • Remains straight and flat
  • Rot, warp and twist resistant

Using Sing Core with wood staves reduces:

  • Energy consumption
  • Production costs
  • Labor costs
  • Shipping costs
  • Maintenance
  • Waste

 

Standard Hard Wood Stave Options

Sing Timber

What is Sing Timber?

Sing Timber is a large mass of wood that can be milled to any specification. Its versatility is exemplified by wood shops who saw the large timber masses in more specific smaller planks as needed. Sing Timber can come in 12 inches wide by 12 inches tall and 96 inches in length, or you can get it already cut-to-order as Sing Hardwood.

Sing Timber can be broken down into any thickness and width, to create your own wood plank. You do not have to inventory all size of plank just by sawing Sing Timber to the desired thickness. You can slice the Sing Timber to any desired width, all you have to do is to seal the deal by gluing an exterior skin on the fresh sawed side to finish your new plank.

How Can I Use Sing Timber?

Sing Timber is manufactured with a heart of Sing Core,  coverd with exterior skins on at least two sides form a large box like timber mass. It  can be sawed horizontally, sanded and glued to form a smaller wood plank. It will create any dimensional wood and it cabn be covered any hardwood species, metal, plastic or even cement to create a new generation of ulitmate lightweight, high strength products.

Sing Timber is Better than Hardwood

Sing Timber’s Sing Core makes this the only hardwood material that is better than hardwood, for a integrous building material that is just a beautiful as solid natural hardwood with far superior structural integrity.

Sing Timber’s high-strength is due to Sing Core that is less expensive than solid hardwood. When Sing Timber is produced, the energy savings are impressive, as the actual production process uses less energy, man hours and equipment usage and produces little or no waste. Sing Timber is also sonstructed of low cost, renewable natural wood fiber and recycled EPS foam. Patented Sing Core is many times stronger than most of the core materials used in modern aircraft with much less weight and a fraction of the cost of core used in the aircraft industry. The cost can be less than 10% of the inefficient core used in aircraft design.

Compare other type of honeycomb or core materials , sing core is the only core physically and cost effective to build Sing timer which will turn to hundreds of different products for many industries.

How does Sing Timber work?

Simply stated, Sing Timber can be used as any regular lumber, cut to fit your appropriate application, as in shelving, Or you could add a solid wood edge to enforce the strength and add fastening anchor point for mechanical fastening.

When working with Sing Timber with a router, be certain to attach wood strips to the area to be routed, as the exterior wood surface along the face is minimal.

Sing Timber is versatile

Our most popular format in Sing Timber is the 4×12 in 8- and or 10- foot lengths. It can be used as a stand-alone post and/or beam as is, or (here’s the exciting part) can be turned into so many different products for multiple applications. For example…

Sing 4×12 lumber can be easily sliced into alternate widths and thicknesses to suit your needs. No need to make multiple trips to the store to pick up the lumber you need, simply slice Sing Timber 4x12s into the size that you want on-site; Perfect for the millworker or ambitious do-it-yourselfer.

By sawing the sandwich panel cross the Sing core to form two pc of sing sandwich without skin on one side than add new skin or add new solid wood to build a two sandwich panel or two Sing panels at different thickness. Sing Timber is easily broken down into any dimension wood plank or hardwood. Sing Timber can be easily sliced to substitute for standard 2×4 lumber.

How Do You Add Hardwood Stave?

It is easy to add a sardwood stave to any cut or sawed section of Sing Timber.

Firstly, all you have to do is to sand the surface of your freshly-cut exposed Sing Core section of your plank.  Apply urethane glue or white glue to the smooth surface, then press. It’s that simple to turn a selection of Sing Timber into your own Sing Beam that is just as visually impressive as solid wood, but lighter weight and stronger than steel pound for pound.

Sing Timber is Strong and Straight

It is very hard to find straight hardwood without bowing, twisting or cracking.  Solid hardwood is heavy, and hard to work with.

Sing Timber is an eco-friendly solid wood composite material with a patented Sing Core interior that results in lumber that is straight and flat, unlike any other building material on the planet.

Sing Timber is also available pre-cut as Sing Hardwood.

Sing Core Strength

The Strongest Core Makes the Strongest Door

Our panels have the extreme strength to support large amounts of weight with little to no flex.

Sing Core has become known for our ability to produce panels that are exceptionally strong, yet light weight, warp-free, and more versatile than any other panel on the market.

Our panels have the extreme strength to support large amounts of weight with little to no flex.  There is no other door we know of that allows you to support multiple people without compromising the structure of the door.

True Flat 13 Feet Steel Door
Founder Peter Sing set out to improve the world with his revolutionary door core system

The secret ingredient in any Sing Core product is the extreme strength of the core material.  Peter Sing created the formula for the strongest and the straightest door core material which allows you to make panels that are super strong, super light weight, super, straight, visually appealing, and allows you to apply almost any skin, because the substrate is so structurally stable.

Our structure is so strong, 10 people can stand on this Sing Core made bench

Outperforming the competition

No other lightweight building material compares to patented and patent pending Sing Core.

The core is a comprised of natural wood grain fiber arranged in a honeycomb pattern tightly supported by eco-friendly, recyclable EPS foam, sandwiched between to skins consisting of nearly any building material completing the torsion box design.

We have extensively tested doors made with Singtech against competing doors.  The results were clear that our doors are able to withstand far more pressure compared to doors made by the competition.  

This creates a structurally sound material that has superior strength. Sing Core has been independently studied at Washington State University and concluded to be stronger than steel in strength tests.

This grown man can actually stand in the middle of this 12 foot span with merely one support on each side.  As you can see, there is practically zero flex on the panel with the weight of a full grown man.

Large Factory Sliding Door Strength Test
This huge panel is 12’ tall x 5’ wide x 3” thick, yet only weighs 121 pounds.

This short video demonstrates the extreme strength and lightweight attributes of our eco-friendly, sustainable material.

It is an example of a lightweight, nearly indestructible, modular collapsible table, featuring a guest appearance by Inventor, Peter Sing, and also includes a short furniture demonstration.

Genius, Master Inventor, Peter Sing

The Patented Sing Core material can host any exterior surface, like (but not limited to) concrete, ceramic, fiberglass, aluminum, stainless steel, fire-resistant Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Board, bullet-proof Kevlar, etc.

Sing Core is your only choice when it comes to substrate that is strong, light in weight, warp free, offers sound deadening capability, and guaranteed warp free for 50 years.  No other panel can do this!

   

Hammer Strength

Independently tested to be able to withstand force of up to 660 PSI, our panels are vying for the absolute top spot among the strongest of the strongest panels on the market.

When using a hammer on our doors to test them, you will see how strong they sound.  Try it for yourself.  

“Like solid steel.”
