Your Client Requested a Custom Door, Now What?

When an architect is tasked with designing a custom door for a project, there are a number of factors that must be considered in order to ensure that the end result is not only visually pleasing, but also functional and durable. One solution that has been gaining popularity among architects is the use of Sing Core in unique and custom door designs.

What is Sing Core?

Sing Core is a composite material that is made using our patented honeycomb core, resulting in a lightweight yet incredibly strong and stable material. It is particularly well-suited for use in door design due to its ability to resist warping, cracking, and other forms of damage that can be caused by environmental hazards and use.

When working with Sing Core, architects have a wide range of design options available to them. The material can be made to fit virtually any size or shape, and can be finished with a variety of materials and finishes to match the surrounding decor. Additionally, Sing Core is an environmentally friendly material, as it is made from sustainably harvested wood and does not contain any harmful chemicals or other elements.

How to Use Sing Core for Custom Doors

There are a number of ways in which an architect can incorporate Sing Core into a custom door design. For cases where a large, shaped, or abnormally scaled door is needed, you can simply provide those specifications to us during the order, and we’ll make the panel entirely custom for you. Or, if you need a high quality core to build your own custom design on top of, Sing Core works great for that as well. You can request a panel without a skin or finishing, allowing you to put your own artistry on it. You can also attach Sing Core panels together to create massive doors, should they be required. Either of these options result in a door that is both strong and visually appealing, with a high degree of customizability in terms of size, shape, and finish. There are also several optional features you can request when ordering a Sing Core panel.

Perks of Sing Core for Custom Doors

Regardless of the specific design approach chosen, the use of Sing Core in custom door design offers a number of benefits to architects and their clients. First and foremost, Sing Core doors are incredibly strong and durable, making them ideal for use in high-traffic areas or in locations where security is a concern. Additionally, the lightweight nature of Sing Core means that these doors can be easily installed and operated, reducing the risk of damage during the installation process or excess wear on the hardware.

Another benefit of using Sing Core in custom door design is its ability to resist warping and other forms of damage that can be caused by changes in temperature and humidity. This makes Sing Core doors ideal for use in areas with high levels of moisture or temperature fluctuations, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or areas exposed to direct sunlight. In fact, Sing Core is one of, if not the only product on the market that offers a 50 Year Guarantee against warping. That warranty also covers structural failure, so you can rest assured that this will last your client a very long time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the use of Sing Core in custom door design offers architects a number of benefits, including strength, durability, and customizability. Whether used as a core material or as a veneer, Sing Core doors are an excellent choice for any project that requires a high degree of customization and durability. With their unique combination of strength, stability, and beauty, Sing Core doors are sure to be a popular choice among architects and their clients for years to come.

Architectural Door Definition

Architectural Door Definition

An architectural door is one that is designed by an architect with a particular form, function, and aesthetic feel to it that might appear as though it were solid wood, metal, stone, opaque glass, or other natural or manmade material. An architectural door consists of an architectural panel designed and finished according to the architectural specifications, articulating with hardware to provide access or hide and reveal specific features or locations in or around a structure for a distinct application.

Advanced technologies offer nearly unlimited opportunities for architects to let their creative abilities to flourish in the architectural door arena, as projects that were restricted by the limitations of certain building materials can now be overcome by composite and hybrid technologies.

Now, door architectural doors can be made of nearly any material or in any size without having to compromise the architectural door’s integrity. Architectural doors can be made to be lighter in weight, much stronger, with higher precision, insulated, and guaranteed not to warp, twist, cup, or otherwise fail (including structure and lamination) for up to 50 years.

Architects are no longer limited by archaic rules and limitations, thanks to new and emerging technologies such as patented Sing Core substrate which empowers door designers to imagine and create doors of magnificent proportions without having to account for weighty or flexible building materials.

Architectural doors can cow feature the following raw materials:

Non-rigid Architectural Door Materials

When creating an architectural door, there is a tendency to use materials which are not customarily used in various combinations in a large oversized front door design. The larger the door the less rigidity these materials may have.

