The International African African Museum is a museum of African-American history that was built in Charleston, South Carolina, on the site of Gadsden’s Wharf. The construction of the IAAM began in January 2020 after 20 years of planning. The purpose of the International African American Museum is to tell the unravished stories of the African American experience across generations, the triumph that gave rise to a resilient people.

Pocket Doors

 
 

 
Pocket doors are a type sliding door that recesses into the wall instead of sliding in front of it ultimately becoming invisible. With our light and sturdy core here at Sing Core is possible. They provide a different and unique look to any sliding door application. Pocket doors largely improve the area near the door opening, as a traditional sliding door requires dedicated wall space to open over. Pocket doors fully recess inside of the wall, meaning all of the necessary holding space is in a place you already couldn’t make use of. Pocket doors also prove to be useful in space-saving scenarios, such as in an RV or small office. These doors despite all of these benefits, they do have a couple major drawbacks if not built properly.
 

 
One of the biggest downsides to poorly made pocket doors is that when they warp, they become a huge problem. A pocket door needs to remain on its tracks at all times to function, and a warped door panel could potentially pull it off of the tracks or put extra strain on them. In addition, a warped pocket door can scrape alongside the opening in the wall, damaging the finish of both the door and the wall. There are many other complications that can arise with a door that warps. That’s why we recommend using Sing Core for your pocket door, as it will never warp.
There are many reasons as to why doors warp. It could be the size of the door as in the length, width, and height. Also the skin as in the materials used. Some of these materials are more prone to become warped. Weather also plays a huge role in the life of the door. If the door is consistently in harsh conditions and exposure can become warped in no time. But overall the core of the door is the ultimate performance tester. Most doors have a hollow core that doesn’t give the door a solid foundation to resist warping.

The Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation is leading an effort to redevelop a vacant office building on a key commercial corridor in the Greater Auburn Gresham community. The redevelopment of 839-45 West 79th Street is a development project that will not only urge additional development along the disinvested business district, but will also bring back to life a once prominent commercial building that has stood vacant for twenty years.

 

 

The redevelopment project is being implemented as part of the recently completed Auburn Gresham Quality of Life plan which has several strategies and tasks to improve the quality of life of residents in Auburn Gresham and surrounding communities. During the 1 1/2 year long planning process, more than one-thousand residents were engaged and took part in monthly discussions and together, divided into separate issue area task force teams. The task force teams focused on core areas including: jobs, economic and business development, health and wellness, education, youth development, and more. When complete, the redevelopment of the vacant building into the Auburn Gresham Healthy LifeStyle Technology Hub directly responds to the community’s quality of life plan including workforce development, technology and educational enhancements, along with community development services supporting youth, seniors, families and disenfranchised serving the greater south side.

Need to make a small room seem bigger? Tired of the footprint taken up by the door swing? A pocket door could be the perfect solution to these issues. Pocket doors have their origins in Victorian homes where they often separated formal seating areas or entry ways. A pocket door is a type of sliding door. Unlike a regular door, a pocket door slides in and out of a wall on a track. Sliding Pocket Doors are a great way to conserve space. Similar to sliding barn doors, pocket doors have the ability to be hidden within a wall. Pocket doors are the perfect portal for powder rooms, laundry rooms, pantries or utility rooms. In small areas like these, a standard swinging door would take up a significant amount of space.

What is a pocket door and how does it differ from a regular door? A pocket door is a type of sliding door. A pocket door slides into a hollow cavity, or “pocket,” in the wall.

Pocket doors maximize under-utilized areas around doorways and transform them into smart storage spots. A pocket door simply slides into a frame in the wall, freeing up a great deal more of the room and opening up the design possibilities.

Sliding pocket doors were very popular with turn of the nineteenth century builders and they can be seen in different style and design such as double pocket door. An open interior door breaks up the line of the wall and can look a little clunky.

Pocket doors disappear completely when open, creating an elegant, streamlined appearance. Sliding pocket doors are useful in designing two separate rooms, so that they may be joined as needed. Pocket doors don’t seal a room as tightly as a traditional swinging door, and the typical locking mechanism is flimsier than a tubular latch or deadbolt.

This is why sliding pocket doors are best used as interior doors. Pocket doors are an interesting addition to many homes because they slide into the wall, hiding the door when open. Most of you already probably know this, but for those who don’t, pocket doors are interior doors that “disappear” into a shallow slot inside a wall.

When it comes to saving space, pocket doors are loved by designers, builders and homeowners alike. A pocket door is a great way to pick up usable space that’s normally occupied by a swinging door. Sing Core creates sliding doors and pocket doors for stylish, intuitive, and space-saving solutions.
