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.

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 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.
From the Inventor of Sing Core
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
How Sing Core supports contractors to bring original architectural doors to life.
Door Blanks for High End Installations
Contractors and carpenters rightfully wary about buy and installing large or oversize wooden doors using traditional techniques. That’s why the top contractors in the country choose SingCore for challenging projects where they need to get things right the first time.
SingCore specializes in producing raw door panels which require finishing and hardware installation. . Our specialty is in door panels, not necessarily door finishing, which is why we prefer to work with millworks on expensive projects. And, we often refer our clients to local millworks when possible.
If you are carpenter or contractor without expertise in door finishing and milling, then we recommend you bring in a local millwork to assist you with completion of your luxury SingCore door panel.
Guaranteed Warp-free for 50 Years
With a guarantee longer than any other in the market, top jobs prefer to go with SingCore. Our no questions asked structural guarantee is perfect for cases when you can’t let anything go wrong, because this guarantee is the product of our certainty that our panels will stand the test of time where others will not.
Renowned for non-warping large doors, inventor Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending building materials can do so much more. Patented SingCore is suitable for use in unsupported spans of almost any length with proper design support from our “True Flat” estimating team.
For example look at this 13′ ft. span, easily supporting the weight of a man without deflection at only 1″ thick. Peter Sing’s miraculous material just boggles the mind, and is something that you have to get in your hands, or under your feet, to truly understand. You absolutely need to include SingCore in you next project.
How Strong is Sing’s Core?
Independently tested, Sing’s core is 660 PSI, many times stronger when compared to any other lightweight honeycomb-type building material which usually clocks in at between 10 and 110 PSI.
While lightweight and fully insulated, Sing Core is stronger that steel pound for pound.
Peter Sing says:
Kick my door and you will break your leg.
Any Size You Like
Sing core is not limited to specific standard door sizes. We offer full custom doors at any size from 3′ feet to 30′. There is almost no size too large or too small. And with our proprietary join on site door panel option, even the largest panels can easy to ship and easy to get in the building with limit on final size.

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. 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.
Hot-pressers 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.
Window Openings, French Doors, Man Doors, and Exotic Styles

The last thing you want on the top floor of the World Trade Center, is a warped door, and that’s why you’ll find Sing Core inside those doors.
You could find Sing Core from beneath the depths of the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between.
New to Sing Core?
If you’re a new contractor working with Sing Core, we can help you getting started on the right foot. Keep in mind that when you get an initial price quote from Sing Core, that you are only receiving your quote for a raw, unfinished warp-free building material. Assuming that your initial price quote is related to your finished cost will not serve you well in your bidding process. (Please, do not make this mistake.)
All Sing Products Are Unfinished
Most all Sing products are shipped to a millwork or door company. These are the partners who finish and transform a Sing door slab into the beautiful works of art for which we are given credit for, even though Sing Core does not make doors (only the substrate) which enables your clients to enjoy their warp-free door for fifty years.
The contractors we work with on a regular basis know this, and this is a common mistake made by the ambitious contractor who is in a hurry or on a tight budget. We will do everything we can to help you win the bid, but you must keep in mind that we are providing you with an unfinished door slab. We will work hand-in-hand with your millwork or door company.
Low VOA and Warp Free
Our friends at Crestmark Architectural Millwork found SingCore to be particularly useful in large cabinet doors for the Museum of Modern Art. Our warp free oversize panels combined perfectly with the museums need for low VOA materials for archival room use.
100-YEAR FURNITURE
SingCore has been used by the Seattle AIA for their flat back style office furniture. Unlike overseas competitors, who focus on quantity of quality, or furniture panels are designed and built to last a century or more. This makes sing core the go to companion for high end yet functional furniture installations. Coming it at 1/3rd the weight of all wood panels, SingCore is extremely popular in the modular or moveable furniture space.
A variety of travel industries are benefited by using Sing’s technologies, including, but not limited to hospitality, aircraft, aerospace, marine, rail, trucks, trailers, and RVs.
Most Sustainability of Any Other Building Material
Peter Sing’s gift to the world is this highly sustainable product which can virtually last forever with little or no deterioration, and can be repurposed on the fly, making it possibly the most sustainable building material in the world.

