How Sing Core can Improve the Sustainability of Your Building

How Sing Core can Improve the Sustainability of Your Building

Many buildings share a common goal: to become more sustainable and lower their impact on the environment. There are various ways to achieve this, and implementing Sing Core doors is one big step you can take toward this endeavor.

How Does Sing Core Help Sustainability?

Sing Core panels are used to make high quality doors with a long list of valuable features, including being strong, durable, lightweight, and more. One of the key features to boost your business’s sustainability and lower your carbon and energy footprint is the exceptional insulation provided by Sing Core doors.

Standard door options lack proper insulation, and as such allow the heat to seep outside and the cold to creep inside. Our patented and patent-pending designs feature quality foam insulation fit evenly throughout the entire panel, which works incredibly well at providing that barrier against the cold that is so needed in buildings. By ensuring the foam fills up 100% of the space inside the panel, we eliminate any voids or air pockets that could act as a drain for your hot air, thus boosting your energy efficiency. Offices, businesses, and even homes spend a lot of money on heating and cooling throughout the year as is. That amount skyrockets when we’re also trying to heat and cool the rest of the world, too, due to poor insulation.

By using Sing Core for your exterior doors, you are already taking a massive step toward energy efficiency. In addition, proper insulation and lower energy consumption is a key part of achieving a good LEED rating and LEED certifications. LEED scores buildings on their environmental impact and sustainability, providing certifications to those who are doing their part in lowering the industrial carbon and energy footprint that we’re leaving on the Earth. Sing Core is environmentally friendly and uses sustainably sourced materials, further securing our place in the race to save the environment.

We are striving to lower the impact of industries and businesses on the world and secure a sustainable future for everyone, and with your help, we can move further toward that goal. Sing Core is not only one of the highest quality, most Earth friendly companies in the door and wall industry, but we are also constantly pushing ourselves toward improving our product and the way we leave the world behind. We can’t do it alone, but together we stand a chance at changing the world for the better.

For more information on how businesses can lower their carbon footprint and become more eco-friendly, read up on the LEED certification process and target areas. According to LEED, the newest version of their rating system focuses majorly on a company’s carbon footprint and environment impact, but there are many other things businesses can do to help our world and boost their LEED rating.

Thank you for reading up on how Sing Core helps improve the sustainability of your building, and for your interest in learning how we can do our part in saving the world.

Sing Core Update

We produce patented and patent-pending door blanks for high end door manufacturers and mill works in the industry.
Sing Core door blanks are most popularly used for large sliding doors, pocket doors, pivot doors, hinge doors, and carriage doors. Most commonly we create door blanks for doors that are 8 ft. to 20 ft. tall, and range from 4 ft. to 25 ft. wide.

On average, how much do Sing Core panels weigh?
approximately 2-3 lbs. per square foot. If you double the thickness, you quadruple the strength while increasing the weight by only 5-10%.

How straight is a Sing Core panel really?
We guarantee the same or better than the AWI standard. We are always able to achieve the most dimensionally stable reinforced insulated panel than any other door core. This includes very large and thin doors which pose the most challenge to remain straight. Only our patented and patent-pending technology is able to achieve this. If other door manufacturers are unable to guarantee your doors, please contact us. We will be able to ensure your doors will be straight before we even produce it for you. We are the most experienced non-warp, high strength, and lightweight door panel manufacturer in the world.

What kind of skins do you offer?
The most popular skins we offer include veneer, wood stave, metal, MDF/paintgrade, or marine plywood for exterior applications.

What type of style or design door can you make with Sing Core?
You can add trim or moulding to create a design or can use a CNC machine to carve any design you can imagine, from classic 6 panel styles to complex artistic designs with or without light openings. The possible designs are endless, but Sing Core creates the strongest lightweight and non-warping door panels in the industry. Every door comes guaranteed by inventor Peter Sing.

What type of home uses Sing Core door panels?
Our door panels are used in a wide variety of applications, but most commonly in high-end luxury homes; homes over 8 million dollars for our extremely large door panels.

What type of trade professionals does Sing Core service?
Architects for luxury homes, high-end millworks, nationwide high-end door manufacturers, and general contractors with access to a millwork. We do not sell our products to home owners.

What’s new besides providing the best large door blanks?
We are starting to build standard sized unfinished door blanks for door manufacturers for them to build affordable high-end stile and rail doors. We have been producing MDF skinned paintgrade door blanks in large quantities. Our production line is capable of building hundreds of standard door blanks per day. If interested, send us a schedule of the doors for your project and we will be able to make your door panels at an affordable price; including your large doors. We don’t and are not capable to build doors, we just supply the most straight, non-warping, high strength, lightweight door panel for door manufacturers or millworks to build the highest quality doors at an affordable price.

Who does Sing Core sell their products to?
Most Sing Core door panels are sold because they are specified by high-end architects while designing their multi-million dollar projects or by top millwork companies building high-end doors for very demanding luxury homes.  Luxury homes often require large doors for various applications in the home; Sing Core large door panels could be used for sliding doors, pocket doors, or pivot doors that need high precision, high-strength, lightweight, and non-warping door cores.

A millwork company that has been using our patented door technology for over 10 years told us, ‘We have not had any issues with our doors since switching to Sing Core.’  Before, even if they are the top door company in the USA, oftentimes they would face recalls which is their worst nightmare.  With our Sing Core innovations and revolutionary technology, we can offer the only 50 year guarantee in the door industry.  They love our 50 year guarantee, as most manufacturers in the industry only offer 1 year guarantee or no guarantee at all.  Call us if you would like to have that peace of mind.  We provide the best door panels and peace of mind in the high-end large door industry.

We also work with general contractors to provide Sing Core unfinished door panels to their designated millwork to properly finish their doors.

