Create The Best Doors with Windows Using Sing Core

Doors with windows in them offer a myriad of benefits, from enhancing natural light to improving aesthetics. However, designing and constructing such doors pose unique challenges. In this article, we will explore these challenges and discuss why Sing Core is the leading choice in the industry for creating custom doors with windows.

Structural Integrity and Stability

One of the primary challenges in manufacturing doors with windows lies in maintaining structural integrity and stability. The addition of a window weakens the door’s core, making it prone to warping, bending, or even breaking. Traditional materials like wood or metal struggle to address this issue effectively, leading to compromised durability.

Sing Core, on the other hand, employs a patented honeycomb core that utilizes torsion box construction. This design consists of high quality hardwood and industrial insulation in a perfectly crafted core that is unlike anything else on the market. The resulting core is lightweight yet incredibly strong, ensuring optimal stability and minimizing the risk of warping or bending. In addition, every Sing Core door comes with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee, so you never have to worry about your door warping or failing on you.

Insulation and Energy Efficiency

Windows inherently pose challenges to insulation and energy efficiency. They are susceptible to air leakage, resulting in increased energy consumption and decreased comfort levels. In addition, low end doors provide little to no insulation themselves, which compounds the issue. Maintaining a consistent temperature and preventing drafts is crucial in achieving energy-efficient doors with windows.

Sing Core’s composite core technology excels in insulation properties. Its honeycomb structure provides an exceptional thermal barrier, significantly reducing heat transfer and air leakage. This insulation prowess helps maintain desired indoor temperatures, resulting in reduced energy costs and enhanced comfort.

Acoustic Performance

Another challenge faced in creating doors with windows is maintaining acoustic performance. Noise transmission through the window can disrupt privacy, productivity, and overall tranquility. Traditional doors often struggle to provide adequate sound insulation, especially when windows are incorporated.

Sing Core’s unique construction offers remarkable sound deadening properties. The combination of its core and the high-quality materials creates a barrier that effectively absorbs sound vibrations. While a glass window will lessen the sound reduction in general, improving this quality throughout the rest of the door improves the overall effect compared to traditional materials. This superior acoustic performance helps maintain quiet and peaceful environments, making Sing Core doors with windows ideal for offices, bedrooms, or any space that requires noise control.

Design Flexibility

Crafting doors with windows also involves the challenge of achieving design flexibility. Customization options are vital to match diverse architectural styles, interior aesthetics, and functional requirements. Balancing aesthetics, functionality, and structural integrity can be demanding.

Sing Core doors excel in offering design versatility, especially when integrating components into the surface such as a window. It can accommodate various window sizes and shapes, allowing for creative design possibilities. Whether it’s an expansive glass panel or a series of smaller windows, Sing Core’s composite core technology ensures the door’s stability and integrity, regardless of the chosen window configuration.

Conclusion

Crafting doors with windows presents unique challenges that require innovative solutions. Sing Core’s composite core technology provides the ideal answer, offering exceptional structural integrity, insulation, acoustic performance, and design flexibility. With Sing Core, manufacturers and consumers can enjoy the benefits of doors with windows without compromising on quality or durability.

Large Doors by Sing Core

We often mention how amazing Sing Core is for making large, or even massive doors. However, what kind of claim would that be if we couldn’t back it up with proof? In this article we will go over three amazing and massive doors that were made possible by Sing Core, as well as why Sing Core panels are the best, and often the only choice to make large doors possible.

Laserfiche Dual Sliding Doors

The first example of large doors we’ll cover is a set of two sliding doors made for the Laserfiche headquarters in California. The largest of these doors is 102 inches tall by 118 inches wide, or 8.5 feet tall by 9.8 feet wide. The designers and installation crew did an amazing job with these beautiful doors, especially given their unique case of closing off the corner of the room as opposed to a more traditional sliding door setup. You can read more about this project here.

