The Troubles of Warping Doors and the Sing Core Solution

Doors are an essential part of our everyday lives, providing security, privacy, and aesthetics to our homes and businesses. However, a persistent problem that many of us have encountered is door warping. In this article, we will explore the common issues associated with warped doors and shed light on how Sing Core doors offer a revolutionary solution to this age-old problem.

The Problem with Warping Doors

Warping is a natural phenomenon that occurs when doors, typically made from solid wood or other materials, expand or contract due to changes in temperature, humidity, or poor manufacturing techniques. As a result, the door may twist, bend, or bow, leading to misalignments, gaps, and difficulty in opening or closing. This not only compromises the door’s functionality, but also affects its appearance, causing a lack of visual appeal and reducing the overall value of the property.

Traditional solutions such as reinforcing with extra material or bracing can provide temporary relief, but they often alter the door’s aesthetics and fail to address the root cause of the problem. Homeowners and business owners alike have long sought a more effective and durable solution to combat door warping.

The Sing Core Difference

Sing Core doors have emerged as a game-changing solution to the persistent problem of door warping. Developed using our patented techniques, these doors are constructed using a unique honeycomb core that combines torsion box technology with a lightweight, rigid foam core.

The secret to their success lies in the Sing Core’s patented honeycomb core. This creates an incredibly resilient and stable base which is not only warp free, but also incredibly strong and durable. This innovative construction technique ensures that Sing Core doors remain flat and resist the effects of temperature and humidity changes.

Additionally, the lightweight core minimizes stress on the door, reducing the risk of warping altogether. By using this advanced composite material, Sing Core doors achieve remarkable structural integrity without sacrificing weight or compromising on aesthetics. In addition, every Sing Core door comes with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee, so you can trust that you’ll never have to worry about your door warping on you again.

Benefits and Applications

Sing Core doors offer a range of benefits to homeowners, architects, and builders. Firstly, their exceptional stability means that they require less maintenance and repair over time, saving time and money. Secondly, their lightweight nature allows for easier installation, reducing labor costs and effort.

Sing Core doors are suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential homes, commercial buildings, and industrial settings. Whether it’s an interior or exterior door, Sing Core offers customization options to suit various design preferences and project requirements.

Conclusion

Warping doors have long plagued homeowners and businesses, compromising functionality and aesthetics. However, the revolutionary Sing Core technology provides a much-needed solution. With their unique construction and resistance to warping, Sing Core doors are a reliable, long-lasting investment, ensuring peace of mind and adding value to any property. Say goodbye to warping doors and welcome the stability and durability of Sing Core doors.

Improving a Home with Sing Core

As an architect, it’s important to stay up to date on the latest building materials and techniques to ensure that your customers get the best possible results from their home improvement projects. One material that has been gaining popularity is Sing Core, a lightweight and durable building material that can be used in a variety of applications. Here’s how using Sing Core can help you improve your customer’s home:

What is Sing Core?

Sing Core is a patented door and wall panel that is made by sandwiching a lightweight core material between two layers of high-grade hardwood, then optionally finishing it with a beautiful and functional skin. This unique construction method gives Sing Core its signature lightweight and durable properties, while also guaranteeing it will never warp, which is something few panel manufacturers can claim. This makes it an excellent choice for numerous applications across the construction and design field.

Incorporating Sing Core into Home Improvement Projects

One of the primary benefits of using Sing Core is that it can be used in a wide range of home improvement projects. For example, Sing Core doors are an excellent choice for customers who want to improve the insulation and energy efficiency of their home, among many other features. Sing Core panels can also be used for walls and ceilings, providing a lightweight and durable alternative to traditional materials.

Designing with Sing Core

Another advantage of Sing Core is its versatility in design. Because Sing Core is available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, it can be used in a variety of architectural styles and for endless projects. Additionally, Sing Core can be easily ordered to fit custom shapes and designs, making it an excellent choice for unique or complex projects.

Sing Core is mainly used for doors, as that is where its features really shine. The versatility of the panels allows for nearly any custom door shape or size, and the strong-yet-lightweight nature allows them to replace traditional materials to retain a durable and rugged result, yet still remain unbelievably light.

