Insulation: Sing Core has built-in insulation value with an R3 to R6.5 rating per inch, depending on client’s needs/specifications.

Sound deadening: Sing Core’s filler material has natural sound-deadening properties. Other sound-deadening options are available at customer request.

Light weight: When compared to other materials Sing Core weighs much less, as much as 50% less, or more, as little as 4 lbs. per sq. ft. yet eco-friendly. This advanced technology used in the aviation industry is now available for use in your home.

Strength: Sing Core based on 2″ x 2″ grids and 3/4″ thick = 660 PSI. For instance, aluminum 3/8″ grids = 30+ PSI (smaller grids should be more strength). Sing Core’s superior strength comes from its advanced torsion box design.

Solid: Sing Core is solid like a rock. While the vertical wood grain torsion box core may be compared to other hollow honeycomb cores, the Sing Core voids are not hollow as they are bonded wall-to-wall and filled with recycled foam for a strong, solid substrate.

Eco-friendly: Sing Core is manufactured using natural wood fibers, no formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals, is created using less energy than any other core material with little or no waste.

Renewable: The structure of Sing Core is 100% renewable (nature-grown) clean fiber and/or recycled material.

Oversize: Sing Core excels in area of large oversize products due to its unique properties and can be up to 50 foot length.

Dimensionally stable: Sing Core is the most dimensionally stable building material allowing us to create large, oversize products (i.e., doors, up to 50 ft.) that are true flat exceeding AWI standards and can be guaranteed to be true flat. Large oversize panels can be truly dimensionally stable without any movement due to temperature and moisture change.

Thickness available: Sing Core is readily available in many thicknesses, up to 6 inches in standard thickness, with custom thicknesses available.

Skin options: Available in many different exteriors including (but not limited to) aluminum, cement board, cold roll steel, concrete, ceramic tile, fiber glass, galvanize metal, glass, MDF, metal, plastic, plywood, solid wood, stainless steel, etc…

Easy to machine: Sing Core is easy to work with in the shop or on-site for sawing, sanding, adding solid wood implants, gluing, cutting and fastening.

Fast turnaround: In you’re in a rush, only Sing Core can be custom made within 24 hours and is proudly manufactured for you in the USA.

Even though Sing Core is less expensive than most solid material, the end result is more structurally sound, lightweight, will not compromise over time and reduces the amount of man-hours and equipment to install.

Sing Core is a honeycomb sandwich panel composite material with built in structural grids. Sing Core could have the exterior surface skin of any material including, but not limited to wood (seen in photo), metal, plastic, glass, Kevlar, even concrete and cement. The strength of our design is due to the structural grids made of naturally abundant, renewable, vertical grain veneer wood fiber. Sing Core is constructed in a fashion similar to torsion box technology most commonly found in the aeronautics and space exploration industries.

This technology is what allows our panels remain strong, lightweight, and flat without denting, cracking, and warping. See a comparison here. Inventor Peter Sing uses this torsion box technology, along with wood fiber and foam to create patented Sing honeycomb core: the incredibly strong, true flat, lightweight, renewable composite material of the future. Check out our products section to see a few different applications.

Engineering Myth-busters

Heavy is not equivalent to strong
Lightweight is not equivalent to weak
Expensive material does not ensure high function
Solid material is overused and not ecologically responsible

Most construction is a waste of materials, natural resources and has a negative impact on our planet. Solid materials are overused in an attempt to increase the strength or lifespan of the project. This excess of materials and resources is not necessary… and can be likened to killing a fly with a machine gun.

It may be hard to believe, at first, but for the first time in our history, a truly responsible structural alternative can be found in Sing Core technology. Many of our clients were skeptical when they queried us about our lightweight and strong solutions to their design challenges.

That is why Sing Core is the secret ingredient found in the homes, offices, estates and showrooms of royalty, political and religious high-end environments. Once you try the Sing Core alternative, you will never go back to traditional building materials in some cases.

Traditional honeycomb panels have come to the rescue addressing the lightweight needs of industry. Sing Core is compatible to (if not well out-performing) most honeycomb technology in terms of weight, but no other honeycomb core can compare to Sing Core in terms of strength. None.

Before today, you did not know about Sing Core’s environmentally responsible solutions to function and sustainability. Now that you do, what will you do with that knowledge?

Take the Sing Core challenge.

