Sliding Door Design

Your sliding door design is limited only by your imagination. Architects and designers love adding sliding doors to spaces for visual impact and improved functionality. Many options cover the landscape of design possibilities when considering adding sliding doors to a particular design. Some of the most popular sliding door designs include single sliding doors, double sliding doors, stacking sliding doors, pivot sliding doors, sliding barn doors, floating doors and pocket doors, just to name a few, while large sliding doors may comprise complete sliding walls and may be used as sliding room dividers.

The only 50 year warp-free guarantee and full structure warranty

Imagine Your Sliding Door Design

The strength of contemporary architecture design is in the creativity limited only by the imagination of the individual envisioning the concept, look and feel of the project at hand. In a perfect world, your sliding door visualizations and ideas translate well to the real world. In many cases what is seen in the mind’s eye exceeds (sometimes far exceeds) the limitations of available building materials, time or budget constraints (because any sliding door design is possible given enough time and money).

Limitations of Sliding Door Design

When translating visionary sliding doors to the real world, certain limitations are imposed on those with their feet on the ground, whose responsibility it is to bring your sliding door dream to life. These limitations include such things as the Law of Physics and the specific characteristics of the available materials used to materialize your most exquisite sliding door design.

Our team of best sliding door professionals have years of experience trouble-shooting and solving the problems associated specifically with unique sliding door designs. Here are some of the problems associated with sliding doors which we can provide solid solutions for (including our 50 year warp-free guarantee) regardless of the size, style or functionality of your sliding door design.

Sliding Door Sizes

Sliding doors, just like any other type or style of doors, vary in accordance with the materials used and the overall size of the door which determines the weight of the door. Large oversized sliding doors, particularly those over 7 ft. tall are so entirely problematic that no door company will warranty them for more than one year because they cannot maintain optimum precision or door performance over time due to the sliding door’s mass. Yet, even large exterior sliding doors with SingCore inside can be fully guaranteed for 50 years not to fail, regardless of size (up to 50 ft.). So, now you can release the previous limitations concerning size and embrace the idea of very large sliding doors, even floor to ceiling sliding doors and sliding partition walls that will make your design shine for years to come.

Sliding Door Weight

Sliding doors best operate within a delicate balance between size and weight, where weight can cause problems associated with the structure, the sliding door hardware, and the regular trouble-free operation of the sliding door. SingCore’s highly specialized staff can help to engineer doors to be lightweight (1/3rd or more the weight) of other solid core doors.

How do you make such a lightweight door? We use patented insulated Sing reinforced vertical grain torsion box core inside which makes the resulting door so much lighter than other solid core doors. Fore instance one door company replaced a series 25 foot tall sliding doors weighing in at 1,100 lbs. with Sing 25 foot sliding doors weighing in at a mere 198 lbs.

Sliding Door Hardware

Next up is the sliding door hardware, which is also most closely associated with the sliding door weight. In fact, the weight of the sliding door dictates which hardware is to be used. In the case of heavy sliding doors, heavy duty industrial sliding door hardware must be used. In the case of heavy sliding doors, the sliding door hardware can be the most expensive part of the sliding door design, costing many times the price of the sliding door itself. Also, regular use of a heavier sliding door will create maintenance problems with the sliding door hardware over time.

Sliding Door Warp

A warping sliding door is problematic in that it can not only compromise the operation of the sliding door itself but also can create additional strain on hardware and damage other surfaces which parallel the sliding door. In the case of a sliding door concealed within a cavity, like a pocket sliding door, a warped sliding door can become entirely inoperable.

This is particularly common in wood sliding doors due to the nature of the natural wood grain; it moves. Even though wood grain is the most prevalent culprit in on site sliding door failures, sliding doors made of other materials may also warp as designers, engineers and contractors attempt to mitigate the problems associated with the weight of heavy sliding doors by creating a lightweight composite sliding door. Though the issue of weight is addressed, the strength of the door is only as strong as its sliding door core material. Therefore, lightweight composite sliding doors made of other materials besides natural wood are subject to failure due to warping also.

Sliding Door Solution

SingCore is the premiere one-of-a-kind solution to all problems associated with sliding doors, eliminating the challenges of:

WEIGHT – HARDWARE – WARP

While adding attribute inherit with having patented SingCore inside, such as

LIGHTWEIGHT – HIGH STRENGTH – INSULATION – WARP-FREE

And the Sing Core is only solution fully backed by our

50 YEAR WARP-FREE SLIDING DOOR GUARANTEE

Which includes full structure warranty for 50 years. No other siding door can do that, unless it has premium SingCore inside, helping not only to bring your sliding door designs to life but deliver to you and your customers the most insulated airtight lightest and strongest sliding door available today, guaranteed.

Bifold Doors Weatherproof Wood Garage Door

Many exterior doors – especially wood exterior doors – are problematic due to the nature of being exposed to the weather and environmental changes of heat and moisture. Exterior facing doors become even more challenging if they are over 7 ft tall or 3 ft wide.

