Anything is Possible with Sing Sandwich Panels

The Sing Sandwich panel is a true revolution in the building materials industry and may be one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in the last Century.

No other building material is so versatile with attributes that carry over into your product creation enabling you to build anything lightweight, with high strength and Eco-friendly.

The applications are virtually unlimited!

 New Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)

SIPs are Structural Insulated Panels that are a technology that helped to revolutionize the light construction building industry by using pre-panelized components to build entire structures.

Each Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is manufactured featuring a foam core sandwiched between two OSB (Oriented Strand Board) skins. The thickness of each completed SIP starts at 4-to-6 inches […]

Foam Core Alternative

Sing Core melds the best of two worlds, the lightweight scientific development and the best of nature’s natural resources into Eco-friendly high-tech, space-age advanced composites.

Foam core panels have served the building and construction community well, helping address the issues of weight in large projects. Used as […]

Balsa Wood Alternative

Sing Core is the new space age composite material that is the affordable cousin to Balsa wood and has many features that Balsa wood does not have. Using the best combination of science and nature, patented Sing Core is a Balsa wood hybrid, using a natural vertical wood torsion box design.

Advanced Composites

Sing-composite-panel-core-torsion-box-foam-hybrid-lightweight-high-strengthSing Core technology is manifested in so many ways we’ve tried to narrow down the basics to make the possibilities easy to comprehend.

What are Sing Composites?
Sing Composites are the combining of different abundant raw materials for the greater good. Sing Composites are:

  • Stronger
  • Lightweight
  • Eco-friendly

While reducing:

  • Waste
  • Energy
  • Production costs
  • Labor costs
  • Shipping costs

To understand Sing Core technology, you must understand that in all Sing Core products the Sing Core is the actual core of the product that produces the vast number of characteristics that make up the Sing Core line.

Sing Core with two exterior skins is a Sing Sandwich Panel, adding solid edges makes a Sing Panel. Basically, all the products listed below are Sing Panels, separated into shape, size and dimensional categories and primarily feature wood exteriors, but could be available in nearly any exterior material. We do all this, and make it affordable to have the greatest impact on the world.

All Sing Core products share the same exceptional characteristics.

Best Seller, the most versatile: 2×12

There are three basic formats for demonstrating the attributes of the Sing Core material, they are:

1. Sing Plywood

Sing-composite-engineered-plywood-panels-lightweight-high-strengthSing Plywood enables you to use a lightweight, strong, wooden torsion-box panel empowering you to create anything from basic furniture, large sliding doors or to create affordable housing with unparalleled longevity.

  • available in large almost seamless oversized panels
  • as large as 12 ft wide x 48 ft in length
  • as thin as 1/2 inch
  • Can be as much as 6 inches thick

Oversize Sing Plywood will have the tightest seam that will not shift due to patented technology, making it guaranteed to maintain structural integrity and seal, unlike solid wood.

With an appearance identical to traditional plywood, the physical characteristics are nothing short of shocking in comparison, as Patented Sing Plywood

Sandwich Panels and the Sing Sandwich Panel

sandwich-panels-lightweight-high-strength-stack-sandwich-panelSandwich Panel

Sing Core’s patented green-building material is realized in the Sing Sandwich Panel that increases the strength of the Sing Core by completing the torsion box design. Need more strength? By increasing the thickness of your Sing Sandwich panel by two, the strength is multiplied by four. Four times the strength at very little added weight.

Sing Sandwich Panels are an open-ended Sing Core base sandwiched between two aluminum or wood skins without solid wood or any other material along 4 sides of edges. (See photo to the right.)

Each Sing Sandwich Panel is made of Sing core with wood base skins used as filler. Our Sing sandwich Panel is designed to protect Sing core with wood base skins providing a better bonding surface for adding solid wood block, solid wood edge and final skin resulting in a completed Sing Core Panel.

Standard Sing Sandwich Panel Dimensions:

  • dimension: 12 inch x 48 inch to 4 ft x 8 st
  • thickness from 1/2 inch to 6 inch.

Sing Sandwich Panel Skin Option Examples:

  • plywoodSing sandwich panel
  • solid wood
  • MDF
  • aluminum
  • metal
  • plastic
  • fiber glass
  • cement board
  • concrete
  • ceramic tile
  • glass

… just to name a few, as the possibilities are limited only to any available flat building material.

Applications of Sing Sandwich Panels:

Use as sandwich panel block to drop in any solid wood frame, inbetween two sheets of plywood or any skin materials and cold press with adhesive (in most cases regular carpenter glue will work if it is a wood based skin) to build Sing Core Panels or any other type of Sing products.  The applications are virtually unlimited!

Versatility

Remember, Sing Core technology is completely customizable to your specifications as they are available in any length, any width and any thickness and bonded to any exterior finish.

We are so certain that Sing Core is the solution to your green building challenges that we offer a 100% refund for any prototype order, for those who want to test drive any form of Sing Core products for use in their applications, so you have nothing to lose.

Stronger than Steel, Lighter than Steel.

Your door doesn’t have to be steel to be strong. SINGCORE Metal Composite Panels are stronger and lighter than solid steel panels. SINGCORE Aluminum and Steel Honeycomb Panels are also stronger and lighter than overhead steel garage doors, which can be dented by something as small as a golf ball. Sing offers pricing competitive with steel panels of any type.

Lightweight sandwich panels can look like this without SINGCORE

Lightweight sandwich panels can look like this without SINGCORESIP panels can get wrinkled without SINGCORE

The torsion box core holds the Sing Metal Panel flat so that it will not warp and sag. A 16lb steel hammer will easily dent a steel or vinyl door, but not a Sing Metal Panel. Because Sing panels are efficient to produce, they are more affordable than solid steel panels.

Advantages:

Eco friendly – Sing Core uses more renewable materials than any other type of composite panel. Sing Core also last many times longer than most of its competitors. It takes very little energy to produce Sing Core panels with our recycled and renewable structure material.

 

High Strength – Sing Core is much stronger than paper honeycomb ,aluminum honeycomb, and plastic honeycomb. A 2 in x 2 in piece of Sing Core was tested by the University of Washington and reached 660 PSI. The core grid is more than 10 times the strength of aluminum honeycomb with the same size of grids.

Lightweight – As light as 4 lbs per cubic foot.

True Flat – Sing Core aluminum will stay straight even the drastic swing by temperature and moisture change.

Fully Insulated – With EPS or urethane foam (R3.5-6.5 per inch).

Sound Deadening – Sing Core panels feel like solid wood panels, they do not sound hollow like other types of honeycomb core.

 

Fast Delivery – Any thickness and almost any length, less than 5 ft wide, can be made with in 48 hours if it is rush order.

How to Buy

SINGCORE Metal Composite Panels are easy to order. You may choose from our stock panels or order custom sized panels. Our price is based on the length, width, thickness, and quantity.
