Being Eco-Friendly at Sing Core

Sing Core’s Eco-Friendly Design

Here at Sing Core, we strive to leave the Earth better than we found it. That philosophy drives our material sourcing, production methods, and many more aspects about how we run as a company.

Eco-Friendly Sourcing

When it comes to our wood, insulation, and other materials, we source them from the most eco-friendly places we can find. For example, the wood we use is renewable, and our insulation isn’t shredded fiberglass. Our panels are crafted to be high quality, long lasting, and strong, but we don’t sacrifice our Earth-conscious promises to achieve that.

 

Lower Emissions

Another way we keep our impact on the Earth in check is through lowering our emissions through local production. We are an all American company, and every one of our panels are made in Washington State. By staying local and keeping business in the country, we not only promote and help the economy, but also the environment, as we have significantly lower emissions and fuel consumption compared to companies that outsource their production. Shipping product, especially large custom pieces, can be incredibly time consuming and uses a lot of fuel. This fuel burning can harm the atmosphere, and in some cases, spills and damages can dump toxic gas and oil into the delicate ecosystems in the oceans. Sing Core doesn’t contribute to this damage on the planet, as we keep our production local.

No-Burn Factory

Many factories burn trash, chemicals, or other harmful materials in their production process. These places often have smoke columns and plumes of thick, dark smoke to mark where they are. At Sing Core, we don’t burn anything in our panel production. There is nothing in our process that requires burning, melting, or anything of the sort, and as such our impact on the atmosphere is near zero.

 

Better Product = Less Waste

Not to gloat, but Sing Core panels are incredibly strong. Not only that, they last a very long time, and even come with a 50 Year Structural and Warp-Free Guarantee. This may seem like a sales pitch, but it actually plays into our environmentally friendly mission. By creating panels that last a long time and can be easily repaired, we greatly reduce the amount of waste from replacing or scrapping projects. Every time a door needs replaced, it ends up in a landfill, or at best parts of it get recycled. With a Sing Core panel, you won’t have to worry about replacing the door any time soon, which in turn cuts down on our impact on the environment.

Sing Core strives for many things, such as creating the best door and wall panels on the market. But in these endeavors, we will never lose sight of the importance of being eco-friendly. We are also always looking for ways to lessen our impact even more, and are working to join the list of companies that can proudly say they’ve made a difference.

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!

We can make any lightweight cold rolled steel panel to your specifications, in any length, any width and any thickness.

Compared with stainless steel plate, stainless steel composite offers increased formability and lighter weight and facilitating installation and handling. Due to the extreme toughness of stainless steel, special fabrication guidelines need to be taken into consideration.

Steel sounds heavy already as we hear the word, but ways to make it lighter are now available. It is not a modification of the material as such but the smart hybridizing of steel with a lightweight honeycomb structure that makes “steel” less massive.

Sing Core Cold Rolled Steel panels consist of two cold rolled stainless steel face sheets enclosing the patented sing core. This innovative core material structurally produces an extremely lightweight panel sporting a true flat surface that excells in both heat and sound reductive properties. Practical applications include decoration of elevators, yachts, exterior an dinterior walls of buildings.

 

Singcore aluminum honeycomb panels are much stronger than any other sandwich panel due to their torsionbox core grids.

Steel is one of the most common engineering materials in the world. It is a fundamental resource used in a variety of industries for constructing buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, appliances or weapons. It is known for centuries as an incredibly strong and tough construction material.

The Sing Advantage

The manufacturing of Sing Square Logs starts with quality Douglas fir, western red cedar, or pine taken either from small logs or pre-milled lumber. The lumber is then dried in Sing Home’s kilns until the moisture content is stabilized at around 12%.

Our patented sawing technique is used to produce quarter-sawn, all vertical or straight grain wood strips from the lumber, with their internal stress relieved. The strips are then laminated with non-toxic glue to form one side of the Sing Square Log. Two laminated “‘walls”, with their wanes and imperfections turned inside, are then joined together with wood spacers and metal fasteners to form a single log assembly.

 The quarter-sawn, vertical grain laminates give the Sing Square Log its remarkable dimensional stability— with virtually no shrinking, checking or splitting.

About Our Logs

Most lumber available is plain sawn (also called flat sawn), which produces the maximum yield and therefore the greatest economy. Plain-sawn lumber has varying grain orientations— the annual growth rings can run parallel, diagonal or perpendicular to the face of the board. This variation causes un-even drying and the board has a greater tendency to warp (cup, twist, and bow). The board will also shrink considerably in thickness as well as width.

Quarter sawing produces lumber with annual growth rings running almost perpendicular to the face of the board. Boards with consistent vertical grain orientation tend to remain flat despite changes in moisture content. This dimensional stability gives quarter-sawn lumber its most desirable quality. Quarter-sawn lumber also has superior ability to hold paints and stains. Vertical grain lumber commands a high premium because quarter sawing requires more time and skill but yields less board footage.

Easy Assembly

The Sing Square Log’s thick double wall provides the thermal mass to absorb, store and slowly release heat over time. This means that it takes a long time for temperature outside a Sing Log Home to change the temperature inside.

Building with Sing Square Logs

Building with Sing Square Log is simple and straightforward. The first layer of logs is anchored to the foundation with the supplied 1/2″ thick steel plates.

Subsequent layers are stacked up by applying construction adhesive to the double T&G logs, then fastening them with the supplied Olylog© screws.

Two laminated ‘walls’, with their wanes and imperfections turned inside, are then joined together with wood spacers and metal fasteners to form a single log assembly.