Coast to Coast these warp-free wood exterior doors are not just beautiful in their appearance but are the highest precision insulated lightweight, high strength doors in the world, and they’re proudly made in the USA.

Even the most expensive high-end large door cannot be warranted not to fail if it is over 10 ft tall and/or 4 ft wide. The most exclusive millworks and custom door manufacturers will agree to make the door to architectural door specifications, but will offer no warranty, because, they say

All Doors Warp

The most savvy door manufacturers refer to SingCore to help build the doors using Premium Sing Door Blanks available in any size for any type of door, if the client demands having the best door in the world.

Large Warp Free Wood Exterior Doors

SingCore has solved the problems associated with large exterior door fails, by providing millworks and door manufacturers with the most high precision (+/- .006 in) insulated warp free lightweight high strength door core, that can be made in any size and all doors styles.

Large bifold doors exterior warp free wood doors hinged carriage doors insulated

For instance, these carriage doors are bifold doors that feature all the characteristics of having SingCore inside. The best proof is large wood exterior doors facing both Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as we work with the best door companies from coast to coast in the USA. In this example, the exterior wood doors in this home are all perfectly straight on these weatherproof non-warping doors, even though they feature wood stave on the exteriors exposed to the moisture, sun, wind and rain of coastal weather patterns. Still these doors can be fully guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including structure) for a full 50 years. That’s right

Guaranteed for 50 Years

Make a Whole Wall Disappear

Then there’s this case; What if you wanted the whole exterior wall to be a door. Here’s a job where the client wanted to whole exterior wall converted to bifold doors. No problem, if they have Sing Core inside.

Just an ordinary exterior wall. Right?

Extraordinary exterior bi fold doors!

Plus, if your invisible door has Sing Core inside, you get the added safety and security of having a fully insulated sound deadening folding retractable wall which is also highly effective in maintaining consistent temperature control on either side of the building, inside or outside.

Large 14 ft x 12 ft exterior opening with (2) 14 ft x 6 ft insulated hinged doors

Large garage doors are the best example of what can be possible with would have previously been thought of as impossible doors. That is to say doors that were too large were assumed to have problems because all big doors fail. Even so, to minimize failure, they are manufactured using very heavy materials and expensive hardware to mitigate the failing doors, only to add more stress and strain on the existing structure. In this regard, the big door business is lucrative, due to the ongoing maintenance contracts associated with large door problems.

Insulated Doors

True space separation between two adjoining areas (i.e., interior and exterior) is a difficult expectation for any door. Even though a door might looks attractive from a distance, the truth of the matter is seen from the other side of the door. The built-in insulation inside the patented Sing door core not only provides effective climate control, but offers advanced sound deadening qualities. Sing door cores have been used inside soundproof doors and everything from bulletproof doors and fireproof doors.

Save Energy

Why waste energy by having a door that doesn’t seal properly as your exterior door? Everyone knows that a good door seal helps prevent energy loss saving on energy consumption. Having warp-free doors means your doors seal properly without leaking every time, regardless of the season, temperature or time of day. You can save energy – not only from the insulated that is packed inside for better temperature control – but also from having a secure door seal that does not fail due to warping, if your door has SingCore inside.

Sliding Door or Pivot Door

Reduced to its simplest form, these insulated warp-free doors could also be exterior sliding doors and/or exterior pivot doors with all the same great characteristics that come with having SingCore inside.

Click to see: Sliding Doors and/or Pivot Doors

Inside Or Outside

Only SingCore can accomplish all this – and more – providing you with the strongest, lightweight, insulated door core that can be guaranteed not to fail for a full 50 years , including warp-free and structure guarantee. No other door company can guarantee their doors, like that, unless they have SingCore inside.

If doors with SingCore inside can obtain such high performance standards as exterior doors, imagine having doors to match throughout your entire house, because our patented door core also makes the best interior doors for your home’s inside points of egress. If we can guarantee your exterior door for 50 years, we could guarantee your inside doors for 100 years.

Why not have the best?

Specify, “SingCore inside,” for all your doors.

Why Sing Core is the perfect solution for problem doors lightweight high strength non warp doorSee also: How to Build a Sing Door

How Does the Sing OEM Process Work?

Establishing the Need of Sing Core

There are many reasons that door manufacturers seek out patented Sing Core as their OEM door substrate; some of the most popular ones are:

Sing doorway to a better door 50 year non warp guaranteeCreating a Superior Door Line

Some door manufacturers are looking for ways to distinguish themselves from other door manufacturers. They seek out an OEM relationship with Sing Core to design and build an ultra premium line of doors that have unique characteristics that cannot be found by using any other door substrate material.

BIG Door

Many door manufacturers have problems with large doors (especially over 7 ft. tall) in that while they look magnificent upon installation, dealing with door warp on a regular basis is a constant maintenance cost associated with big doors.

