Creating Exquisite Grand Entrances with Sing Core

The grand entrance to a building serves as a powerful statement, captivating visitors and setting the tone for their experience within. Architects continuously seek innovative materials and designs to achieve awe-inspiring entrances that leave a lasting impression. One material that is favored for its versatility and effectiveness is Sing Core. In this article, we will explore how architects can harness the remarkable qualities of Sing Core to create the best grand entrances imaginable.

Unparalleled Strength and Lightweight Construction

Sing Core is a revolutionary composite material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Combining a lightweight honeycomb structure with sturdy torsion box technology, it provides architects with an incredible opportunity to design grand entrances that are both robust and visually striking. The material’s high strength ensures longevity, making it ideal for enduring heavy foot traffic while maintaining its structural integrity.

Versatile Design Options

Architects strive to push boundaries and create unique spaces that leave a lasting impression. Sing Core offers immense design flexibility, allowing architects to realize their creative visions. Sing Core panels can be made to nearly any dimensions or specifications, enabling the creation of intricate and innovative entrance designs. From curved and flowing structures to bold and angular compositions, Sing Core empowers architects to explore limitless design possibilities.

Large Panels and Seamless Integration

Grand entrances often demand expansive paneling to create a dramatic impact. Sing Core excels in this aspect by enabling the production of massive panels that integrate seamlessly. This not only enhances the visual appeal of the entrance but also ensures a smoother installation process. The ability to craft large doors with a single or few panels allows architects and designers to push the boundaries of what was once thought impossible.

Acoustic and Thermal Insulation

Beyond its structural qualities, Sing Core also provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties. This makes it an ideal choice for grand entrances in buildings where noise reduction and energy efficiency are paramount. The material’s sound-dampening capabilities ensure a tranquil environment, shielding visitors from exterior disturbances. Additionally, its thermal insulation properties contribute to maintaining a comfortable interior temperature, reducing energy consumption and enhancing sustainability.

Durability and Low Maintenance

Architects aim for designs that stand the test of time, requiring minimal maintenance. Sing Core’s inherent durability makes it an excellent choice for grand entrances in high-traffic areas. The material is resistant to warping, cracking, and other forms of wear and tear, ensuring that the entrance retains its elegance and functionality for years to come. Furthermore, its low maintenance requirements alleviate the burden on building owners, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run. Lastly, Sing Core panels all come with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee, so you and your client can rest assured that your beautiful creation will never fail on you.

Conclusion

Creating breathtaking grand entrances is a hallmark of architectural excellence, and Sing Core empowers architects to bring their visionary designs to life. With its remarkable strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal, Sing Core offers unparalleled opportunities for architects to create awe-inspiring entrances that leave a lasting impression on visitors. As this revolutionary material continues to evolve, architects can embrace its qualities to redefine the possibilities of grand entrance design, setting new standards for architectural marvels in the modern era.

Pivot Doors in Commercial Builds

When it comes to commercial buildings, the choice of doors can play a critical role in the overall functionality and design of the space. One type of door that is immensely popular in the architecture industry is the pivot door. Pivot doors offer several benefits that make them an attractive choice for a range of commercial applications, from storefronts and galleries to hotels and offices. In this article, we’ll explore some of the different uses for pivot doors in commercial buildings and how Sing Core can help you achieve the perfect look and functionality for your space.

First, let’s take a look at what makes pivot doors so appealing. Unlike traditional hinged doors that swing on a set of hinges, pivot doors are anchored at the top and bottom, allowing them to rotate smoothly on a fixed pivot point. This design allows for larger and heavier doors to be used, while still maintaining ease of operation. Pivot doors are also known for their sleek, modern look, with clean lines and minimal hardware that create a contemporary feel.

One common use for pivot doors in the commercial scene is as a store entrance. Pivot doors can create an impressive and welcoming entrance for customers, while also allowing for easy accessibility. Additionally, the larger size and unique possibilities of pivot doors can help to make a small storefront appear more spacious and inviting. With Sing Core’s expertise in custom door design, you can choose from a variety of finishes and styles to create a unique entrance that reflects your brand’s aesthetic.

Another popular feature of pivot doors in commercial applications is the possibilities when it comes to size. Pivot doors, unlike hinged doors, can be massive without having to worry about breaking hardware. Pivot doors often make use of much more durable hardware that their hinged counterparts, and by mounting them from the top and bottom you are securing it in a way that puts less overall wear on said hardware. Sing Core panels are particularly great for pivot doors, as their lightweight and highly customizable nature means you can get nearly any door, and of nearly any size, while it remains light and easy to use. With Sing Core’s custom design capabilities, you can also create pivot doors that perfectly match the existing theme of your space, while still providing the functionality you need.

In hotels and other hospitality spaces, pivot doors can be used to create an impressive and memorable entrance. For example, a grand pivot door could be used to create a dramatic entrance to a hotel lobby or event space. Pivot doors can also be used to create privacy and separation within rooms, such as between a sleeping area and a living space, or between two office spaces. With Sing Core’s expertise in creating custom doors, you can create a one-of-a-kind entrance or room divider that will leave a lasting impression on guests.

