Award Winning Project at the University of Idaho

Sing Core Provides Crowd Control Door

The University of Idaho recently had this beautiful crowd control pivot door installed which opens to access the arena and control foot traffic.

Idaho Central Arena

The Idaho Central Arena sees tens of thousands of people for numerous events, and features a basketball court, concert halls, and more. As such, the arena has heavy foot traffic during events, and was in need of a solution. With this crowd control door, they are able to keep an area closed off, then by opening the door instead divert crowds into the desired area. This large, high quality door needed to be lightweight, sturdy, and guaranteed to hold up to heavy traffic, and as such was designed with Sing Core.

What is a Crowd Control Door?

A crowd control door is one of the many functions of pivot doors. Aside from the usual open and close nature, crowd control doors are built to very precise specifications so that, when opened and positioned as intended, direct the flow of people away from one path and onto another. In this case, directing them into the area to watch the game.

Given the intense amount of traffic that crowd control doors see on a daily basis, they can’t ever crack, warp, or bend. If the do, they not only becomes non-functional, but they also become compromises in other essential areas, and lose their safety and traffic-diverting effects. That is why the University of Idaho went with Sing Core.

Proud to be a Part of the Project.

The University of Idaho used Sing Core for their door because we make strong, lightweight, and durable door and wall panels. We are proud to be a part of the arena project, and honored that they chose us to help bring this amazing building to life. The University and design team deserve the Structural Award they’ve received.

Why Sliding Doors are Taking Over the Industry

Sliding Doors are Taking Over

From hinge doors to incredibly unique doors, there are many popular designs to choose from when deciding what kind of front, feature, or office door you want. A style that is becoming increasingly popular is the sliding door.

Why Sliding Doors?

Sliding doors are unique when compared to most other forms of entry on the market, given one main feature: they slide. Obvious, we know, but it’s an important distinction to make, since that one aspect brings a wide range of advantages.

First, a sliding door has a tiny footprint when compared to most other door options. Any entryway that swings out or folds to the side has a functional footprint that is much larger than the door itself, as it usually takes up its full length on two axes. A sliding door does not have that limitation, as instead of swinging open, it instead slides over the wall, over itself, or into a concealed pocket. This greatly reduces its footprint and keeps the surrounding area clear of any “door swing”.

Second, a sliding door offers a few additional options and features over a traditional hinge or pivot door. Sliding doors can be large or small, and the general installation remains the same, whereas particularly large doors of other varieties can require special hardware or reinforcement of the door jam. Sliding doors are also easy to adapt to nearly any setting, with just a few slight modifications. Do you want a sliding door that can lock and secure a room? That can be done with ease. Are you looking for a spectacular door that can open up into a large room in a unique way, like this sliding door as Laserfiche that Sing Core made possible? With a traditional swing door that would be difficult, but with sliding doors, it becomes a beautiful centerpiece that people will talk about for years to come.

And Third, sliding doors are the modern pick. Simply put, swing doors are out and sliding doors are in. If you’re looking for a way to bring some extra flair to a modern build, a sliding door is a great way to do it. They look great, function easily, and fit the streamlined and sleek concept that is taking over so many design trends. Don’t get us wrong, hinge and pivot doors are still fantastic options, and they have their uses, but the modern architect is moving toward sliding doors as the go-to option.

Summary

Sing Core can help create amazing doors of any style, and we by no means want to discourage people from using pivot, hinge, or other door types if that’s what they are set on! When it comes to modern designs, office buildings, and other scenarios where you may want to build a trendy, fun, and sleek atmosphere, sliding doors are the best option. From visuals to functionality, sliding doors are the way of the future, and Sing Core, we can make your sliding door dream a reality!

19′ Pivot Entry Door

 

 

Interior view of extremely large pivot door with hardware

 

Case study:

A 55” wide x 19’ tall x 3.25” pivot door. With differing Cedar and oak wood stave skins.

 

Being approached by a client who is in need of a uniquely large pivot door to withstand the difficult climates of Lake Tahoe can seem like a near impossible feat. This pivot door needed to be lightweight for ease of installation and daily use by the client, impact resistant to hold up to everyday use, sound deadening to drown out the hustle and bustle of everything outside

A pivot door built with patented and patent-pending SingCore inside can make anything possible.

Exterior view of oversize pivot door with hardware

Opposing wood species

Dissimilar wood species on the interior and exterior of the door means differing rates of expansion and contraction. SingCore has the strength and stability to remain rigid against the push and pull of the dissimilar skins.

