Revolutionizing Interior Doors for Modern Homes

Introduction

In the realm of interior design, the demand for sleek, functional, and aesthetically pleasing doors has seen a significant rise. Traditional door materials like wood or metal often come with limitations in terms of weight, durability, and design options. Enter Sing Core, a groundbreaking material that has transformed the concept of interior doors for houses. In this article, we will explore the advantages and applications of Sing Core in creating versatile and innovative interior doors.

Unleashing the Potential of Sing Core

Sing Core is a lightweight, high-strength material consisting of a patented honeycomb core. This innovative design allows the doors to be stronger, lighter, and more durable than their conventional counterparts. Made from a combination of wood veneers and composite materials, Sing Core doors possess remarkable dimensional stability and resistance to warping or twisting. This unique composition provides a solid foundation for creating a wide range of interior door designs, ensuring both functionality and style.

Enhanced Durability and Longevity

One of the standout features of Sing Core is its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Despite being lightweight, these doors can withstand heavy impact, reducing the risk of damage from everyday use. This attribute is particularly important in busy households or commercial settings, where doors are subject to constant opening, closing, and potential accidental collisions. With Sing Core doors, homeowners can enjoy long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions that retain their beauty and structural integrity for years to come.

Unmatched Versatility

Sing Core provides endless possibilities for interior door designs. Its compatibility with various finishes, such as paint, wood, metal, and more, allows homeowners to match their doors seamlessly with their interior decor. Whether one prefers a minimalist, contemporary look or a classic, traditional aesthetic, Sing Core doors can be customized to meet any style requirement. Furthermore, the material’s compatibility with different hardware options, such as handles, locks, and hinges, ensures a perfect fit and smooth operation.

Acoustic and Thermal Performance

In addition to its structural benefits, Sing Core excels in providing superior acoustic and thermal insulation. The insulated honeycomb core effectively dampens sound transmission, making Sing Core doors an excellent choice for bedrooms, offices, or any space where privacy and noise reduction are paramount. Furthermore, the insulation properties of Sing Core help maintain a comfortable indoor environment by minimizing heat transfer, ultimately contributing to energy efficiency.

Environmentally Conscious Choice

Sing Core’s commitment to sustainability sets it apart from other door materials. The manufacturing process incorporates eco-friendly practices, utilizing sustainable materials and reducing waste. Additionally, the lightweight nature of Sing Core doors reduces transportation costs and energy consumption during installation. By choosing Sing Core doors, homeowners can contribute to a greener future without compromising on quality or design.

Conclusion

Innovations in interior design continue to shape the way we perceive and interact with our living spaces. Sing Core stands as a prime example, revolutionizing the concept of interior doors for houses. With its unparalleled strength, versatility, durability, and eco-friendly features, Sing Core has become the go-to choice for designers and homeowners seeking top-quality doors that seamlessly blend functionality and style. Whether for residential or commercial projects, Sing Core’s remarkable characteristics ensure that interior doors become a focal point, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal and functionality of any space.

Large Doors by Sing Core

We often mention how amazing Sing Core is for making large, or even massive doors. However, what kind of claim would that be if we couldn’t back it up with proof? In this article we will go over three amazing and massive doors that were made possible by Sing Core, as well as why Sing Core panels are the best, and often the only choice to make large doors possible.

Laserfiche Dual Sliding Doors

The first example of large doors we’ll cover is a set of two sliding doors made for the Laserfiche headquarters in California. The largest of these doors is 102 inches tall by 118 inches wide, or 8.5 feet tall by 9.8 feet wide. The designers and installation crew did an amazing job with these beautiful doors, especially given their unique case of closing off the corner of the room as opposed to a more traditional sliding door setup. You can read more about this project here.

University of Idaho Arena Door

Another recent project that yielded a massive and gorgeous door was this crowd control door for the Idaho Central Arena. This large door measures in at 89.5 inches tall and 120.5 inches wide, or approximately 7.5 feet tall by 10 feet wide. This door acts as both an access point and a traffic control mechanism. When closed, this door simply seals off an area, but by opening it and positioning it as desired, you can divert the massive crowds within the arena onto a new route. Due to its use in a high traffic area, it also needs to be more sturdy and durable than a traditional door, which was made easy with Sing Core. You can read more about this project here.