Characteristics

Green Characteristics

1) Our environmentally friendly honeycomb structure is made of 100% vertical grain wood veneer. This is the foundation for the strength of our panels. The close up image of the vertical grain wood veneer material is what makes up our honeycomb core. Honeycomb Core – This is the strongest, lightweight, affordable, earth-friendly honeycomb core ever invented. Sing wood veneer honeycomb core takes less energy to produce than other honeycomb cores such as aluminum, plastic, and paper. 2) Rot Resistant – Sing Panels and Beams are rot resistant even with ground contact. They can withstand extreme moisture and humidity. Sing Panels and Beams are also able to withstand extreme dryness and heat.
3) High Strength – Sing Panels are the strongest and stiffest insulated wood panels in the world. The strength of Sing Panels is unmatched. Sing Honeycomb Core Concrete home building system. It is the strongest lightweight insulated low cost home in the world—-We prove our claim by the picture below and to the right. $1000.00 dollar reward if you can prove otherwise. Pictured to the right is a one ton truck on a piece of 1/4″ inch thick Hardy Plank wrapped around our Honeycomb core. it does not crack under the pressure of a 1 ton truck. This is the future economical, concrete home structure. The picture is proof. Can you drive a 1 ton truck over a conventional frame home wall without it cracking?? Sing honeycomb core structure materials are made of 100 % natural wood veneer. A similar engineered wood product is paper honeycomb. The honeycomb structure in this material is made of paper. Paper requires more energy and chemicals to produce. Paper honeycomb requires chemicals to breakdown the wood fiber and requires energy for the drying process to produce the paper. Sing honeycomb is the strongest lightweight material available at a low cost. We can be found at the top of Googleâ€™s image search under the search phrase â€œLightweight, high strength, low cost. High strength means a longer life span for the product. Sing honeycomb will last many times longer than paper honeycomb. Furniture that is built to last will not end up at the landfill. You can have your choice of the type of foam you will use for insulation and sound deadening properties. The choices of foam we have are urethane foam, recycled EPS foam, phonolic foam, or soy based urethane foam. Sing honeycomb is easy to machine and can be cut just like solid wood. It does not require a special saw or a smooth cutting surface. Sing honeycomb panels make it easy to apply edge banding. Any edge banding machine and regular cutting tools can be used to apply the most beautiful edge. Sing Honeycomb works just like paper honeycomb and uses solid wood for fastening hardware, but has much stronger mechanical bonding than paper honeycomb. It is made of solid wood veneer instead of paper. Paper honeycomb loses its strength as moisture content increases. Sing honeycomb can be exposed to the rain and sun in a wet climate such as Washington for 3 years and will remain structurally solid, when paper honeycomb would only last a matter of days.		The picture above shows a 2 inch paper honeycomb panel failing. The above picture shows a 1 3/4 inch Sing Wood Veneer Honeycomb panel with a heavy load resting on the top.
4) Flat and Straight – Sing Panels and beams are manufactured to be the most flat and straight. When force is applied to a panel its performance is measured in stiffness and deflection (How much it bends.) Sing Panels stiffness and deflection properties exceeds current panel manufacturing requirements for performance.
5) Lightweight – Sing Super Honeycomb Panels and Beams are the lightest and strongest, earth friendly, affordable, honeycomb structures on the Market.

6) Sound Deadening Properties – Sing insulated wood panels offer unsurpassed sound deadening properties. This ensures that you can enjoy the quiet solitude of your home or cabin. Experience the quiet, calm in your home even during a storm with Sing Insulated Paneling.

Sing Core Partners with Architects and Designers for a Better World

Lightweight does not mean weak, heavy does not mean strong; just as low cost does not mean inferior. If you are searching for lightweight panel, post and beam in wood, metal, cement board, FPR or plastic for your building design project. Newly Patented Sing core is changing the public’s previous knowledge about lightweight honeycomb sandwich material. Sing core is the only material used in such a wide range of industries and it has endless applications.

Sing Core’s mission is to provide superior eco-friendly product to architects who have share a common goal with Sing product to build a better World creating a healthier, green planet, benefiting all creatures and life forms for extended sustainability for the future.

Sing Core is Eco-Friendly

Sing Core is manufactured with less, energy consumed, using earth-friendly renewable veneers. No formaldehyde is used in the adhesives between the structural and sandwich facings to ensure a true green end-product.

Sing Core is Lightweight

Sing Core is extremely lightweight. Though traditional honeycomb panels and products have been effectively used in your designs, patented Sing Core weight is approximately 4-6 lbs per cubic foot. No other core or sandwich material can lay claim to the lightweight advantages of patented Sing Core.

Sing Core is Strong

Traditional aluminum, paper and/or plastic honeycomb core cell size is commonly 3/8 inch to ¾ inch. The average compression strength are 10 to 100 psi; but the smallest Sing Core grid is 2 inch x 2 inch which when tested at the University of Washington reached 660 psi. for Sing Core’s honeycomb core.

The height of Sing Core could be 6 inches or more and still has superior strength but the average height of traditional cores are limited to mostly within one inch because the taller the core, the less compression strength. That is why you never see aluminum core in a 6 inch thickness, because they fail structurally. Sing Core maintains its strength and integrity in thickness of 6 inches or more. Sing Core is redefining, “lightweight and strong.”

Sing Core’s Unlimited Applications

Sing Core panels are available in thicknesses as little as 1/8”and as thick as 8 inches in lengths of 50 feet or longer, in aluminum, plywood, even cement bprad or ceramic tile or fiberglass or any other facing. Sing Core beams have superior structural integrity and can be 20 x 12 inches thick and 50 feet long (or more).

Sing Core is Made in the USA

100% of Sing Core is proudly manufactured in the USA, using local labor supporting our community. Though Sing Core is also proud to be exported to other countries with green building agendas, our hope is to provide American jobs, supporting the American economy while making America greener and more sustainable, ensuring a bright future for generations to follow.

10 Year Warranty

Sing Core exceeds current code requirements. For example, in the door industry, AWI’s guidelines dictate that a door should be less than ¼ inch flatness. Sing Core routinely builds doors that are over 10 ft or longer in length, yet staying within those 7 ft doors code requirements. Doors made of Sing Core provide 10 years of structure warranty. As a common practice in door industry, most manufacturers offer only a one year warranty.

Products made with patented Sing Core can be easily repaired without compromising it’s original strength, due to the structure of Sing Core and the bonded stress skin which when compared to solid wood and other types of solid materials would pose a significant challenge.
