The Garage Door Solution

Sing Core Garage Doors

The most common problem for garage doors is the continuous exposure to the outdoor elements. Which subjects one side of the door to daily changes in temperature while the other side sees a constant interior temperature. This is where a solid wood garage door would fail and crack due to the wood expanding and contracting inside the door. This is a major flaw which requires frequent maintenance, such as repainting and resealing to prevent water damage.

 

Now with a Sing Core door, a garage door can have any skin from metal to old growth Douglas-fir.

Aluminum and metal skinned

Aluminum is a great option for sliding barn doors. The aluminum produces a lightweight and strong finished product. To seal metal and aluminum doors from the elements we have discovered the perfect solution, vinyl wrap.

 

 

 

Vinyl Wrap

Vinyl wrap will adhere to any door’s surface. The glue will seal out any moisture. The vinyl is fully customizable to any design of your liking and will provide full UV protection of your door. Learn how to build a true flat long lasting carriage door here.

 

 

 

Wood Skinned

The best choice for a wood garage door is AB plywood or marine plywood. There’s no need to worry about the plywood cracking with the inclusion of proper finishing when using Sing Core thanks to our patented and patent-pending torsion box “honeycomb” design. This is why they are used on our Sing Core homes.

Wood Stave

A superior addition to any door is to add wood stave to the face. Our most common wood stave products are clear cedar and douglas fir. With wood stave applied, the door looks like it’s made of solid wood.
Unlike a thin .020 wood veneer; wood stave can be sanded and repaired if damaged. Making wood stave a more durable solution to high traffic areas or commercial applications.
Does your customer need a rugged wood stave skin or a thin veneer? Ask one of our knowledgeable sales engineers about the pros and cons of different skin options and they would be happy to walk you through your options.

1/8″ wood stave is all that is necessary to make your door look like it is made completely out of solid wood. But the secret inside is that your door is exponentially stronger and more stable than a standard solid wood door. Your Sing Core door is also almost a third of the weight of a comparably sized solid wood door. Being lightweight expands the choices of hardware, reduces labor costs to install, and is safer in inclimate weather. This applies to all doors with Sing Core inside; pivot doors, sliding doors, pocket doors, carriage doors, bi fold doors, and other doors with unique hardware configurations.

We have a very large inventory of wood stave in stock. We will sell the wood stave by the square foot and have a wholesale option. Wholesalers are eligible for discounted pricing on wood stave lots. Contact our sales team for details about wood stave lots here.

In terms of strength, weight, and straightness, Sing Core stands out from the competition. We are not here to brag about ourselves, but to kindly remind you not to settle on a single brand of aluminum composite sheet materials. Just because something else worked for you in the past, doesn’t mean that our aluminum plywood panels won’t work for you in the future.

Laminated Plywood

The key to our laminated plywood / aluminum product is the layer of aluminum on the outside. Typical plywood can be rough, unsightly, and susceptible to moisture ingress from exterior environments. This may lead to warpage in signs, lightweight structures, and maritime situations.

That’s where the aluminum comes in! Aluminum is rust free and impervious to the elements. Yet, it remains lightweight, fire resistant, overall very attractive to they eye.

Laminated Aluminum

Our sheets of standard size construction grade plywood are applied, in a proprietary process of “gluing,” in between or on one side of a sheet(s) of aluminum. This is why we call it laminated aluminum. This technology is the key to our success.

In what some might call an “unholy” marriage, the remarkable properties of aluminum are forever wedded to the low-cost availability of plywood sheets. So what are you waiting for?

Sandwich Panels and the Sing Sandwich Panel

sandwich-panels-lightweight-high-strength-stack-sandwich-panelSandwich Panel

Sing Core’s patented green-building material is realized in the Sing Sandwich Panel that increases the strength of the Sing Core by completing the torsion box design. Need more strength? By increasing the thickness of your Sing Sandwich panel by two, the strength is multiplied by four. Four times the strength at very little added weight.

Sing Sandwich Panels are an open-ended Sing Core base sandwiched between two aluminum or wood skins without solid wood or any other material along 4 sides of edges. (See photo to the right.)

Each Sing Sandwich Panel is made of Sing core with wood base skins used as filler. Our Sing sandwich Panel is designed to protect Sing core with wood base skins providing a better bonding surface for adding solid wood block, solid wood edge and final skin resulting in a completed Sing Core Panel.

Standard Sing Sandwich Panel Dimensions:

  • dimension: 12 inch x 48 inch to 4 ft x 8 st
  • thickness from 1/2 inch to 6 inch.

Sing Sandwich Panel Skin Option Examples:

  • plywoodSing sandwich panel
  • solid wood
  • MDF
  • aluminum
  • metal
  • plastic
  • fiber glass
  • cement board
  • concrete
  • ceramic tile
  • glass

… just to name a few, as the possibilities are limited only to any available flat building material.

Applications of Sing Sandwich Panels:

Use as sandwich panel block to drop in any solid wood frame, inbetween two sheets of plywood or any skin materials and cold press with adhesive (in most cases regular carpenter glue will work if it is a wood based skin) to build Sing Core Panels or any other type of Sing products.  The applications are virtually unlimited!

Versatility

Remember, Sing Core technology is completely customizable to your specifications as they are available in any length, any width and any thickness and bonded to any exterior finish.

We are so certain that Sing Core is the solution to your green building challenges that we offer a 100% refund for any prototype order, for those who want to test drive any form of Sing Core products for use in their applications, so you have nothing to lose.

Sing Sandwich Panel

Sandwich Panel

torsion box, sandwich panel, honeycomb panel, lightweight panel

Standard sandwich panels utilize an insulating foam core sandwiched in between two thin sheets of hard material.  However, this design offers very little strength and durability. Sandwich panels made by Sing Core are stronger, lighter, and more eco-friendly than these conventional panels because we replace the standard foam core with our patented vertical grain, natural veneer torsion box grid also known as the Sing Core.  For the consumer, this translates into a higher quality product at a fraction of the cost.

(click to visit our product gallery)

Insulated doors made with traditional sandwich panels are highly susceptible to dents and structural damage because of their weak foam core.  Doors made with our Sing Core sandwich panel technology can withstand much higher impacts resulting in little or no damage due to our unique core properties.  The University of Washington has confirmed that our doors can withstand pressure of up to 660 psi, as compared to the average sandwich panel which can only withstand 60-100 psi.

How can Sing Core sandwich panels be used? Doors, shelving, table-tops, flooring, bookcases, furniture, outdoor decking material, truck/trailer beds even water tanks, to name a few. The possibilities are endless.

 

 

If you desire products that are lightweight, strong, durable, dimensionally stable, and eco-friendly, then you must try our Sing Core Sandwich Panels.  We like to demonstrate our confidence in the integrity of our products by offering our customers a 10 year structural guarantee.