Maximizing the Benefits of Sing Core

To get the most value from Sing Core, it’s best to know what features apply and where. We’ve already discussed strength and weight, as well as the warp-free nature of Sing Core panels, but there are many other benefits to discuss. For one, each panel comes with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee, which ensures you never have to worry about your door failing or warping on you. Additionally, Sing Core panels have a variety of perks that either come standard or can be upgraded by request. For example, due to the high quality insulation and patented honeycomb design, Sing Core panels are naturally sound reducing. This makes them great additions to projects where sound comes into play, like in a recording studio, or in a house near a busy street. For a more detailed breakdown of the amazing features of Sing Core panels, read this article.

Conclusion

Using Sing Core as an architect can help you improve your customer’s home in a variety of ways, from improving insulation to increasing durability and value. By understanding the unique properties of Sing Core and how to incorporate it into your designs, you can provide your customers with a high-quality, long-lasting solution for their home improvement needs.

Impossible Doors Our Specialty

If you would like to know more about how to design a door with Sing Core inside, click here.

When it comes to building the most unique doors, especially large, oversized doors of any size (up to 20 x 60 ft. or more), type, or style of door, Sing Core’s True Flat Team knows how to bridge the gap between impossible and possible, by applying many variations of their patented and patent-pending technologies to make it happen. Some of our most recent projects include curved doors, Sing stile and rail doors, new patent pending Sing Core stile and rails, long-span wood stave planks, CNC door carving blanks, large sliders with man doors, billionaire home doors, and hot rolled steel doors.

When an architect’s visionary project is coming to life, it is common for the project to come to a halt when the main door (this inspired visual centerpiece of the project) presents problems for the millwork or door company in charge of the rest of the door schedule.

Oftentimes, the most common response is, “We will build it, or have it built, to your specifications, but this door will be placed on a separate rider, excluding it from any other warranty that may be covering the remainder of the door schedule.”

The door company will probably not even bother with the manufacturing of this piece, as it is too costly to re-tool to build it and it is likely to fail not long after installation. So, they will sub it out, and have an artisan millwork build it, freeing them from any responsibility for follow up maintenance calls regarding this piece of the job.

That is, unless they are working directly with Sing Core.

Many of the biggest door companies and high-end millworks are back into the specialty door business because they have partnered with Sing Core.

Why Sing Core?

Sing Core offers solutions that make impossible doors possible, and not only possible, but these magnificent works of art can be guaranteed not to fail, as they are covered by Sing’s

50-Year No Fail Guarantee

These enormous or one-of-a-kind unique doors are nothing short of amazing, with unparalleled service records and longevity, and they are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup or otherwise fail (including full structure and lamination warranty) for 50-years. No other door in the world comes with such an impressive guarantee unless it has Sing Core inside.

The Most Unique and Challenging Doors

Large doors are not the only unique and challenging doors to come to the attention of the True Flat Team. Many other types of architectural doors will present a huge list of problems that will send door engineers, designers, and custom door makers running for cover, yet they are no problem for the Sing Core factory teaming up with the sophisticated door manufacturer or millwork to accomplish. Like these:

Curved Doors

Curved doors are unique specialty doors, that require precise curvatures, especially if they are being newly installed in a pre-existing wall or structure that is curved. Matching the curvature of the door to the existing wall can be extremely difficult, but the True Flat Team at Sing Core make the perfect curved door to match any curved wall or structure, while still guaranteeing the door for 50 years to perform without warp.

Sing Stile and Rail Doors

The Sing-style of stile and rail door is a departure from traditional stile and rail door technology. The clients who prefer the Sing-style stile and rail door are looking for characteristics that are unavailable via traditional door building methods but still retain the look and feel of a traditional stile and rail door. Specifically, they are looking for a stile and rail door that is impact resistant, insulated for both sound deadening and climate control, and of course guaranteed for 50 years. Sing Core accomplishes this by building the stile and rail face on top of a patented warp-free core.

 

Large Thin Stile and Rail Framed Doors

Sometimes the architectural door specifications are unusual, like this wood-framed traditional stile and rail door with a large glass lite opening. This is a 14 foot tall door that calls for only a three-inch wood stile and rail surround to hold the glass. This is unusual and would be hard to accomplish with standard door building methods, and it was even a challenge for the True Flat Team, which led to their creating a new type of stiffener, which is now patent-pending technology. Now, standard stile and rail doors made with Sing Core stiles and rails can be guaranteed to remain warp-free for 50 years using new patent pending Sing Core stile and rails.