Natural Wood

Natural wood is the most problematic substance to include in any large modern architectural design due to its tendency to move in accordance with environmental changes. Thanks to inventor Peter Sing’s patented Sing Core and patent-pending anti-warp technologies, his True Flat Team can assist in creating the prefect warp-free substrate which can be engineered to counteract almost any surface materials propensity to move, keeping the architectural door straight and true regardless of size.

Heavy Architectural Door Materials

Building an oversized architectural door using heavy materials such as concrete, steel, lead, stone, brick and mortar, and the like can be hugely challenging due to the excessive weight. The bigger the door, the more weight, stress and strain on the structure when operating such a monumental architectural door.

Again, Sing’s invention provides a high-precision lightweight substrate which can unfailingly support the weight of heavy architectural materials, and support the materials exceedingly well, while remaining lighter in weight, and can also be guaranteed not to fail for 50 years.

How Is It Possible?

You might ask yourself how this new patented technology can make the previously impossible large architectural door designs possible in present day? Sing’s patent holds the answer.

Peter Sing’s revolutionary patent is based on a hybrid combination of old and new technologies to create a lightweight architectural composite substrate that is stronger than steel pound-for-pound.

He starts with a torsion box grid structure using vertical grain natural wood fiber to form small grids two to three inches, then fills the otherwise empty structure cells with rigid foam material and sandwiches the metric structure between two sheet goods to complete the reinforced structural insulated hybrid panel.

This is the revolutionary core technology that has revolutionized the architectural door market across the board.

That’s why more and more architects are specifying Sing Core Doors in their most prestigious contemporary architectural design projects.

Hot Press Veneer Professionals

Hot Press Veneer Professionals are More Successful and Profitable with Sing Core

For years, Sing Core has been providing high-end local and nationwide hot press veneer professionals with premium core material that eliminates the need for crossbanding.

Let’s face it, nothing can compete with the beauty and elegance of a perfectly hot-pressed panel, and for that sweet-spot in the marketplace, those clients that demand the best and are willing to pay for it.  Many architects who need veneered doors come to us to provide them the strongest lightweight substrate for their veneer needs.  The manufacturers and millworks that have Sing Core inside their hot-pressed products are making bank by specializing in these ultra-high-end projects.

Hot Press Veneer Professionals

From the Inventor of Sing Core

Sing Core Inventor Peter Sing

Sing Core Inventor Peter Sing

I get asked by hot press veneer shops, if we are in competition with them? And the answer is, “No.” Even though we are specified by architects all over the country in large veneer projects, and mostly in huge veneer doors, we do not do the veneer. What we do is to provide our substrate to the best hot press veneer professionals we know. If a contractor contacts us first because we were spec’d on the job, we have him tell us which veneer company he wants us to work with, and my team is willing to help match up the best material and veneer services if they ask us for their advice, and that’s what we do.

I have invented patented and patent-pending solutions for high precision veneer projects that take the pain out of the challenges normally associated with big, long-spanning high-end jobs, anywhere from the San Francisco MOMA to the top of the World Trade Center’s Freedom Tower.

The top reasons the architects specify Sing Core is because

  1. We use only the best hot-press veneer companies to apply the best veneers, because I understand that doing veneering really great is an art, and we suggest only using the best artist, as you would on any important project.
  2. My company does what we do best, that is to provide the best substrate for veneer specialists to lay high quality veneer with the best guarantees in the woodworking industry.
  3. The people and companies that I work with are the best in their field and they don’t have to worry anymore about if this will work or how to solve problems associated with weight, dimensional stability, warping, or long lifespan. We’ve spent years in R&D to make sure that the biggest doors in the world do not have to warp anymore, and the biggest door companies trust me to make it so. In the last 10 years, they have not reported a single failed door, even including doors of immense size. Not one.
  4. My core is stronger than steel pound for pound and less than 1/3 the weight of doors made of solid wood core. Sing Core provides a high precision strong full bonding surface for veneering to that is so smooth crossbanding is not required. How high precision? Try +/- .oo6 inch, compare that to any other core material.
  5. Sing Core has insulation for enjoying warmth in Winter and cool Summers, is sound deadening for peace and quiet, and more dimensionally stable than other type of core such as foam core, honeycomb core, wood-based core.

