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.

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

Hurricane Door

Applications -> Building Components -> Doors -> Hurricane Door

Sing-Core-Hurricane-Door-Exterior-InteriorThe Sing Core Hurricane Door is the best extreme weather condition door designed to be hurricane-proof without compromising the beauty and elegance of a solid hardwood door.

The secret of the Hurricane Door is in the utter strength of this special door. Certainly there are other hurricane-resistant doors, but their strength comes at a high price: Heavy weight. Sing Core Hurricane Doors are lightweight, yet stronger than steel pound for pound.

Simple Elegance

Steel hurricane doors are extremely heavy, and frankly unattractive. The beauty of the Sing Core Hurricane Door is also incorporated in the overall design of the door. The French door design is sleek styling that is inviting as well as attractive in appearance.

There are unique interior and exterior views of the door. The Sing Core Hurricane Door’s exterior surface is weatherproof fiberglass (FRP) and the interior hosts the natural solid hardwood surface of your choice.

Superior Strength

Breaking down the Sing Core Hurricane Door design, we begin with a core of patented Sing Core material, endowing the door with both lightweight, super-strength and anti-warp attributes. The core is then sandwiched between two wood skins.

The exterior surface is covered in weatherproof fiberglass (FRP) and the interior surface made of a beautiful, natural hardwood in your choice of Maple, Cherry, Oak, VG Fir or Walnut.

Sing-Hurricane-Door-Illustration-2

Your Sing Core Hurricane Door is avalable in the following Hardwood Species:

sing-maple sing-cherry sing-oak sing-vg-fir sing-walnut
MAPLE CHERRY OAK VG FIR WALNUT

How to Build with Sing Core Block

It is easy to build your own Sing Hardwood to use in your own designs. No more need to stock expensive hardwood inventories, unless you want to. In many cases it is much easier and ecologically advantageous to create your own Sing Hardwood using our patented Sing Core Block.

Sing-Core-Block-147Here is an example of how to build a 2 foot by 4 foot panel using our Sing Core Block. First you lay your bottom skin face-down on your surface. Then you cover with a layer of urethane glue. Put your exterior wood staves (edges) into place, as shown in the photo to the right.

Sing-Core-Block-Drop-In-2Sing Core Block is utilizes our, “drop-in,” system. Basically, all you need is to slice the Sing core lock your desired thickness as determined by your specifications. Install your sliced Sing Core Block by placing it inside your wood perimeter to fill the vacant space with Sing Core Block material.

Continue to fill the empty space with additional sections of Sing Core Block material until the space is nearly filled.

Sing-Core-Block-Drop-In-5

Here’s an exampled of Sing Core Block-filled vacancy

Sing-Core-Block-152Next apply a layer of urethane glue to the top of all the surface material(s) including the exposed Sing Core Block and the top-side of the wood staves as shown in the photo to the right.

Sing-Core-Block-153The honeycomb torsion box provides the strength, while the urethane glue adds to the structural integrity of the end product, keeping it from delaminating under extreme conditions or over long periods of time.

Once you have a nice coat of urethane glue on the entire top surface, you are now ready to apply the top skin.

 

Sing-Core-Block-155

This is a photo of the applied top skins in place.

Sing-Core-Block-Stack-Clamping

Sing Press – No Equipment Necessary

Once you have all your glue and components into place, the panel(s) need to be cold-pressed for proper adhesion and dry-time. Dry times vary according to the type of glue that you use. We suggest using a slow-drying glue for a higher quality end-product.

Sing-Core-Block-Press

Hydraulic Press

If your facility already has a commercial hydraulic press, then by all means use that. Many of our craftsmen who are Sing Hardwood manufacturers avoid any equipment cost by utilizing the Sing Press model, that is constructed out of perfectly straight Sing Panels on the top and bottom and a few clamps. There is no structural advantage of using a commercial press, as the results are the same.

 

You can see that very little energy is expended in the manufacturing of your Sing Hardwood, and there is little or no waste.

On-Hand = On-Demand

In the demonstrations (above) it is easy to imagine that you as the craftsman have complete control of the creation process. You can make your own Sing Hardwood on-demand at your location, avoiding any shipping expense or time… and if you need a piece of material that you suddenly find yourself out-of-stock… In an emergency, you could make your own (insert any hardwood or lumber product you want) if you have some Sing Core Block on-hand.

Wholesale Resource

Sing Core orders certain components by the rail car. We can pass on some of our savings to the craftsmen who use our Sing Core Block technology. You may find it beneficial to obtain wood staves, hardwood skins, glue (or other materials) from us to take advantage of our bulk buying power.

Note: For structural purposes, you as the manufacturer are liable for testing, licensure and code approval. Sing Core is not liable for any unauthorized use of any product created off-site using our patented Sing Core Block material. In the event that you intent to use your Sing Core Block material purposes, we may assist you in the process of getting the required testing completed.