We do not sell finished doors.  We do not sell our door panels or substrates to people outside of the building industry’s door designers and manufacturers.  We do not sell to homeowners or door distributors.

Architects Love Sing Core
Architects spec Sing Core in their huge doors because they trust Sing Core to provide the high-precision, lightweight and dimensional stability, which makes them look good when it comes to these oversized egress points, building credibility with their clients. They know there is no known door construction method that can accomplish such a feat.

Let us know if you are interested to learn how to build any style or design of door with Sing Core panels using a CNC machine subcontractor. You can find CNC subcontractors by searching the internet with phrases like “CNC wood co-op” or “CNC wood shop for rent.” You can find CNC shops to be rented if you are or know a CNC operator. See picture of possible doors you could build by using other wood working machines and talents.

Besides very large doors, standard doors in large quantity, Sing Core technology proves to be useful for all different industries. Click here to see the endless applications of patented and patent pending Sing Core.

High-end doors are often sold for tens of thousands of dollars and should last a lifetime. Door companies usually do not offer any guarantees for doors over 10 ft., the most they offer could be 1 year only. Sing Core will provide a written guarantee for 50 years. This is why Sing Core is recommended by our fellow door manufacturers to use our products. Let your friends and associates know that we are ready to service your needs if you are looking for peace of mind for any large door project you may have.

Sing Core is the best lightweight, high strength, non-warping material. Our product uses our patented and patent-pending technology to solve the issues associated with high-end large doors; not only in the US but in the worldwide – especially Europe. Often times, when a customer is building a $10 million and up house and use other door technologies, they tend to warp over time. This same customer then comes to Sing Core to solve their problems. No one else can create a door like this that can remain straight, and we guarantee it for 50 years.

When talking to a door company you have to ask questions like, “What is your guarantee against warping?” or “How long is your guarantee?”

Warping is the biggest issue in large doors besides weight issues or insufficient strength.

Often times you find out that the other doors companies do not offer guarantees for doors over 10 ft. and sometimes they have an issue guaranteeing doors that are less than 10 ft. The best guarantee they may offer is for only one year.

Lets say you have a $15-25 million dollar home and the doors are only guaranteed for one year. If you have problems with them and call the company after one year they will tell you that you no longer have any guarantee.

Do you want to deal with that kind of door or do you want to rest easy with Sing Core?

We guarantee our doors for 50 years. If the door does not last 50 years, then why would you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars for doors that aren’t reliable?

Sing Core has a deal with most high-end door companies in the US.

Our performance shows. We haven’t had a single door fail.

When a door fails, everyone panics; from the architect to the millwork to the general contractor and especially the high-end clientele. ‘It’s not just about the money, but the reputation.’

At Sing Core, we keep your reputation. No body else in the world can the issues with large doors.

You are a high-end professional, you do not want people to call you and complain that their doors have failed. We know how you can panic if a high-end customer complains. We can help you sleep better by avoiding the trouble a head of time.

For wide doors in a limit space, on increasingly popular option are pivot doors, which offer the grand feel of a wider than average door while maintaining space savings and usability.

What is the standard width of a bathroom door?

The most common size for a bathroom door is 32″. Although, in tight spaces they can be as little as 28″ or 24″ inches. For space that require wheel chair access, doors should be at least 36″ wide to accommodate all ability levels.

Sing Solution Considerations

What should you consider when seeking out the Sing solution?

1. Dimensions Affect Price

 

Sing Core can build anything that can be panelized, from large pivot doors to hangar doors and panelized structures such as warehouses or even Sing Log Homes. Very large panels or walls can reach enormous proportions and can be made modular for near seamless assembly on site. Other factors which affect the overall price of your project will be,

2. Importance of Surface Material

 

The skin material used on your panel’s exterior greatly affects how the substructure is built. Basically, the greater the tendency for the exterior surface material to move, the more of Sing’s True Flat engineering is required to create a hybrid substrate which will counteract the panel’s tendency to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise create a challenge in the field over time.

3. Sing Core Inside

The core of the panel in question can come in many different variations besides the patented and fully insulated, reinforced vertical grain torsion box core to match the high precision performance expectations of your project. Many considerations are made to determine the size of the patented structure grids as well as integration of patent-pending counter-warp materials to achieve desired results.

4. Thickness

Thickness of your panel and each of its features affects everything. For instance, it is much easier to keep a panel straight and true the higher the percentage of patented Sing Core is inside your panel proportionally. Even if your surface material is natural wood, your client might desire 3/8” thick material, when using 1/8” material is far more effective, and the difference is not noticeable on the end product.

All of these things play a part in the design and engineering of your panel in terms of

Giant Factory Door Extremely Light Weight

A. WEIGHT

The overall weight of your custom panel(s) is determined by the sum of all the components which are necessary to create a one-of-a-kind solution which meets your required specifications. The greater the amount of Sing Core inside your panel, the less it will weigh and the stronger it will be.

B. STRENGTH

No other substrate in the world is more lightweight or high-strength than inventor Peter Sing’s Sing Core, which provides for a solid composite core based on Sing’s patented insulated and reinforced torsion box structure, which is stronger than steel pound for pound (660+ PSI). By doubling the among of patented Sing Core, you multiply the strength of the panel four times.

C. WARP-FREE

Besides being Eco-friendly and made in the USA, patented Sing Core is the only substrate which can guarantee your panel will not warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail. In fact, this revolutionary building material enables the best door companies in the world to build large doors of any size which can be guaranteed warp-free for 50 years (a first in the industry).

BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS

Sing solutions for problems and challenging projects can be costly, but they may also be extremely affordable depending on your performance expectations.

If you are on a budget and flexible about some of the elements of your design, there is a good chance that Sing’s True Flat Team may be able to reengineer a solution for you that will both meet your budget and your performance expectations.