You may not see everything we do because it is hidden deep inside the door or panel, but it’s there and many people can sleep soundly at night knowing that we have done all the hard work in advance, so that you don’t have to worry about endless maintenance calls.

I am so proud of my invention, that I put my name on it: Sing Core

What makes a hot-pressed panel worth so much more with Sing Core inside?

Architects are increasingly specifying their large high-end hot pressed veneer panelized walls, features, and doors have Sing Core inside (accounting for about one-third of all our products which are sent to the greater New York-area). The contractors generally contact Sing Core directly first, due to being specified. Though Sing Core does not actually do the veneering. Sing Core provides the high precision substrate that is shipped 3,000 miles from the manufacturing location in Washington State, to the high end millwork in New York (or wherever the nearest hot press specialist is near the construction site) to do the veneering there.

You will find Sing Core inside high-end hot pressed veneered ceilings, walls, floor, and doors in the most demanding architectural designs and projects.

Why?

Why must architects and designers go through such an unusual process to meet the needs of these high production and precision projects? According to those who are specifying and using Sing Core in their projects,

“There’s just no other way to do it.”

Large Size Concept Consideration

In an age when the biggest projects often include large spanning surface areas wrapped in beautiful wood veneer, the large scope of such a project is problematic. You are dealing with immense spans of material which is difficult to maintain straight and true, because at that size, most material will begin to move with changes in temperature, humidity, or other environmental variations. Sing Core is the only known method of keeping these spans straight and true. That is why the biggest door companies use Sing Core inside their doors that are over 9 ft. tall, because it doesn’t take much movement in a large door to render it inoperable. Then you do not have a door, you have an obstacle, or a bowed wall that needs to be dealt with. This leads to Sing Core’s primary function in these huge projects,

Warp-Free Hot Pressed Veneer

Particularly in high-end designs featuring the beauty of hot pressed veneer, the last thing you want is your project to express variances or changes. The desire is to have a completely flat surface that can span great length without warping. This is what Sing Core provides. It is the reason large doors (even extremely large doors) are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years, because they have Sing Core inside.

Highest Precision

High precision is a sought-after attribute of some of the most demanding clients, and Sing Core’s high precision (+/- .006 tolerance) gives them the high end performance that your clients are willing to pay extra for.

Lightweight Veneer Panels

Hot pressed veneer panels with Sing Core inside weigh less, not much more than a hollow core panel, but feature a fully insulated warp-free solid hybrid core that is 100% surface-area bondable.

100% Surface Bondable

That means, no weak spots like you might see in honeycomb-type cores, which offer only 10% or less surface bonding area. This full-bonded surface area inside the panel eliminates delamination over time.

Fully Insulated Veneer Panels

The insulation value is important in high-end hot pressed veneer applications for both climate control and sound deadening capabilities within expansive structure designs.

Less Expensive to Deploy and Install

Keeping these hot pressed veneer panels lightweight translates to less expensive shipping, handling, and hardware. They are easier to and less expensive to transport, manage and install on site with fewer risk of injuries, even if the panel is exceptionally large.

 

 

50-Year Guarantee

The non-warping hybrid core allows large door companies to build large doors that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail, including delamination.

We Do Not Veneer

We always recommend using your local veneering professionals for custom veneer doors. We do not provide veneer or install it.  It is our policy to subcontract veneering jobs to the best veneering professionals in the USA.

If you offer hot-pressed veneer services or cold-press veneering to your clientele, your highest paying customers will gladly pay you more if your panels have Sing Core inside.

Why Architects Spec Sing Core

Why Do Architects Spec Sing Core?

16 ft tall architectural teak door

 

In order of importance:

The number one reason architects specify Sing Core is for oversized doors of all kinds.

1. 50 YEAR WARP-FREE GUARANTEE

Any door over seven ft. tall and three-and-a-half ft. wide is going to have a problem with warping. Having Sing Core inside is the only know way to make a lightweight, high-strength door that can be guaranteed not to warp and includes a full structure and lamination warranty for 50 years.

warp-free 9 ft tall walnut veneer architectural door lightweight high strength insulated 50 year guarantee

9 ft tall warp-free walnut veneer door with Sing Core inside

2. SKIN OPTIONS

Beauty is not only Skin Deep

If it’s an available flat surface material, Sing Core has the expertise to apply it to patented and patent pending Sing Core technology in a superior high precision manner which will not delaminate following proper finishing.