How to get a price quote:
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3: Length, Width and Thickness of the door substrate. In one click you can see a shop drawing of the Sing Panel that you are looking to purchase.
Sing Core supplies valuable components to the construction process. Patented Sing panels, posts and beams are integrated into projects where the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, insulation and alternative Eco-friendly manufacturing options are either sought after or used in solving the problems associated with large scale projects.
The process works something, like this:
The Architect specifies, “SingCore” inside the products, let’s say, a large pivot door
Sing Core manufactures the pivot door blank to architectural specs and ships to millwork
Millwork finishes and installs hardware and provides finished pivot door to the job site
Installers hang and or install the pivot door
What we do the best…the best in the world:
We provide the best substrate for the millwork and door industries to build the best door in the world. The core makes all the difference. If you use LVL core, wood stave core, particle board core, aluminum core, or paper core you should try Sing Core. Millworks know LVL and wood stave is too heavy and warps, aluminum honeycomb core has no precision once the core is stretched, paper core is similar and offers very little support and no sheer strength.
We supply our Sing Core door substrate to the largest door manufacturers to replace their door cores as mentioned previously. One of our largest customers said,
“Since we switched to Sing Core, we never have any warping issue, which was the biggest problem for recalls no matter how hard we tried to make our LVL cores work.”
1. For a highly smooth paint grade surface, such as lacquer finish. 1 with MDF skin, 2 with AB plywood as surface skin. They have one thing in common; no matter which skin you select, as long as it is artisan grade, it will be guaranteed for the flatness, lightweight, and high strength, which is the highest standard in the industry.
2. Veneer-ready artisan grade Sing substrate panels for doors or high end millwork.
3. Wood stave-ready. By adding 1/8-inch to 3/8-inch hardwood to create a panel which looks and performs better than any solid wood or any other type of door core, guaranteed.
4. Metal door. Almost any metal, or non-metal skin can be use as Sing door finish material. It functions and looks better than any other method, such as welding, or use other type of frame technology. Sing metal panels are stronger pound for pound than any solid material, lighter in weight, and with the highest precision which means longer life span of the products.
5. Increase your productivity by using Sing door panels to replace stile and rail doors.
If you have a job with 10 different sizes and more than 40 doors which could easily jam up your production for days, if not for weeks, contact Sing Core. We could do it in less than 2 or 3 days and ship to you to add veneer, or add trim to make it look like stile and rail doors. Even the professional door maker could not tell the difference, but we guarantee your new type of veneer or stile and rail door will be stronger, lighter, and true flat. No other stile and rail door could perform like Sing Core. This is the reason Sing Core works with the most succesful high-end door manufacturers across the USA.
Get Things Done Right the First Time
Millworks and door manufactures are rightfully wary about building and installing large or oversize wooden doors using traditional techniques. That’s why the top millworks in the country choose SingCore for challenging projects where they need to get things right the first time.
Guaranteed Warp-free for 50 Years
Here at SingCore we set the bar exceptionally high with a lengthy full structural guarantee that exceeds any other offered in the industry. This covers not only standard size door panels but oversize door panels exceeding 30′ in length.
Renowned for non-warping large doors, inventor Peter Sing’s patented and patent-pending building materials can do so much more. Patented SingCore is suitable for use in unsupported spans of almost any length with proper design support from our “True Flat” estimating team.
Strength of Sing Panel
Peter Sing’s miraculous material just boggles the mind, and is something that you have to get in your hands, or under your feet, to truly understand. Just look at this 13′ span, easily supporting the weight of a man without deflection at only 1″ thick. By including Sing Core in your next project, you may for the first time have complete confidence that your oversize door installation will stand the test of time, with no complaints from your clients.
The SingCore factory, located in the pristine forests of the Pacific Northwest, also builds posts and beams for use in other types of construction applications. They are just as lightweight and strong, if not stronger, than SingCore doors. Our specialty is devising a way to make your next project in to a success, no mater what it takes

Lightweight of Sing Panel
How Strong is Sing’s Core?
Independently tested, Sing’s core is 660 PSI, many times stronger when compared to any other lightweight honeycomb-type building material which usually clocks in at between 10 and 110 PSI.
That’s why you will find Sing Core inside impact doors. Sing says, “If you kick other doors, they will crash,
“Kick my door and you will break your leg.”
While lightweight and fully insulated, Sing Core is stronger that steel pound for pound.
Finish to Match Any Style
SingCore offers a huge variety of skin materials, that allows you to achieve any design goal or match any existing element to perfection. Our specialty is in door panels, no necessarily door finishing, which is why we prefer to work with millworks on expensive projects. And, we often refer our clients to local millworks when possible.