20-ft Span Wood Stave Garage Door

This is just one example to the many kinds of garage doors that Sing Core has helped to make possible. In this case, the architect insisted on 20-ft spanning warp-free wood stave planks, that any other way would have been impossible. 50 years from now, will be just as straight and true as freshly installed thanks to Sing Core and their long-span wood stave planks.

CNC Carved Doors

These beautifully CNC carved doors would be impossible to keep straight as they are accentuating the wood’s natural grain which is already trouble brewing, if not for the warp-free Sing Core working hard behind the scenes, deep inside to keep these doors perfectly and truly flat even though they are 107-inches tall using Sing CNC door carving blanks.

 

Large Sliding Doors with Man Doors

When it comes to large sliding doors with man doors, there is really only one way to do it with a high degree of precision. The large sliders with man doors must remain decidedly straight and true in order for the man door to operate seamlessly, plus, because there is Sing Core inside, you get the added benefit(s) of getting lightweight, high strength, fully insulated for sound and climate control, and our 50-year warp-free guarantee.

 

Billionaire’s Exotic Home Doors

These massive natural teak doors have Sing Core inside to keep them from warping and also to provide added protection from outside interferences to privacy and the elements. Not everyone can have their whole homes fitted with Sing’s doors, but what a great feeling it is having done so with Sing’s billionaire home doors.

 

Hot Rolled Steel Doors

Hot rolled steel doors can be a challenge, especially if they are very large. Normally, large hot rolled steel means a lot of weight needs to be articulated adding stress and strain to the frame, hardware, and structure if used very often. Patented and patent-pending Sing Core reduces the weight greatly while enhancing the door’s characteristics enabling one to install a man door or open and close a mammoth-sized hot rolled steel door easily.

 

When Bigger is Better

Thanks to the patented and patent-pending technologies in the hands of the True Flat Team at Sing Core bigger does not necessarily have to mean heavier or big troubles are ahead. With Sing Core inside your big doors can be lightweight, high strength, fully insulated, and guaranteed warp-free for 50 years.

Challenges of Oversized Large Doors

When considering a door larger than normal (that might be referred to as an enormous door) many challenges arise for the architects, designers, millworks, builders and installers. Some of the most common problems associated with big doors include:

Warped Door

If the door is taller than seven feet tall and wider than four feet then the door will warp. Warped doors are a common occurrence associated with large doors. This can be annoying for the end user due to the constant maintenance calls required for dealing with the warping door (though it is good for the door service business).

Big Doors Are Heavy

If a door is large you are going to have a lot of weight to deal with. This excess weight causes many issues associated with the building, transporting, installing and maintenance of the door from inception and throughout the service life of the door.

Big Doors are Expensive

Heavy building materials require more time, manpower, resources and equipment to make the door and the result is a big door that is overweight. Heavy doors are expensive to deal with; expensive to crate, ship/transport, offload, finish, store and install.

Overweight doors require more expensive hardware, and the added stress on the frame and the structure requires more regular maintenance over time.

Modular = Newest Development in Large Doors

Sing Core technology has advanced to a completely new level by introducing the modular large doors for combating even more challenges associated with large doors; by creating doors that are shipped as individual components and assembled on-site.

These extremely large doors would cost thousands of dollars to ship (if not impossible due to their large size) but if made in modular components, the large door can be shipped flat-packed and sent by traditional shipping methods reducing shipping costs tremendously. And, the resulting big door can still be guaranteed not to fail!

True Flat Technology Goes Modular

Long known for the largest non-warping doors, Sing Core takes modular huge doors to the next level while still making their 50 year non-warp guarantee. The components are shipped separately and assembled on-site for the biggest doors that can still be fully insulated, operable and manageable without the heavy maintenance required for other big doors. Many connection methods are available for these large door projects including making components using our T Slot Panels as individual components that can be perfectly aligned on site.

Free Large Door Consultation

Of course, building such a door up to 50 feet wide is an art in itself. Each door is designed for its intended purpose. Some of the questions our specialized doors creators ask might include: Will your large door be underwater, in outer space, exposed to extreme weather, need to be bullet-proof, waterproof or soundproof? Also, “What kind of door will you need?” A large sliding door, pivot door, French door or other type of door, etc…

Commercial trade professionals are encouraged to contact us for a Free Large Door Consultation, so that you, your clients and the world at large can know what it is like to own an non-warping large door of any size.