 

Lightweight oversize door

Lightweight

Now let’s take a look at why this door needs to be lightweight.

First off, big pivots doors tend to be very heavy which makes them more difficult to manage, they require custom made specialized hardware and require a lot of maintenance due to the stress that the pivot door adds to the structure.
Secondly a pivot door is only held with two points of contact on the top and bottom of the pivot door; meaning that if the door warps or twists, the door operation will be degraded or completely fail.

A pivot door this size with a solid core will weigh around 800lbs before any skins are added.
Now with SingCore, this door’s weight is a fraction of what other solid pivot doors would have weighed. This weight savings translates into a reduced overall budget by having lower shipping costs, lower hardware cost and lower cost for the labor of the installation.

Adverse climate for keeping oversize pivot doors straight

Ready for any climate
Lake Tahoe is known for its incredible skiing and breathtaking beauty. Not for its temperate climate.

This pivot door will see outside temperatures as low as 4°F while the inside temperature may be a toasty 76°F, which is a 72° difference.
SingCore pivot, sliding, hinge, and pocket door slabs are fully insulated with your choice of recycled EPS foam core (3.5 R value per inch) or urethane foam core (5.7 R value per inch).

Perfectly straight oversize pocket door

Straight
At 19’ tall this pivot door is as big of a challenge as it gets to keep straight.

All door slabs fabricated by SingCore are completely custom. The SingCore team takes into account the finishing, hardware, and climate when building each core. No two doors are alike. And we take great pains to ensure every pivot, sliding, pocket, and hinge door stays within AWI standards.

We love creating one of a kind oversize doors that no one else can.

Pivot Door 50 Year Guarantee

There have not been many truly significant advances in the manufacturing or pivot doors in the last hundred years, until now, with the invention of patented Sing Core which offers the only pivot door 50 year guarantee for a large custom eco-friendly lightweight high strength door.

Such a door could not be built before. In fact, when the largest door companies were approached with building a large custom pivot door, they turned the job away, because while such a door could be built and look spectacular when installed, it would not be long and the door would fail.

Large custom pivot doors were manufactured by high end millworks willing to do the work and charge the prices commensurate with a high degree of craftsmanship with reliable regular maintenance over the life of the door because the key to making these large pivot doors work over time would require a heavy maintenance schedule to straighten the doors that were known to warp and need repair periodically (potentially every change of season depending on the climate and geographic location of the big pivoting door).

This was the case of every large pivoting door over three-and-a-half feet wide and seven-and-a-half feet tall, especially if they were large wooden pivot doors. Natural wood tends to want to move according to any change in the environment. The result? Large warping pivot doors.

Enter inventor Peter Sing’s patented large pivot door core which empowers high end millworks and the biggest door companies in America to build the biggest lightweight high strength pivot doors in the world that can be

Guaranteed Warp-free for 50 Years

Inventor Peter Sing created a hybrid composite core and anti-warp technology to build large pivot door cores that could support the weight of any exterior material and stay straight and true. Sing’s True Flat Team helps to design and create the perfect door base material to accomplish the goals of the architects, designers, door engineers, artists, and end users, with no risk of warping doors.

The technology is based on a melding of new and old technologies using Sing’s out-of-the-box approach to problem-solving. Start with a basic torsion box design (traditional method of building large flat wooden products) but flip the grain of the torsion box frame on its side so that it lays perpendicular to the stress skins. Then before you apply the stress skins fill all the empty cavities inside the torsion box structure with rigid recycled foam. Cold-press with formaldehyde-free glue for a basic warp-free base material.

That’s the basic formula, but there are type of woods and other building materials which have a greater propensity to warp than others. Sing’s True Flat team reviews each door and determines if extra patented and patent-pending anti-warping technologies will have to be added to the door to keep it from warping, especially if it has a surface material with a greater potential to warp.

The Warp-free Pivot Door 50 Year Guarantee

Is a science which Sing has mastered. And just when you thought that might be all you might expect from any pivot door with Sing Core inside…

But Wait. There’s More…

All of Sing’s pivot doors also have an impressive list of features that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else, except for Sing’s factory located deep in Washington State’s scenic Pacific Northwest. They also offer,

SOUND DEADENING

For added safety and security for you, your family, at work, in scientific, government, and military applications. This is why you see Sing’s core specified in the best soundproof doors.

CLIMATE CONTROL

At least R3.5 per inch (R-value can be increased to match your performance expectations) of Sing Core give’s you more separation from the elements or greater temperature control in heating or cooling environments.

