Sliding door room partition

Sing Core is honored to be a part of creating an intimate space inside restaurant Osteria Mornini in Miami, FL.

 

Nusla Design helped imagine this space and spearheaded the design. Following Nusla’s design, Sing Core fabricated four stunning door panels to be used in the Osteria Morini restaurant.

Watch the video below and hear the difference Sing Core’s true flat doors make.

 

​

These Sing Core sliding doors are used as a temporary room partition for private parties or meetings.

​

 

 

Sing Core doors naturally dampen the noise of the bustling restaurant. These doors were designed without the addition of acoustic skin layers or acoustic seals. Miami crowds can be lively, and this sliding door room divider creates a separate space to break up that sound transference.

The doors stack up flat parallel against one wall when not in use. Then each of three doors slides independently to the far wall to line up in a perpendicular position. And finally, the fourth door is a fixed pivot door that can swing in or out to completely close off the space. When completely closed the sliding doors and pivot door create a completely flat wall that is camouflaged to blend into the background of the restaurant. And with the use of the pivot door can still be used to serve the guests in a private setting while maintaining the look of a flat wall.

​

 

 

 

Notice how flat and straight Sing Core’s sliding doors are, even after two years of heavy use in a commercial space. Sing Core doors are created specifically to remain flat for 50 years using our patented and patent pending door technology.

These look like one single panel, but are actually to perfectly straight flush panels next to each other

This sliding door and temporary wall system was made using four Sing Core professional door panels. The panels are each 38.875” wide by 108” tall and only 1.75” thick. Each door was hot pressed with .020 vertical grain oak veneer. A professional millwork then received the true flat door slabs and stained the veneer to match the various other wood details throughout the restaurant and installed the sliding door hardware. Sing Core is able to provide solid wood blocking in our customers’ specified locations to suit their hardware requirements. As in this case where no blocking is needed for door pulls to keep the illusion of a flat wall when in use.

 

Each panel can be slid on the track with only one finger. Sing Core’s lightweight door technology keeps the weight of each panel down to less than 150lbs.

 

 

Sing Core is proud to be a part of the continued evolution of door technology to make our customers’ lives more enjoyable. Whether that be in pivot doors, sliding doors, hinge doors, pocket doors, or any oversize door. We enjoy the challenge. We invite you to GET AN ESTIMATE and see for yourself how Sing Core’s true flat door cores can help you make the doors that your customers are asking for. Here’s to a Happy holiday for you and yours from the entire Sing Core family.

It was a pleasure to visit this breathtaking restaurant in Miami Beach, FL. And we encourage you to have a meal at this New York Times voted best Italian restaurant in Miami, FL.

How to Build a Sing Door

There is no doubt that Sing Core is responsible for the best doors in the world that can be built in any size for any functional purpose that can be guaranteed to not warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for a full fifty years of regular use, even though Sing Core does not build doors.

Some individuals can be confused when they visit Sing Core and expect to just buy a pre-hung door that is the best door in the world, only to find that Sing Core does not actually make the door. Sing Doors are made of Sing Core, although we only supply the pre-configured base door material to achieve the results sought by the most demanding clients in the world.

Standard Size Sing Door Blanks

By popular demand SingCore introduces patented door core in economical and easy-to-use standard door width door blanks.

How does it Work?

In the real world, an architect, engineer, designer or the client conceives of the concept of their desired door. In many cases the high concept doors are problematic; some of them are large doors, which tend to fail due to their enormous size, while others may feature exotic materials that are susceptible to warp. Sing Core has the technology to create a lightweight substructure that is stronger than steel pound-for-pound and can be structurally guaranteed for 50 years under normal designed and manufactured use.

It might be helpful, for you to follow us on a journey through the making of a Sing Door.

A Day in the Life of a Sing Door

Door idea dream door concept any size any material any shape any design1 STARTS WITH THE DESIGN

The first step is the idea of the door, that beyond conceptual design is reduced to its most simplest form: The height, width, thickness of the door and the exterior material that is to be featured on the exposed surface(s) of the door.

