The most common problem for garage doors is the continuous exposure to the outdoor elements. Which subjects one side of the door to daily changes in temperature while the other side sees a constant interior temperature. This is where a solid wood garage door would fail and crack due to the wood expanding and contracting inside the door. This is a major flaw which requires frequent maintenance, such as repainting and resealing to prevent water damage.
Now with a Sing Core door, a garage door can have any skin from metal to old growth Douglas-fir.
Aluminum and metal skinned
Aluminum is a great option for sliding barn doors. The aluminum produces a lightweight and strong finished product. To seal metal and aluminum doors from the elements we have discovered the perfect solution, vinyl wrap.
Vinyl Wrap
Vinyl wrap will adhere to any door’s surface. The glue will seal out any moisture. The vinyl is fully customizable to any design of your liking and will provide full UV protection of your door. Learn how to build a true flat long lasting carriage door here.
Wood Skinned
The best choice for a wood garage door is AB plywood or marine plywood. There’s no need to worry about the plywood cracking with the inclusion of proper finishing when using Sing Core thanks to our patented and patent-pending torsion box “honeycomb” design. This is why they are used on our Sing Core homes.
Wood Stave
A superior addition to any door is to add wood stave to the face. Our most common wood stave products are clear cedar and douglas fir. With wood stave applied, the door looks like it’s made of solid wood.
Unlike a thin .020 wood veneer; wood stave can be sanded and repaired if damaged. Making wood stave a more durable solution to high traffic areas or commercial applications.
Does your customer need a rugged wood stave skin or a thin veneer? Ask one of our knowledgeable sales engineers about the pros and cons of different skin options and they would be happy to walk you through your options.
1/8″ wood stave is all that is necessary to make your door look like it is made completely out of solid wood. But the secret inside is that your door is exponentially stronger and more stable than a standard solid wood door. Your Sing Core door is also almost a third of the weight of a comparably sized solid wood door. Being lightweight expands the choices of hardware, reduces labor costs to install, and is safer in inclimate weather. This applies to all doors with Sing Core inside; pivot doors, sliding doors, pocket doors, carriage doors, bi fold doors, and other doors with unique hardware configurations. Learn more about wood stave here.
We have a very large inventory of wood stave in stock. We will sell the wood stave by the square foot and have a wholesale option. Wholesalers are eligible for discounted pricing on wood stave lots. Contact our sales team for details about wood stave lots here.

In the end, there is no comparison. The most essential qualities of the respective products win out. You don’t need me to tell you how this will end. So, which aluminum composite panel will you choose. I know that I always choose the one that makes me Sing!
Don’t Settle with PolyMetal
In terms of strength, weight, and straightness, Sing Core stands out from the competition. We are not here to brag about ourselves, but to kindly remind you not to settle on a single brand of aluminum composite sheet materials. Just because something else worked for you in the past, doesn’t mean that our aluminum plywood panels won’t work for you in the future.
Laminated Plywood
The key to our laminated plywood / aluminum product is the layer of aluminum on the outside. Typical plywood can be rough, unsightly, and susceptible to moisture ingress from exterior environments. This may lead to warpage in signs, lightweight structures, and maritime situations.
That’s where the aluminum comes in! Aluminum is rust free and impervious to the elements. Yet, it remains lightweight, fire resistant, overall very attractive to they eye.
Laminated Aluminum
Our sheets of standard size construction grade plywood are applied, in a proprietary process of “gluing,” in between or on one side of a sheet(s) of aluminum. This is why we call it laminated aluminum. This technology is the key to our success.
In what some might call an “unholy” marriage, the remarkable properties of aluminum are forever wedded to the low-cost availability of plywood sheets. So what are you waiting for?
Aluminum Laminate Sheet
You may want to know, “How much does an aluminum laminate sheet cost?” The answer may surprise you!

The simplest and least expensive way to join sing panels is to join in any way according to your budget and/or expertise.
Due to Sing Panels being so straight and true it is easier to join panels together because they line up perfectly unlike other building materials.
In many cases, for instance, standard 4×8 panels can be nailed, glued or channel-joined quickly and easily with satisfactory results.
Other options for fastening panels may include cam locks (see examples left and right) that can be pre-installed, making assembly and joining easy and more secure.
The Sing cam-lock panel solution is a high-demand solution for panels that are routinely assembled and disassembled, especially in moveable walls, trade show booths, and various wall cladding applications. See: Cam Lock Panels

Thru-bolt Joining
One of the most inexpensive and secure ways to join sing panels is by utilizing a simple nut and bolt connection method, especially, if the panels will be routinely or repeatedly assembled and disassembled.
Stainless steel nuts and bolts offer the safety and security when joining sing panels.
Biscuit Joining
In many cases, Sing Panels can be pre-configured for biscuit joining at your site of factory.
Especially for large projects, this enables Sing Core panels to be sent individually, reducing shipping and handling costs, for assembly at your facility or job site.
See images below for example of biscuit assembly of Sing Panels
Unless specified Sing Panels do not ship edge-banded as 93% of our wholesale customers do their own edge-banding when finishing their Sing Panel.
Edge banding can take many forms from vinyl and plastic to wood and steel. Sing Panels are not intended for use as an un-banded product and may not qualify for our 50 year warranty if un-banded.
If your intention is to get the best, most long-lasting performance from your Sing Panels, feel free to take advantage of our free consultation to be guaranteed to achieve the results that you desire.

Advanced Large Panels
Sing Core specializes in extremely large panels (up to 50 feet) that are extremely true flat and use our nearly seamless assembly process.
This is the most high-end and expensive process where we perform the highly specialized meticulous work in our factory yielding the high level of perfection that many of our most discerning clients require. See: our clients.
These must be manufactured in our plant to ensure accuracy with tolerances within thousandths of an inch and are more costly to ship due to the nature of their being larger than multiple panels that can be assembled on-site.
Connectors for Connecting
Cam-Locks
One of our many features is the ability to add fasteners/locks to our panels…one example of this is the “S-Hook Lock” with a turn of the hex wrench you can fasten or unfasten your panels quickly.
The “S-Hook” fastening lock that is attached to the side of these panels to allow for easy assembly of the wall system.
With a quick turn of your wrist on the hex key your panels will be attached to each other.
Barn Door Assembly or ‘H’ Channel
If you are planning to keep your panels as a permanent structure you may choose the H-Channel attachment feature. Apply your adhesive the slide panel into the channel on each side then either veneer over the panel and channel or you may choose to putty, sand and paint your panels to cover over the H-channel.
Tongue and Groove
Tongue and groove is another fastening choice especially if you using our panels for flooring or ceiling. Make a nice almost seamless connection but give wood veneer a hardwood flooring appearance.
Biscuit Joint
This is a modified biscuit joint attachment. Similar to the H-joint the you are using a single long “beam” as the connector and gluing them together. Best use is for oversize tables (such as vacuum tables) and oversize doors as well. Because our panels are made of honeycomb rather than solid wood, they will not warp. Our honeycomb is light and strong.
Ship Lap
The ever popular ship lap as a connector alternative.