HIGH PRECISION

If you are looking at a lightweight high strength building material, Sing’s core can meet or exceed your precision expectations as it hosts high tolerances throughout (+/- .006 in.).

LOW MAINTENANCE

In side by side comparisons, pivot doors with Sing Core inside require less maintenance over time than any other door because, simply stated, they do not warp, cup, bend, twist, not otherwise fail.

LONG LIFE SPAN

Sing’s doors are designed and built to last for centuries but guaranteed to perform fail-free for 50 years. No other eco-friendly lightweight high strength material can do that.

Add to those characteristics, the following attributes:

LIGHTWEIGHT

A fraction (at least one-third less) the weight of other wood-based cores or their alternatives.

HIGH STRENGTH

Able to span long distances and carry loads with little or no support. Unbelievable unless you’ve had the opportunity to handle a Sing door first-hand.

WARP-FREE

No other material can compare to Peter Sing’s uncanny ability to build doors that just will not warp. Sing Core is the reason door companies, millworks, and custom door manufacturers are back in the business of building large pivot doors again.

50-YEAR GUARANTEE

The only door in the world guaranteed not to warp, fail, or delaminate for 50 years.

This is why more and more you are able to find Sing’s patented tech anywhere from beneath the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between.

Pivot Door | Stronger than Steel Pivot Door

Introducing the only lightweight high strength pivot door in the world that is guaranteed to be flat and stay flat without warping for 50 years, and youcan get it from your favorite pivot door company.

Pivot door. Stronger than steel pivot door

If you want the best pivot door, you want to make sure your pivot door has a modern design. Any pivot door with Sing Core inside can be made to look like any other pivot door weighing in at hundreds or thousands of pounds more, if itweren’t for this amazing pivot door core technology.

Pivot door architects, designers, and engineers are specifying Sing Core in their modern pivot doors for that extra satisfaction that comes from being able to stand behind your product, even if the pivot door system features a very large pivot door.

All pivot doors made with Sing Core inside are hand crafted pivot doors made to exacting standards with the highest tolerances (+/- .006-inch) for high precision appeal that cannot be found elsewhere among lightweight pivot door cores. Whether specifying a commercial door pivot, industrial custom pivot doors, or high end residential custom entry pivot doors, specifying Sing Core makes all the difference.

True flat large pivot doors can be glass pivot doors, or made of any available wood species, steel and glass doors, steel pivot doors, or any combination of custom entry doors, including large size doors.

Our pivot doors are custom made in the USA by artisans, craftsmen, and engineerswho take pride in their ability to deliver the goods when it comes to warp-freedoors that can be guaranteed not to warp.

Your pivot door is a superb, space saving solution, which can be an excellent way to divide two adjoining spaces. When used as pivoting room dividers, you get the added safety, security, and peace of mind that comes with your pivot door being fully insulated. Your insulated pivot door offers added climate control and sound deadening capabilities which couldn’t be achieved without Sing’s patented and patent-pending pivot door technologies.

Millworks love working with our lightweight MDF pivot door blank because it is lightweight, easy to finish, handle and maneuver around the job site without having to use heavy equipment, greatly reducing handling costs throughout the life of the project. Not to mention the money saved by not having to replace or repair the pivot door over the life of the project.

Pivot hinges can be added to your pivot door project in a variety of ways from edge-pivot-hinged (where the pivot door is hinged on one side only) pivoting door as an alternative to the center pivot hinged door that immediately comes to mind when you think of a traditional pivot door.

Large edge pivot doors can feature a man door (a door within a door) for passthrough without having to open the large pivoting door at all. Edge pivot doors have the advantage of offering the as wide an opening as a side-hinged door but are far more elegant and can host a much thicker pivoting door slab.

Modern steel pivot doors are increasingly in demand and Sing Core offers the best solution to the issue of heavy weight of traditional metal pivoting doors providing a lightweight alternative which provides superior high performance. While providing the lighter weight pivoting steel door, the strength is not compromised because Sing’s pivot door core is stronger than steel (660 PSI+) pound for pound.

Now, you can have a high-quality steel door with excellent protection of impact doors with the soundproofing of sound isolation doors without all the bulk and added weight.

Shouldn’t the next door your get from your favorite pivot door company have Sing Core inside? All you have to do is to have your architect specify Sing Core in your pivot door design, or simply tell your custom pivot door manufacturer that you want, “Sing Core inside,” your pivot door.

Then, and only then, you will have the only pivot door that is guaranteed warp-free for 50 years.