Oversized large paint grade Sing pivot door panelThis is where Sing Core door substrates shine because the substructure of the core itself is a combination of wood torsion box (using vertical grain matrix framing) filled with recycled rigid foam creates a lightweight, high strength solid substrate that will retain its original shape and structural integrity over time; higher precision and lasts longer than any other known door building material.

That’s why more and more, you are finding Sing Core™ inside some of the biggest aircraft hangar doors, large sliding barn doors, factory doors, large commercial doors, warehouse doors and large garage doors.

Non-warp Door

Sing Core™ is the only door core material that enables our door manufacturers to deliver doors that do not warp regardless of size or external materials in either interior and/or exterior doors, if they are designed by our Non-warp True Flat Specialists. Sing Non-warping door blanks are available in any type, style, shape, exterior skin and/or composite configuration.

Insulated Door

Rumney Guggenheim Gallery Williamsburgh Savings BankInsulated doors offer enhanced separation between two areas separated by an opening, doorway or egress point. Sing Core insulation starts at R3.5 per inch and goes up from there, based on architectural specifications. Insulated door are of primary interest to architects, designers and engineers seeking soundproof door, hurricane doors* or other weatherproof door where an insulated door is specified.

Security Doors

Sing Core is of primary importance in security doors of substantial size. Large security doors are difficult to manage normally due to weight; this problem can be solved with the Sing solution. A security door can be used in a variety of circumstances and applications including impact doors, and bulletproof doors.

Television-studio-moveable-sound-walls-sound-proofUsing Sing Core™ inside, impact resistant doors don’t have to be heavy weight, which causes unnecessary stress and strain on both the hardware and structure, while delivering all the security desired including increased privacy due to innate door insulation.

Specialty Doors

Sometimes a custom door manufacturer, millwork or door manufacturer faces a job that requires doors with unique attributes to accommodate a particular usage following installation.

Specialty doors may need particular characteristics to meet the requirements of the end user. Architects, designers and engineers can use Eco-friendly Sing Core™ inside to have greater control over:

Sliding Doors Sliding Barn Doors

People often come to us and ask, “How can you make the best sliding doors in the world?”

The answer is as simple as, “Anyone can make the best sliding door in the world, if you start with the best door core in the world.”

With Sing Door Core at the heart of your sliding door, you start with the best component to build your sliding doors.

You will find that this new patented technology is more affordable than other traditional building materials that you may be using now. View our online comparison and see our new C Series line of Affordable Barn Door and Sliding Closet Doors.

We have discovered – that if you’re like our most discriminating sliding door clients – what attributes you desire in your sliding door. If so, here’s what you want:

I want a sliding door that is lightweight.

One of the reasons that sliding doors fail is due to the fact that they are too heavy for the hardware to adequately handle the stress of slinging a sliding door back and forth over time. Another issue with weight (especially for large sliding doors) is strain on the structure itself, which could compromise the home or building that hosts your sliding door.

I want a sliding door that is strong.

Many sliding doors that are regularly available via retail outlets may be lightweight, but if they are, usually cannot take much abuse. That’s why house rental agencies are constantly replacing sliding doors in-between renters. It doesn’t take much to damage a standard sliding door, and if they could be repaired it would be cost-prohibitive but you could never repair that sliding door to achieve its original strength.

Sliding-Doors-big-large-oversize-sliding-doors

I want a sliding door that will last.

Unless you like to replace your sliding doors periodically, why should you? If your sliding door was built like any other sliding door, then it will likely bend, warp or twist over time. Especially if you have twin sliding doors; you want your sliding doors to be straight and true for the long haul.

I want my sliding doors to provide some privacy.

Most people who have had experience with run of the mill sliding door don’t expect much in the way of privacy. When sliding door customers are looking for sound-deadening sliding doors, they find Sing Core for a variety of applications, including sound proof sliding doors.

I want a sliding door that is not going to let the heat out.

Energy savers know that in most cases, a sliding door is the weakest point of energy loss. Sing sliding doors are packed with insulation to keep the environments on either side of the sliding door uncompromised.
Is there such a thing as an Eco-friendly sliding door?

Yes, in this day and age, planet conscious individuals are seeking out ecologically responsible components and Sing sliding doors are the only affordable Eco-friendly, lightweight high-strength insulated doors that are designed to last for years without compromise.

We humbly agree with our high-end clientele that we do help build the best sliding doors in the world. Only sliding doors built with Sing Core are Eco-friendly, lightweight, strong, insulated, and designed to last for lifetimes, yet extremely affordable compared to other high-tech composite materials that just do not deliver the goods when it comes to high end sliding doors.

It was important for the customer that the doors fit their doorway shape and be easy to roll. These sliding doors have a patented torsion box foam core that will keep them lightweight and smooth rolling. The series of three rolling doors link together and slide so easily that one person can push it open with just one finger.
