Not strangers to supporting the greater artists’ community with lightweight, high strength Sing Panels for use as art canvases of a rather large size, Sing Core was called upon by the designers of the Rumney Guggenheim Gallery in Brooklyn, New York to overcome some of the challenges due to weight and size ratios throughout the renovation of the former Williamsburg Bank building located at 834 Driggs Avenue.
The race was on for Santiago Rumney Guggenheim (great-grandson of legendary arts patron Peggy Guggenheim) to rehab the former bank building built in 1875, transforming it into a luxurious gallery to showcase exclusive works of art in Brooklyn by the October 8, 2015 opening night debut.
Sing Core was honored to solve the architectural problems associated with size vs. weight and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
Amongst the art that was introduced on opening night, we were quite impressed with The Little House exhibit by Moral Turgeman, a 20 x 24 piece of work that takes our tiny house concept to a whole new level, leaving art enthusiasts breathless at the mirrored surfaces and offering a unique experience for attendees to explore Turgeman’s visionary interpretation from the inside out.
Inventor Peter Sing is a fan of neon lights; and it was an honor to see Olivia Steele’s neon art in full regalia on Rumney Guggenheim’s menu opening night. As a matter of fact once piece by Olivia Steele was nearly a tribute to Sing’s Sing Core entitiled, “Heart Core.”
Transforming the Space
To make Guggenheim’s dream of having an elegant place to bring works of art to New York, he had to re-create the wide open pallet of the bank building into an almost liquid piece of art itself.
The answer to having space that could change shape and form on-demand included Sing’s lightweight Museum Panels that can be moved, connected and slide-mounted. Using Sing’s cam-lock assembly method, panels can be linked together to make any size wall, and due to the light weight and high strength, an enormous space, like Guggenheim’s gallery, can be completely designed and redesigned on-the-fly with very little labor involved.
Every Sing Museum Panel in the Guggenheim Gallery served up art on its walls like a silver platter.
Showcasing the art on inventor Peter Sing’s works of art was the perfect solution for architect Rita Eng AIA of David Scott Parker Architects who was in charge of the former bank building’s metamorphosis into the evolving art gallery.
Sing’s museum panels are built to last for centuries, are the strongest, lightweight and eco-friendly wall panels ever invented; only Sing’s panels are non-warping and can be guaranteed true flat for 50 years, which is by far the best warranty.
Proud to be the newest Eco-friendly architectural building product that is more lightweight and stronger than other traditional building products, Sing Core is a part of this forward thinking movement that is creating an advanced attitude that embraces high tech while maintaining a green perspective.
“The Center is shared home and place of collaboration for AIA Seattle, Design in Public, Seattle Architecture Foundation, and AIA Washington Council, as well as a place for our partner organizations to convene events and conversations relevant to design and our city.”- CFAD Seattle
To help support the efforts of all progressive architects and designers in the Northwest, Sing Core has donated $36,000 in its patented Eco-friendly architectural building materials thus far.

Unique T Slot Modular Building Characteristics
Unlike other portable buildings, Sing T Slot Modular Buildings are
Insulated
Sing T Slot Modular Building panels come standard with R 6.25 insulation, but could be upgraded to meet your architectural specifications. This insulation provides temperature separation preserving the interior of the structure environmentally protected from the exterior conditions (a huge advantage in extreme conditions, like on scientific expeditions on the polar caps).
Sound Deadening
Increasing the quality of the intended use of your modular buildings, it is a huge added benefit to enjoy the sound deadening qualities of Sing T Slot Panels further providing separation from the modular building’s exterior for added convenience, privacy and peace of mind no matter where your modular building is located, whether it is amidst heavy air traffic or an in plant office in a noisy factory.
Lightweight
Sing T Slot Panel Modular Buildings weigh a fraction of the weight of other solid core structures because of the patented torsion-box/foam-insulation composite structure of Sing Core.
High Strength
4 x 4 T Slot Modular Ticket Booth
High precision Sing Core is the strongest interior structure base material that enables panels to span large distances with very little (if any) additional supporting structure with little or no deflection. Only the patented torsion box composite substrate could accomplish the feats attributed with this newly invented building material.
How Strong is Sing Core? It was independently tested by the University of Washington at 660 PSI (that’s stronger than steel pound for pound); well over 6 times the strength of other composite materials used in the aerospace industry.
Long Lasting
When you’re making a substantial investment in insulated modular buildings, they need to be durable, especially if they are to be assembled, disassembled, transported, stored and reconfigured repeatedly. Your Sing T Slot Modular Building can be guaranteed to last for 50 years without fail, and you will always be able to get additional components to add to your structural components as your need for portable buildings and/or shelters increases.
Isn’t it time that you made a major improvement upgrade in your modular buildings?
