About Sliding Doors

Sliding doors come in all kinds of configurations. Most sliding doors hang suspended from sliding door hardware above, others are rolling slider doors which roll along a wheeled track underneath the sliders. While others may use both suspension and rollers in tandem. Some sliding doors slide to the inside, some on the outside, and others are hidden when slid into a vacant cavity within a wall. We call those hidden sliding doors “pocket doors.”

Regardless of what type of sliding door you have, it must maintain a degree of straightness, or it will fail. If it is not straight it will rub against its neighboring surface and cause damage or may get stuck. The biggest problems with sliding doors are associated with big sliding doors, especially any sliding door that is over three and a half ft. wide and 7 ft. tall. These are the most problematic, and the bigger the sliding door, the bigger the potential for serious problems.

About Sliding Doors with Sing Core Inside

Sliding doors which are made using the patented and patent-pending Sing Core technologies are celebrated around the world as being the best Sliding doors in the world.

Why Do You Need Sing Core Inside Your Sliding Door?

Sliding Door Problem

Because properly functioning sliding doors can only be in contact with your door opening at the points where your rollers are mounted, there is a higher obligation for your doors to  be free of defects throughout the life of the door.  When a sliding door warps, bends, twists, or skews, it can cause severe limitations on the function of the door.  Because the door must open and close in the available space, warping means your doors not be able to properly slide on the tracks.  Large, over-sized sliding doors, over seven feet in either direction, are much more susceptible to warping, because of the way doors react to environmental conditions.

Lighter doors mean less costly hardware.

When producing custom doors with traditional materials (wood, lvl, and other heavy materials), much of your costs will go into the hardware itself, which can cost over a $1000 for some doors. Opting for a Sing Panel saves on this cost, and also reduces labor installation.

Backed by a 50 year warp-free guarantee.

Our professional and hot-press-ready Sing Panels are guaranteed for 50 years so you don’t have to worry about warp, twist or rot. This technology is solving sliding door design solutions for Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and the Pope, especially when the application calls for extra strength, oversize or true flat… without compromising weight for strength

Wood Stave vs. Wood Ply

Wood stave doors can be very costly to make, especially if you’re looking for a lightweight high strength solution for a warp-free guarantee for 50 years. Using Sing Core inside your wood stave door featuring wood planks from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch will create more potential for warp due to the nature of natural wood grain. This is the beauty of the more economical wood ply option for building your wood door. Wood ply is far less expensive and has alternating grain orientation which also helps to keep the door straight. Wood plywood is just like any other plywood except for its featuring a particular wood grain predominantly on the surface, and it offers far more strength and reparability over time than a less expensive wood veneer. So, if you’re looking to attain similar visual results of a solid wood door at a fraction of a price you might consider having Sing Core inside your wood plywood door. Be certain to specify what type of natural wood plywood your want, if it is available, you can save thousands of dollars on your beautiful wood door. The most popular wood plywood features woods such as white oak plywood, maple plywood, oak plywood, mahogany plywood, walnut plywood, Douglas fir plywood, knotty pine plywood, and birch plywood just to name a few.