Giant Pink Door

Though we’ve shown this door off before, it simply can’t be left off of this list. It is a perfect example of a large custom door that simply would not have been possible without Sing Core. This door is 156 inches tall by 36 inches wide, or 13 feet tall by 3 feet wide. In addition to this door’s unique and massive size, it also needed one key feature of Sing Core panels: to be lightweight. This door, unlike most large doors, is mounted on hinges. Typically large doors use rollers or a pivot mechanism, however not this one. As such, it had to be incredibly lightweight for its size, as hinges are far more likely to bend, break, or otherwise develop problems if they are supporting a lot of weight. This door, like all Sing Core doors, is very light compared to traditional options, and yet sacrifices none of the strength.

There are many reasons why you may want to use Sing Core for your large doors, but ultimately what makes our product special is its superior strength, high quality, and low weight. In addition, our panels will never warp or bend, which large doors are especially prone to. Warping is a quick way to permanently ruin a door, but with Sing Core, you can rest easy knowing that it will never happen. In fact, we offer a 50 Year Warp-Free Guarantee as a testament to that fact.

Use Sing Core for your large custom doors, and witness the difference and ease as a result!

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. Contact Sing Core today to learn more about how we can help you create the perfect pivot door for your commercial building.

Hinged Doors vs Pivot Doors, Which is Better?

Hinged Door vs Pivot Door

Many different styles and designs fill the door industry, and two of the most popular are hinged doors and pivot doors. They may sound similar, but they have fundamental differences in their operation and design that set them apart. Both are great options, but let’s go over what each style is, and when you may or may not want to use it.

What is a Hinged Door?

This is what most people think of first when they think of a door. The classic barrier held up on 2-3 hinges on one side. These doors are the classic choice for a reason; they’re easy and they work. Hinged doors have been around since 1600 B.C., over 3,600 years ago. The hinges attach to both the wall and the door itself, allowing it to swing open and shut freely. There are many benefits to hinge doors, one of which being how universally understood they are. Hinged doors can usually be installed rather easily, are simple to operate, and most maintenance can be done by the home or business owner. In addition, for many small to standard sized doors, hinges work great.

The downsides to hinged doors mostly revolve around the hardware and opening mechanics. Hinges have several points where they can bend, break, or seize up, and that would cause the door to cease operating or be severely limited in its functionality. The door rests entirely suspended by the hinges. This means there is constant pressure pulling away from them, and depending on the size and weight of your door, this can turn into a big problem. A squeaky hinge is one thing, but a broken hinge causes the door to be completely inoperable in some cases, and usually leads to the other hinges breaking soon due to the increased weight on them.

Hinged doors are still fantastic options for many situations, but when it comes to large and heavy doors, they present some potential problems.

What is a Pivot Door?

Pivot doors at first seem to function much like hinged doors. They pivot open from one side, and can look nearly identical. However, where hinged doors use hinges to mount to the wall, pivot doors have a slightly more unique mechanic.

Pivot doors usually are mounted from the top and bottom near one side of the door, as opposed to the side. This attachment can be imagined as a pole running through the door, and the door rotates around said pole. This is just a simple explanation, though, as pivot doors can be attached in many different ways. A pivot door opens up in a similar fashion to the hinged door, but is often far smoother to operate and present a more unique visual, given the door is actually rotating away from the wall on both sides.

Pivot doors are much more stable choices when it comes to large and heavy doors, and standard sized doors as well. Because they are not attached and completely suspended from one side, they have far less impact on their hardware. In addition, pivot doors are usually made with more resilient hardware to begin with, so your door will remain beautiful and functional for a very long time.

The downsides of a pivot door mainly revolve around the maintenance and installation, as they are far more specialized entryways. Pivot doors often need a trade professional to install, and should anything happen to the door, maintaining its operating point can be far more difficult.

To alleviate the problem with both doors, we suggest using Sing Core for your pivot and hinged door panels! The lightweight and resilient nature of Sing Core significantly lowers the risk associated with these doors and leaves you with a fantastic door guaranteed for 50 Years.

Innovate Your Build with Sing Core

Innovative Design Possibilities with Sing Core

A door says a lot about your home or office, and designers are creating the biggest, best, and most beautiful door designs for their projects. Many of these grand doors use Sing Core panels due to their strength, lightweight nature, and customizability. Let’s go over some of the best doors made with Sing Core.