Man doors are doors within doors. For instance, you can have a large sliding door, say 14 ft tall and 20 ft wide. You might not want to slide that big door back and forth every time you access the space. No problem. Just install a separate egress point (a man door) inside that large oversized door and you have simple method or entering and exiting the space without having to articulate the mother door.
Man doors can be tricky because the host door (which can be very large, potentially up to 40 ft or more) must be built with very high structural integrity so as to accommodate the regular and potentially heavy use of the man door.
That’s why the world’s best large doors with man doors are made with Sing Core, because using Sing Core is the only way to build such a door which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail, and you need this high precision dimensional stability to accomplish such a feat, over time.
That’s why inventor Peter Sing guarantees his warp-free large door solution to remain warp-free for 50 years. No other lightweight, fully insulated, sound deadening and climate control large door in the world can make such a claim. Not only is Sing Core the best way to do it, it is the only way to do it.
A Man Door is a man-sized access door that is pre-built ~ or after market modified ~ in a larger door to provide access of an individual without having to open the entire large door, exposing the entire area. Man Doors are also referred to as pedestrian doors, pass doors and/or access doors. Man doors are one of the absolute best ways possible to add additional functionality and character to your high end residential and commercial locations. What’s more, you can order your man door in any skin, even metal skins, like hot rolled and cold rolled steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, and copper.
Sing Man Doors
Large extreme edge pivot doors with man door
Sing Core makes the best man doors. Why? Because our Eco-friendly high-precision lightweight and high strength core material allows door manufacturers to create doors of enormous size while keeping them straight and true. So perfectly straight and true, in fact, that Sing Core offers a free large door consultation that can result in a professional large door that can be guaranteed true flat and to remain true flat for 50 years.
When you have a super large door (could be as big as a hangar door) in many cases you don’t want to open the entire door area just to access the space. That’s where the Sing Man Door comes in. There’s no doubt that Sing Core is the go to source for insulated large doors of any size that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.
It is quite common for someone who seeks out the services of Sing Core to request that a large oversize door come with an access door that allows egress without having to unsecure the entire big door area. In most cases Sing Man Doors are simply Sing Metal Doors incorporated into the design of the original oversized door.
Very few companies can compete with Sing Core when it comes to man doors, because of the extremely high precision, strength, and lightweight characteristics required in making a man door suitable for use for decades to come. Our Professional Man Doors come with our 50 Year Warp Free Guarantee and are 100% made in USA using materials sourced from USA. We pride ourselves on making the best man doors in the business.
Large doors with articulating access panels are common, and are increasing in popularity amongst garage door companies who use Sing Core as their substrate material for their large garage doors.
Man Doors can be includes in all types of doors, including (but not limited to) large sliding doors, overhead doors, large pivot doors, large swing doors, large carriage doors, and more…
Maybe it’s time you thought about having pedestrian access via a specially designed pedestrian door to be used as a pass door allowing access to your space in a smart, more economical and secure fashion.
It is common for self/home contractors of spec home projects to contact Sing Core for Eco-friendly insulated building materials that are lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.
You might be surprised that many spec homes have been built completely out of Sing Core materials, everything from the foundation to the roof and everything in-between including the doors and interior furnishings. All built to last for centuries.
You might think of Sing building materials as panels (which is understandable because our true flat panels are most popular around the USA and the world) that are used mostly as doors, floors, walls and roof panels.
Avid true green spec home builders and Sing supporters use a combination of Sing Panels and Post and Beam for every conceivable portion of the home build and even the furniture inside the home.

The Sing T Slot Panel is an extraordinary composite of leading edge technologies resulting in a nearly unlimited variety of configurations.
The good news: You can create to your heart’s content ~ and ~ much of the work has already been done, because most (if not all) of the imaginable components have already been designed for integration with the Sing T Slot Panel.
Insulated Lightweight and High Strength
Standard Sing T Slot Panels come packed with insulated rated at R3.5 per square inch. Foam can be upgraded from our standard EPS foam (R3.5) for even more insulation per your specifications by using Polyurethane foam (R6.5), Polyisocyanurate (R7.5), Phenolic (over R8) or other more advanced foams that may be available to meet your specifications.
Insulated Sing T Slot Panels are the only panels that offer not only lightweight and strength but also offer excellent temperature control. The unique attributes of the Sing Core material offer insulated isolation between the separate sides of the T Slot Panels providing a protective thermal barrier between interior and exterior surfaces. Keep cold on one side and heat on the other effectively with insulated Sing T Slot Panels for advanced climate control.
The sound deadening characteristics are added benefits – especially for temporary equipment enclosures, structures and portable clean rooms or emergency shelters – providing added safety, security and an additional barrier from external sources.

Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are an Eco-friendly unique combination of traditional high-end carpentry skills and modern space-age technology alternative to other insulated aluminum panels that are lightweight and high strength and proudly made in the USA.
Strength deflection demonstration of 1 inch 13 ft. long insulated aluminum panel
What makes Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels different from other insulated aluminum panels?