University of Idaho Arena Door

Another recent project that yielded a massive and gorgeous door was this crowd control door for the Idaho Central Arena. This large door measures in at 89.5 inches tall and 120.5 inches wide, or approximately 7.5 feet tall by 10 feet wide. This door acts as both an access point and a traffic control mechanism. When closed, this door simply seals off an area, but by opening it and positioning it as desired, you can divert the massive crowds within the arena onto a new route. Due to its use in a high traffic area, it also needs to be more sturdy and durable than a traditional door, which was made easy with Sing Core. You can read more about this project here.

Giant Pink Door

Though we’ve shown this door off before, it simply can’t be left off of this list. It is a perfect example of a large custom door that simply would not have been possible without Sing Core. This door is 156 inches tall by 36 inches wide, or 13 feet tall by 3 feet wide. In addition to this door’s unique and massive size, it also needed one key feature of Sing Core panels: to be lightweight. This door, unlike most large doors, is mounted on hinges. Typically large doors use rollers or a pivot mechanism, however not this one. As such, it had to be incredibly lightweight for its size, as hinges are far more likely to bend, break, or otherwise develop problems if they are supporting a lot of weight. This door, like all Sing Core doors, is very light compared to traditional options, and yet sacrifices none of the strength.

There are many reasons why you may want to use Sing Core for your large doors, but ultimately what makes our product special is its superior strength, high quality, and low weight. In addition, our panels will never warp or bend, which large doors are especially prone to. Warping is a quick way to permanently ruin a door, but with Sing Core, you can rest easy knowing that it will never happen. In fact, we offer a 50 Year Warp-Free Guarantee as a testament to that fact.

Use Sing Core for your large custom doors, and witness the difference and ease as a result!

The Importance of Lightweight Doors

Why Lightweight Doors Matter

When it comes to large, thick, or custom doors, weight matters a lot. A heavy door can be unwieldy, awkward, or hard to use. In addition, the heavier a door gets, the more complications can arise. These complications can range from minor inconveniences to major failures within the door itself, but regardless, they compromise the quality and function of your door. That’s why we suggest using Sing Core for your large or custom doors, as we make the best lightweight and strong door on the market.

Heavy Door Complications

It’s no stretch of logic to assume that the heavier a door gets, the more risk it poses in a variety of ways. Common issues with heavy doors include difficulty installing or using them, extra strain on hardware, and higher risk of injury. A large, hefty door may sound appealing, but when the mounting hardware bends or breaks under the weight, many things can happen. In the best case scenario, you have to take the door down and replace the hardware. In the worst case scenario, someone can get severely injured. In order to avoid this risk, you need to use heavier grade hardware, which can get increasingly expensive and difficult to come by depending on your door.

Light Door Solutions

If a heavy door causes many problems, then a light door should prevent them. Luckily, it does, and Sing Core doors are the best when it comes to keeping things light and strong. A lighter door has far less wear on its hardware, is much easier to install and operate, and can make the entire process of choosing and installing your custom or large door a lot more enjoyable. For one, you won’t need a team of 8 people to move the giant slab of wood. With a lightweight Sing Core door, you can often transport it with just a handful of people. Plus, with Sing Core doors, you don’t sacrifice strength for weight. Our panels are made with our patented and patent-pending honeycomb core, meaning they remain strong, sturdy, and guaranteed to never warp.

Large Doors

The biggest doors are often the heaviest, and that’s something else Sing Core is great for. Aside from just being lightweight, Sing Core panels provide additional securities when it comes to your large or custom door. The biggest concern with large doors is warping, as the larger surface area is prone to it. Sing Core’s honeycomb panels prevent warping, and we’re so confident in that statement that we offer a 50 Year Warp-Free Guarantee on all of our panels. A warped door can fundamentally ruin a door’s function, structural integrity, and more, and very few door makers can claim their product is free of that concern. Our warranty also promises the structural integrity of your door, so you also never have to worry about that.

Consider using Sing Core for your large, custom, or even standard door project. Interior doors, exterior doors, pivot, sliding, and more are all available through Sing Core.