Finally, pivot doors can be used in a variety of other commercial settings, such as museums, galleries, and retail spaces. In these settings, pivot doors can provide a clean and contemporary look that complements the existing décor while also providing a functional solution for separating spaces or creating an impressive entrance.

In conclusion, pivot doors are a versatile and stylish choice for a wide range of commercial applications. With Sing Core’s expertise in custom door design and manufacturing, you can create the perfect pivot door for your space, whether you’re looking for a grand entrance, a meeting room divider, or a sleek and modern look for your storefront.

There are two main measurements to know when choosing the best fit for your new door.

 

Rough Opening

The rough opening is the space in the bare wall before a frame and door are installed or replaced.

 

Frame size

The door frame size involves measuring the width of the bare wall before the door or frame is installed, leaving about 1/2″ extra for better fitment. You also need to consider how thick the frame itself need to be to support the door of your choice.

Pivot Entry Door

When it comes to large entrance doors, one pivot entry door comes to mind: That beautifully big pivot entry door with natural wood grain is so pleasing to the eye.

Q: How in the world do they keep such an enormous exterior wood door from warping?
A: With Sing Core inside.

Large entrance doors instantly garner attention and add curb appeal to any project, but featuring pivot doors as your entrance door makes an even greater impact on anyone who encounters such an enormous work of art.

Pivoting doors are more in demand because they attract attention like a magnet, especially if your pivot entry door is made of natural wood grain, because this just cries out: “Constant maintenance required” due to changes in the environment which causes such a big wood pivot door to warp. It doesn’t make the pivot door any less beautiful, but the regular maintenance can make such a door far less affordable over time.

That’s where patented Sing Core and inventor Peter Sing’s patent-pending anti-warp devices come to save the day. Sing, also the president of Sing Core, uses his latest technological advancements to help any pivot door company, millwork, or custom pivot door manufacturer build pivot entry doors of immense size quickly and easily without threat of failure or warping.

The idea of a new generation of warp-free modern entry doors is foreign to pivot door designers and engineers of yesteryear, that is, unless they have already heard about – and use – Sing Core inside their most important pivot entry door jobs.

How to Build a Warp-free Pivot Entry Door

Solid wood entry doors present the greatest numbers of challenges for the craftspeople tasked with transferring the architectural pivot door dreams into reality. We love the natural wood grain but it’s tendency to move at the slightest change in the environment creates problems. So, starting with Sing Core is the perfect place to start if you want to put your worries associated with exterior pivot doors behind you.

For years, Sing has been supporting the best of the best in contemporary architecture and designs, as well as the biggest most powerful pivot door companies in the world with the solutions to the problems associated with pivot entry doors over seven ft tall and three-and-a-half ft wide. Once you know how Sing’s core works, you, too, will know how to build a warp-free pivot entry door.

If you look deep inside the structure of Sing’s warp-free pivoting doors, you will find that the first component is torsion box, only the grain is oriented vertically instead of horizontally as is the case for traditional torsion box. Sing also keeps the structure grids of the torsion box very small, like two to three inches. Then, he fills the voids (the open centers of the individual torsion boxes which is normally left hollow) with recycled rigid foam.

Using formaldehyde-free adhesive, Sing cold-presses the composite materials together, sandwiched between two stress skins to create the solid hybrid warp-free pivot entry door blanks which are found inside the best high-end doors.

Even so, Sing’s warp-free technologies do not end there. Pivot entry doors are especially challenging due to potentially having one side of the door facing the elements, as in the case of exterior pivot doors, while the other side faces the structure’s interior. This is the perfect recipe for warping pivot doors.

Sing has a True Flat Team of door engineers in-house who assist in the design and creation of the core in such a way so as to account for all the challenges each pivot entry door may face. For instance, solid wood entry doors present the most problems, but not for Sing’s team.

Wood Entry Doors

They go to work, taking into account all the details of the door, including how the door will be used, what direction will it face, at what altitude will it make its home, what weather conditions will it be subject to, how will it be operated, suspended, and secured? As well as what

Sing Core can be found inside modern entry doors from beneath the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between because it is the highest precision (+/- .006 in.) Eco-friendly fully insulated (R3.5 to R6.5), lightweight (1/3 or less the weight of other solid wood-based cores), high strength (660+ PSI, stronger than steel pound for pound), impact resistant, climate control, and sound deadening pivot door substrate.

Any of Sing’s pivot doors could be made from any flat building materials, such as any type of natural wood grain, aluminum, brass, cement, concrete, cold rolled steel, copper, fiberglass, Formica, FRP, glass, HPL, Kevlar, laminates, Masonite, MDF, stainless steel, veneers, and just about anything you could imagine.

Also, your pivot entry doors are not limited in size, as Sing’s door blanks are featured in really big pivot doors up to 50 ft or more, and each can still be covered by Sing’s 50-year warp-free guarantee.

50-YEAR GUARANTEE

Sing offers the only way to build doors in the world which can be safely and securely guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup, or otherwise fail, (including full structure warranty and guaranteed against delamination) for a full 50 years.

This is the best pivot entry door guarantee in the world, another reason why biggest and best door makers use it.

The world is changing, growing, and expanding at a rapid rate, and Sing’s pivot doors are changing the way architectural pivot doors of any type or style are being made.