MOST POPULAR SKIN OPTIONS

A) WOOD VENEER

Wood veneer is the popular choice for use in architectural doors. Application of veneers in large door projects can be very tricky, and Sing Core utilizes the most advanced comprehensive lamination methods to laminate large veneer doors.

Perfectly smooth walnut veneer

B) WOOD STAVE

Applying solid wood stave (natural wood grain planks) is the hardest material to feature on large doors due to the wood grain’s nature to shift and change in response to changes in the environment. It is hard enough to keep a standard sized wood plank door straight but building an oversized wood stave door is exponentially more problematic, unless it has Sing Core inside.

25 ft. wide wire brushed white oak wood stave sliding door

C) MDF

Sing Core has a unique method using their patented and patent-pending technologies to create the first super smooth high-precision MDF surface area that will not warp. This “smooth as glass” material is ready to paint, add vinyl graphics, or other materials such as veneers or wood stave via cold press in your own shop or millwork. Hot-press-ready version also available. We know how to do it. Just spec it and see for yourself.

D) STEEL

20G steel is the most popular grade of steel used on architectural steel doors with Sing Core inside. Why 20-gauge steel? Because even though Sing Core is lightweight it is stronger than steel pound for pound. That means you can use a lighter weight steel, without compromising the door’s integrity or visual appeal. Most popular steels are cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and diamond plate steel, among others.

E) SYNTHETICS

The most popular synthetics used on architectural doors are FRP, Masonite, Formica, fiberglass, and acrylic. The lamination experts at Sing Core know exactly how to deal with these hybrid and synthetic materials to qualify them for their 50-year fail-free guarantee.

F) ALUMINUM

The less expensive yet durable metal skin, aluminum or aluminium is an excellent choice of architectural door skin, and as with steel and other metal doors skins, thinner is better due to the high precision and superior strength of Sing Core.

Note: All door skins have exponentially increased adhesion, as the surface area increases, so does the bonding agent, due to Sing Core’s true flat nature and high precision at +/- .006 in. tolerance. Other honeycomb cores, like aluminum core, is only +/- .03 tolerance, and has very minimal surface area for adhesion, whereas Sing Core is solid surface.

3. HIGH PRECISION SUBSTRATE

Sing Core is a high precision solid surface substrate material sporting .006 tolerances. It is this degree of precision which is necessary, along with extensive proprietary knowledge and patent-pending anti-warp materials, to create the high definition bonding which is necessary to join and two flat surfaces with unsurpassed results. This enables Sing Core to create laminated panels, posts and beams which are created to last for centuries without failure.

What happens if you don’t specify Sing Core inside your doors?

IF YOU DON’T SPECIFY SING CORE inside your door, you are likely to get a heavy LVL door core, or if you specify “lightweight” you are likely to get an aluminum honeycomb door, which may look good on the outside and may hold up following installation, but not for long. Low tolerance (+/- .03 in.) and tendency to move are just too much of a sacrifice to make for discerning clients, like those who are increasingly looking to Sing Core to solve the problems associated with large oversized doors.

4. FULLY INSULATED

This is an added benefit enjoyed by contemporary architects who specify Sing Core inside their modern doors, but for those in search of insulated doors, this patented and fully insulated substrate is the only way to achieve lightweight high strength and superior insulation throughout for sound deadening and increased climate control.

Sing Core is made of 90% foam and 10% natural vertical grain wood fiber. This honeycomb structural design creates an incredibly strong, lightweight door. It’s dimensionally stable, offers insulation, and deadens sound.

Other lightweight doors may collapse or delaminate with a hard kick. They don’t offer the same 50-year guarantee because they lack the strength and structure of Sing Core. Traditional wood-core doors swell with moisture, and the more wood used, the less stable the door becomes. Sing Core’s foam core eliminates that problem while still providing exceptional strength.

