Sing Core Optional Features and Upgrades

Sing Core panels are a versatile and quality solution to the majority of door, wall, and other construction or design projects. While we have our standard honeycomb panels, there are a few additional features that are available which may prove useful in some circumstances. Most customizations or options can be discussed and designed to match your project goals during the quoting process, but here are just a few of the common options or upgrades we offer:

Skin Types

One of the main sources of variety to our panels is our vast selection of skin types. These are essentially the finishing touch on our door and wall panels, in which we cover the core with high quality and visually appealing skins. These can be anything from wood staves to a vinyl wrap and more, all depending on the job at hand. Click here to see our full selection of skins.

Insulation, Sound Reduction, and Thickness

We recently wrote about the sound reduction and deadening qualities of Sing Core panels here, so we’ll only touch on that part briefly. Sing Core uses high end insulation to fill all voids within our panels, meaning there are no thin spots to compromise the insulation’s integrity or function. This means that, unlike most standard doors, a Sing Core door won’t sap the heat from your climate-controlled home or office and cause your heating bill to skyrocket. Another advantage of this insulation method is a sound reducing nature. The better insulated a door or wall panel is, the less sound it lets through it. A thicker panel also shares this benefit. Thus, by using a Sing Core panel to create doors or walls for a sound studio, you can choose the strength of sound reduction you’d like by adjusting the thickness of the panels you order. Thin panels will provide some sound reduction, and thicker panels will result in near complete sound deadening.

Security Features

Sing Core panels are incredibly strong and durable, but sometimes you may want a little bit more peace of mind regarding the safety of what is behind your new door. Sing Core offers two main ways to improve the security of your door, either with a metal skin or with our new Sing Core Security Door. A metal skin offers improved protection to the surface of the door, which can be helpful when it comes to someone attempting to break or cut through it. Our Security Door, however, includes a grid of steel bars running throughout the panel, massively increasing the strength of the door, while also drastically increasing the time it would take someone to cut or break through. In terms of protection, the metal skin protects the door itself, and the Security Door internal support protects your home or office by preventing someone from getting through. Combining these two features creates an even better, incredibly strong door that would bring a would-be intruder to tears.

Customizable Shape

The last, but most common option when it comes to customizing our door and wall panels is the shape and size. We want to make sure you aren’t limited merely by maximum size or standard shape. We can build a panel to nearly any specifications, whether it be large, small, straight, rounded, with a window cutout, and many more customization options. When planning out your door and sending us the details, we encourage you to design the best door you can, and we’ll provide the best panel on the market.

Sing Core panels come in many shapes and sizes, quite literally. There are also additional features to consider when ordering from us, and this article doesn’t even cover all of the customizable options. Feel free to examine our website or reach out with any questions regarding your door or wall panel needs, and we look forward to working with you!

Advantages of Sing Core for Commercial Applications

The Advantages of Sing Core for Commercial Applications

Sing Core has many uses and advantages in both home and commercial applications, though we tend to think more of the home applications than those in the office. We often undervalue the importance of things such as doors in the workplace, though they are essential to the daily operation and safety of our businesses.

Doors in the Workplace

The first type of door people often think of in the workplace is the front, back, or “entry/exit” doors. These are incredibly important when it comes to the safety and operation of a business, yes, but there are many more types of doors that are commonplace in commercial industries. One other common type is the standard interior, or office door. There are also “feature doors”, which are usually large, grand, and beautiful doors that act as the opening between important areas or large rooms (see this fantastic double sliding door at Laserfiche as an example). The other common types of door are security doors, room dividers, and more. Sing Core has experience making each of these, and our panels make an excellent choice for them.

The Advantages of Sing Core

While Sing Core’s benefits in the home and professional market are similar at their core, there are some features that excel in the industrial and business sectors. One such advantage is the ability to make large, custom, and lightweight doors with our patented core. Many businesses make use of these beautiful doors as their entry, or as a feature inside, but standard construction options lead to them being incredibly heavy, or come with many other downsides. Sing Core specializes in large doors, and we make them significantly lighter than other methods, while still retaining incredible strength and durability. Our panels are also guaranteed to remain warp-free and structurally sound for 50 years, so you never have to worry about your large custom door warping and becoming unusable on you.

Another major advantage to using Sing Core in the workplace is the insulating and sound-deadening properties of our panels. In a situation where privacy is important, like you’d expect in meeting rooms or offices where confidential information is shared, you need to ensure the security of that information with a door that reduces or eliminates the sound that passes through it. Sing Core doors do this incredibly well, as our insulated honeycomb design naturally muffles sound. This also makes it a must have for businesses close to a busy street, as the passive street sound can be a detriment to a workplace.

In addition to the sound-deadening nature, we also offer a Sing Core Security Door for applications where safety and protection are essential. If your business holds high-end electronics in specific rooms, or perhaps you have sensitive documents and information, you need to ensure that the door you use to secure those areas can hold up to any attempt to break in. A Sing Core Security Door is reinforced with steel bars to guarantee the safety of what you hold on the other side.