Custom door design specifications sing core insulated torsion box door core2 SUBMIT TO SING CORE

The idea is then submitted via trade professional (possessing wholesale privileges) via our online quote request. The doors’ specifications are reviewed by our Non-warp True Flat Specialists, who can help determine what materials will be used inside the door to achieve the results expected by the end user.

If the client’s expectations include trouble-free high performance over a long life, the resulting design will be given special treatment resulting in a professional door base.

The resulting specifications are sent to Sing Core’s factory to custom assemble all the substructure components and composite materials necessary to achieve the results sought by the client.

This includes interior framing, insertion of Sing’s patented torsion box core material, solid inserts, lock blocks, fusion of other inner and surface materials plus any specified lite cutouts for installation of glass windows.

4 DOOR FINISHING

Exterior door handmade custom doors any size large door torsion box coreAfter the Sing Core factory has created the base door (door blank) it is sent to the door finisher; this could be a door manufacturer, custom millwork, industrial engineers or high end craftsperson specializing in ornate doors for elite consumers.

The door finisher applies the final finish to the door (trimming, edge routing, painting or other finish treatment), drilling, preparing the finished door for hardware and will likely install the glass (if specified, though sometimes this is done on site depending on the project).

The door finisher may (or may not) pre-hang the door (install all hardware and attach frame).

5 DOOR INSTALLATIONS

Then the door is packed up and sent to the job site, where the attending licensed contractor installs the final door.

Sing Crowd Manufacturing

In this sense, each and every Sing Door is a crowd manufactured project; it is a cooperative effort of many individuals from concept-to-installation, without whom no Sing Door would ever be made.

So, How Can I Get a Sing Door?

The process is simple; if you are a door company or qualify for a wholesale account, you deal directly with us, otherwise, you must seek out a professional anywhere within the Sing chain who will contact us and deal with us directly and they will partner with us by submitting your request to make sure you get the best door in the world custom-designed for the high performance that you demand.

If you are seeking out a Sing Door, we know who you are; you desire only the very best and will not settle for less and we are proud to be the only door partner in the world who can help to make you a door of any size using any material and meeting or exceeding your expectations, guaranteed.

Non warp door blank for building non warping doors of any sizeYou could be one of the best door builders by outsourcing your OEM non warping door blanks.

Sing Core has served the building industry by providing the only Eco-friendly, insulated non-warp high-strength, lightweight door. Contractors who build Sing Homes (entire homes built of Sing products) want the added strength, stability, insulation and non-warping doors in all egress points for added safety and security.

First, we have to talk about what makes the best door in the world; it has to be:

1 Non Warp

Even the very challenging doors, large doors, sliding doors, pivot doors, all can be professional SingCore warp-free guaranteed for 50 years. The secret of the best door makers in the world is that they can use the Sing solution as their door’s base material to create a warp-free door, which is the best solution to the problem of warping doors, especially large doors which would otherwise be extremely prone to warp.

2 Lightweight, high strength, insulated and Eco friendly

The strongest lightweight door in the world is made with Sing Core inside. This revolutionary Eco-friendly building material is based on patented technology that is the best of old wood craftsmen’s technology (torsion box) and new composite technology (recycled rigid foam insulation) fused with advanced adhesives and enhanced with patent pending non-warp stiffeners. The result is an extremely lightweight panel that can span distances without deflection that has not been accomplished before in any affordable manner.

3 Easy to Install

Even the largest strongest sound deadening door can be installed in half an hour. This 500 pound Sing pivot door panel measures 10 ft. tall x 12 ft. wide x 3.5 inch thick and took less than half an hour to install in the Seattle Center for Architecture and Design.

Then, we will explain how to build the perfect door, step-by-step, showing the pictures of the entire process (even the most complicated French door, sliding door, pivot door, exterior door, etc…) with all types of skins/surface material.