Massive Pink Door

This huge door was installed in a luxury home, and stands 13 feet tall and 3 feet wide. This beautiful door features a hardwood frame and was crafted to artisanal quality. This door operates as a hinged door, and can be easily opened and closed despite its size due to the lightweight nature of Sing Core panels. Due to this, the hinges will last far longer than they would with a traditional heavy door. Between the excellent quality, long life span, and the beautiful work done by the architect and design team, this bright door will bring color and life to the residence for an incredibly long time.

Large Gray Door

This massive pivot door is 5 foot 3 inches wide and nearly 10 feet tall. It serves as the exterior door to a home, and offers a huge entryway that is not common with traditional doors. The door swings open as a pivot door, similar to a hinge door, but the hardware usually attaches to the top and bottom of the door as opposed to mounted on the side. Sing Core panels work very well for pivot doors, as their customizable design can be made to account for the different hardware. This door’s massive size would lead to it being incredibly heavy and hard to operate with other building methods, but with Sing Core it remains easy to use and looking great.

Laserfiche Sliding Doors

The Laserfiche California Headquarters worked with Sing Core to make several doors for their offices, this large set of corner sliding doors being the highlight piece. This high end large door slides back along the squared walls to reveal the room within, opening up a huge entryway. It can also be closed to seal the room off in a box manner. Sing Core panels work especially well for sliding doors, as their combination of unique hardware and function, plus the limitations that are put in place by the mechanisms present many challenges when it comes to weight and size. A set of sliding doors of this size would certainly be unwieldy, require even more expensive hardware, and would have many other drawbacks. With Sing Core, these doors remain light and easy to use despite their size, and as such easily roll along their tracks to open and close.

Sing Core is proud to be involved in so many important projects, and we are confident that our panels allow more innovative and fun designs. Whether you’re working on a large door, custom shaped door, or a door with any other number of features, contact Sing Core to learn how we can enhance your project and build the best door together.

Why Sliding Doors are Taking Over the Industry

Sliding Doors are Taking Over

From hinge doors to incredibly unique doors, there are many popular designs to choose from when deciding what kind of front, feature, or office door you want. A style that is becoming increasingly popular is the sliding door.

Why Sliding Doors?

Sliding doors are unique when compared to most other forms of entry on the market, given one main feature: they slide. Obvious, we know, but it’s an important distinction to make, since that one aspect brings a wide range of advantages.

First, a sliding door has a tiny footprint when compared to most other door options. Any entryway that swings out or folds to the side has a functional footprint that is much larger than the door itself, as it usually takes up its full length on two axes. A sliding door does not have that limitation, as instead of swinging open, it instead slides over the wall, over itself, or into a concealed pocket. This greatly reduces its footprint and keeps the surrounding area clear of any “door swing”.

Second, a sliding door offers a few additional options and features over a traditional hinge or pivot door. Sliding doors can be large or small, and the general installation remains the same, whereas particularly large doors of other varieties can require special hardware or reinforcement of the door jam. Sliding doors are also easy to adapt to nearly any setting, with just a few slight modifications. Do you want a sliding door that can lock and secure a room? That can be done with ease. Are you looking for a spectacular door that can open up into a large room in a unique way, like this sliding door as Laserfiche that Sing Core made possible? With a traditional swing door that would be difficult, but with sliding doors, it becomes a beautiful centerpiece that people will talk about for years to come.

And Third, sliding doors are the modern pick. Simply put, swing doors are out and sliding doors are in. If you’re looking for a way to bring some extra flair to a modern build, a sliding door is a great way to do it. They look great, function easily, and fit the streamlined and sleek concept that is taking over so many design trends. Don’t get us wrong, hinge and pivot doors are still fantastic options, and they have their uses, but the modern architect is moving toward sliding doors as the go-to option.

Summary

Sing Core can help create amazing doors of any style, and we by no means want to discourage people from using pivot, hinge, or other door types if that’s what they are set on! When it comes to modern designs, office buildings, and other scenarios where you may want to build a trendy, fun, and sleek atmosphere, sliding doors are the best option. From visuals to functionality, sliding doors are the way of the future, and Sing Core, we can make your sliding door dream a reality!