Summary

Sing Core products deliver many valuable properties to both home and commercial applications, and we encourage you to reach out to learn more about how Sing Core can fit in at your home or office!

What Else Can You Use Sing Core For?

Other Uses for Sing Core

Sing Core panels make amazing door and wall panels for a variety of applications, but what other uses do they have? We already know they’re the best choice for large or custom lightweight doors, or incredibly sturdy walls, but Sing Core has a wide range of other applications.

Tables or Countertops

One of the more common non-door things we Sing Core panels used for is as a table or countertop. Our products work incredibly well for this, as some cases call for a very lightweight and easy to move surface, or others demand a large, custom-shaped table for places like a conference room. Either way, Sing Core panels work great for these applications. You can have the sturdy, warp-free, and high-quality aspects of a Sing Core door, but for your table or counter!

Mobile Cabinets or Containers

There are many different cases where one might need a mobile cabinet or container. Some businesses have rolling cabinets for secure equipment storage, while others need a durable and strong container that can be hauled from location to location. In the case of a storage cabinet, Sing Core works amazingly as it keeps the unit lightweight while also providing rigidity and security that normal, thin cabinet wood does not. Plus, with our new Security Door panel, this can take a cabinet from secure to impenetrable. Businesses that are constantly moving high-end electronics or sensitive documents can make especially good use of a Sing Core storage solution.

As for the case of strong containers meant to be hauled from place to place, Sing Core is again an excellent choice. People or businesses that find themselves regularly transporting hefty or large items may be looking for a reusable container that can guarantee protection for the cargo, without adding much to the weight of it.

Furniture

Sing Core panels can be made to unique sizes and shapes, allowing them to be used for miscellaneous furniture or similar applications. Sing Core has been used to make bunk beds, dressers, storage pieces, and more. This allows for the furniture to be transported incredibly easily, as it would weigh a fraction of a normal unit of the same furniture. We even use furniture made from Sing Core products in our own office, and they are still holding strong and working incredibly well.

Floors

We often think of Sing Core panels being used as doors and walls, but they work just as well as floors. Particularly the floors of upper building levels, as they are incredibly lightweight, but have the structural integrity to withstand walking on. If you’re building a tiny house or some other small structure, using Sing Core for your upper floors may be your best bet, as it allows for easy construction and transportation.

And More!

Sing Core is more than just a door or wall panel, it’s a core that can be used in nearly any aspect of construction. Floors, stairs, furniture, and much more become a possibility with Sing Core. Plus, you still get our 50-Year Structural Guarantee, so you know you won’t need to do any replacing for a long time. When you look around at the things around you or think of new project ideas, consider Sing Core to make it the best it can be!

Sing Core Security Door

Sing Core Security Doors

Your front door is the gateway between your home, family, and belongings, and the outside world. Nowadays, it’s not enough to just protect your home from the elements, your door needs to provide safety and security for you as well. Sing Core’s new Security Door provides the same durable and high quality comforts you’re already familiar with, with added protection against intrusion.

What is a Security Door?

A Security Door is used to provide additional protection and peace of mind over what a standard door can do. Whether used as an exterior door, an interior door, or even a garage door, our Security Door can bring this added safety to your home or business.

Sing Core door panels are already incredibly strong, resilient, and guaranteed to last, and we stand by those qualities. However, intruders are constantly looking for ways to bypass the protection provided by traditional doors. These methods can include using anything from a chainsaw, to a circular saw, to an axe. While we trust in the strength of our standard core, with enough time and strong enough tools, even they can be cut through. With our new Security Door, that changes.

Why Choose a Sing Core Security Door?

Sing Core Security Door Panels come with our patented high-quality honeycomb core and rigid steel reinforcements. The honeycomb core provides insulation, strength, and sound-deadening features, while also remaining incredibly lightweight. By adding the steel reinforcements, we double down on the strength and durability of the panel, making it incredibly difficult to cut or break through. Plus, the door remains impressively light for the quality it provides.

A traditional door can be cut through in less than a minute, and while it would often make a lot of noise, these break-ins are often done when no one is home, meaning you won’t be there to catch them in the act. Cutting through a Sing Core Security Door with the same tools would take substantially longer, and brings other challenges to the intruder, such being much louder, the likelihood of breaking a tool on the unexpected metal reinforcement, and a significantly higher chance of being caught.

In addition, these doors can be used in many cases aside from the standard front door scenario. Businesses with expensive equipment or sensitive documents may want to secure them in a more effective way, and luxury car owners may want a garage door that can’t simply be kicked in or cut through. You could even use Sing Core Security Panels to build a mobile and lightweight cabinet for on-the-go secure storage.

 

When it comes to your home, security is not an area where “good enough” is all you need. There are many ways you can improve the safety and security of your home, and installing a Sing Core Security Door is one of the most effective options. A break-in happens every 26 seconds in the United States, reaching 2.5 million break-ins every year, with over half being home burglaries. Let’s keep your homes and businesses off of that list.