 

 

 

Contractors Comparing to Other Door Cores

Even ChatGPT agrees: Sing Core’s honeycomb urethane core outshines other cores. Aluminum cores, while strong, are often paper-thin and lack density. They can stretch or fail to bond properly, making them unsuitable for large, custom doors. Plus, aluminum doesn’t insulate or deaden sound as Sing Core does.

Other options like paper, cardboard, particleboard, and wood-based cores don’t compare either. These materials warp over time, soak up moisture, and often come with only a one to five-year warranty. But Sing Core’s technology guarantees a 50-year warp-free performance. For high-precision doors, it’s all about the core.

Why Millworks Choose Sing Core

Millworks, what’s the most important thing when choosing a Door?

A 50-year guarantee vs. a 1-year guarantee in the oversized Millworks and door manufacturing industry.

The best way for Millworks to judge a door is by its warranty. According to our Chat GPT Search, this is the following: 

From Chat GPT: 

“If millworks are looking for a door with the best guarantee against warping, Sing Core stands out as a top option. They offer a remarkable 50-year non-warp guarantee on their doors. This is one of the best in the industry. This applies to a range of door types, including large, oversized pivot doors, sliding doors, and veneer doors.

Their patented Sing Core technology is used by high-end door manufacturers to create lightweight, high-strength doors that resist warping, bending, and twisting, even in challenging conditions. This guarantee is particularly important for large doors, which are more prone to warping due to their size.”

Most other door manufacturers typically offer a 1-year warranty, and in some cases, large doors may not have any warranty at all, since warping is a common issue in the industry. Therefore, Sing Core’s 50-year guarantee sets a very high standard for durability and performance.” Beauty is not skin deep. It’s what’s inside the door that counts.

How to get Sing Core. The process typically looks something, like this:

1. First, the Architect specifies, “SingCore” inside the product.

2. Second, the General Contractor seeks out a qualified Millwork who obtains unfinished pivot door from Sing Core.

3. Next, Sing Core manufactures the pivot door blank to architectural specs and ships to millwork.

4. Millwork finishes and installs hardware and provides finished pivot door to the job site.

5. Finally, installers hang and install the pivot door.

How You Know Sing Core’s the Best Door Panel Manufacturer

Sing Core is unique because it’s 90% foam and 10% natural renewable vertical grain wood fiber. In combination with its honeycomb structural design, Sing Core creates the strongest, lightweight, dimensionally stable door. These doors have the highest structural strength, insulation, and sound-deadening properties. 

If you kick a door with only foam, the door might collapse or delaminate the skin. The whole structure could fail. That’s why other lightweight doors don’t offer a 50-year guarantee. This Sing Core difference is critical because moisture changes make the wood susceptible to swelling.

When you have a large door, it’s incredibly sensitive to expansion. That’s why traditional wood-core doors typically come with only a one-year guarantee. The more wood, the less stable. Sing Core being mostly foam eliminates that problem and still provides exceptional strength while remaining lightweight. 

 

 

Ask ChatGPT about Sing Core Doors

Even if you ask ChatGPT why Sing Core is the best, you’ll hear the same reasoning: It’s a honeycomb urethane core. Sing Core rises ahead of the competition compared to other cores. Aluminum core for instance is strong. However, many aluminum cores are paper-thin and lack the density needed for true structural support. Without the thickness of Sing Core, the core has a tendency not to bond well thanks to stretching and a lower thickness.

If you increase the density, you create a structure that’s too heavy for large custom doors. Aluminum also doesn’t provide high levels of insulation and doesn’t deaden sound. Sing Core, however, offers the perfect balance of strength and lightweight composition with a dimensionally stable structure that also meets insulation and sound-deaning needs. 

Other lightweight cores, like paper, cardboard, particleboard, LVL, or regular wood-based cores, can’t compete against Sing Core. They tend to warp over time, soaking up moisture and often leave your clients disappointed. Most of these doors only come with a one to five-year warranty. But with Sing Core’s technology, you get a core that doesn’t warp and comes with a 50-year warp-free guarantee. For a high-precision door, it’s what’s within the core that matters.