The beginning of the Sing Insulated Aluminum Panel’s uniqueness, you must start at the heart of the insulated aluminum panel, which is the SingCore. The patented core features a structure grid built of vertical grain torsion box. For many years, torsion box has been known to add strength and stability to large structures covering long spans while reducing the overall weight.
Left to itself, the torsion box structure is traditionally left empty. Instead of being left empty the empty spaces inside the torsion box structure grids are filled with rigid foam insulation, which gives the Sing Insulated Aluminum panels their insulation R value and unparalleled shear strength. The substructure is then sandwiched between two aluminum stress skins and laminated with formaldehyde-free glue, to form an insulated aluminum panel which is stronger than steel (660 PSI) pound for pound.
High Precision Insulated Aluminum Panels
Lightweight insulated aluminum panel
No other insulated aluminum panel is so high precision while other core materials vary in thickness across the span of the panel SingCore exemplifies new standards of precision with extremely accurate tolerance of +/- .006 inch.
This extreme high precision is why Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are used in high-end industrial applications throughout the United States government and science industries including the military, aerospace and NASA.
Aluminum Raised Floor, Shelving
You can use Sing aluminum panels as shelves or raised flooring throughout your private or commercial vehicles for better handling cargo. The lightweight and high strength offers organization and clarity, without compromising vehicle weight or handling, so you can add any configuration or levels which would best suit your needs.
Photos (above) show Sing aluminum panels installed in a van being used as a raised floor, shelf, or truck bed.
Custom Insulated Aluminum Panels
Insulation R value starts at R3.5 per inch and can be increased to meet your architectural specification by filling the torsion box voids with other varieties of rigid insulation materials possessing higher insulation values and/or fully encapsulated insulation and substrate.
In fact, all Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are custom manufactured in our factory located in the scenic Pacific Northwest to architectural specifications. It’s as if each insulated aluminum panel is an individual work of art. Specifications may include any variety of materials to meet specific high performance standards.
Insulated aluminum panels with T slot
Other Applications
Not restricted for only use as industrial insulation panels, Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are found in commercial applications, such as retail, office, refrigeration and hospitality industries and in high end real estate and homes as insulated aluminum doors.
Insulated Aluminum Doors
Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are probably the best material to use for creating insulated aluminum doors, especially if the door in question is a large, oversized door. The lightweight, impressive shear strength and insulation reinforcement makes large doors foolproof with accuracy higher than solid steel at a fraction of the weight, reducing the cost of any large high-end metal door project immensely.
Cut Down on Expenses
The weight of the metal door dictates hardware and supporting structure requirements, which are expensive considerations for heavy doors. Heavy doors are also more expensive to transport and install requiring heavy equipment and labor, while insulated aluminum doors made with Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels are lightweight, less expensive to ship, handle and install. Plus the structural insulated panels cost savings of having an insulated end product as well as doors that require less maintenance over time.
50 Year No Fail Guarantee
Only Sing Insulated Aluminum Panels can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including full structure guarantee) for 50 years. That’s an impressive 50 year guarantee that is not something seen in industrial, commercial or residential industries. This 50 year guarantee would not be possible if not for the unprecedented structure strength of SingCore inside each Sing Insulated Aluminum Panel.
Any door built with SingCore inside could be the most insulated, airtight, lightweight and strongest door in the world, thanks to patented SingCore.
Carriage doors are shipping to nostalgic homes in San Francisco, Green Lake, Seattle, Puget Sound and similar residential areas around the USA to make better use of extra garage space for converting to extra living space.
If you’re garage plans include looking to convert your garage into livable space, garage apartment, work shop, guest room or even an office, then you need to replace your current garage door with a patented SingCore carriage door. The most airtight door in the world can be fully guaranteed for structure strength and to remain warp-free for 50 years. No other carriage door is so lightweight, nor do they have the highest strength.
2. Why SingCore doors are the best choice for your garage door if you’re looking to convert your garage to a livable space:
Patented SingCore is changing the technology used and how to build a door with insulation for garage door. It starts with the successful story of building a high end door for a Manhattan penthouse.
If you are in the high end large door business, you know that no manufacturer wants to make a large door due to potential problems with warping. All the doors made of wood base core or skin are going to warp, it’s just a matter of time; sometimes within a month following the door installation compromising the garage door weather seal.
SingCore uses a combination of patented and patent pending large door technology to keep your Sing precision garage door straight and true, which keeps your garage with apartment plans air tight. Maintaining weather seal is so important for your garage with living space.
Garage doors deal directly with weather conditions, which is the primary reason for distortion in your garage door. Whether it’s a carriage door or overhead garage door, it’s almost impossible to keep it airtight due to their natural design and characteristics.
If you’re looking for a warm or cool garage conversion maximizing extra space for your comfortable living garage with apartment, SingCore garage door is the only choice, guaranteed by inventor Peter Sing.
