Oversized Front Door

When it comes to big doors, no one does it better than Sing Core. Who else can make an Eco-friendly oversized front door that is made in the USA, fully insulated, lightweight, stronger than steel pound for pound, and guaranteed not to warp or fail for 50 years? Nobody, unless the door in question has “Sing Core inside.”

Front doors are not only the first thing that you see when approaching a structure, but they have a unique challenge as one side of the front door faces the interior and the other faces the exterior. This is the perfect storm for the warping of exterior doors.

A warped entry door is a problem because it is a huge security issue if the front door cannot be secured because the locking mechanism does not line up correctly. This can also be a problem for climate control for certain times of the year when weather can be extreme in some geographic locations.

Sing Core oversized front doors could be made of any available flat building material but the most problematic entry doors are wooden front doors. Wooden front doors cause the most challenge for warp due to the nature of the natural wood grain to move as it adjusts to changes in the surrounding environment.

Sing Core’s ability to provide a warp-free solution for this type of elegant oversized front door includes the use of patented and patent-pending technologies which are keenly created and suited for the particular door, taking into consideration the height of the door, the width and thickness. Other factors include the wood species used and how much of the wood is featured on the exterior wood doors, as well as taking into consideration the overall seasonal climate where the door is installed, which direction the door is facing, and whether the door is 100% exposed, or not.

All these things factor into the unique creation of a warp-free oversized front door substrate which considers all the aspects of the door. This is a process which is unique only to Sing Core and it’s what makes each door with a 50-year warp-free guarantee an individual work of art.

Many of the best and largest door manufacturers call on Sing Core to assist them in building an oversize front door of integrity and long-lasting performance. Prior to working with Sing Core, many of the largest companies would just refuse to make the big front doors because they knew these big entry doors were going to be problematic.

Custom door manufacturers and the most proficient millwork companies and craftsmen might build out the door to your specifications, but no one would be willing to put their name on the bill more than once, guaranteeing any degree of well-maintained straightness, as prior top Sing Core, this was just not possible. You might be compelled to sign your name the first time due to your level of confidence in your abilities, but after the first time, you’d use the waiver.

Contractors routinely excluded the big front entry doors from their warranty rider(s) for the same reason. It’s like, “if you want a big door, then fine. We’ll find someone to build it for you, but good luck trying to keep it straight.” If you want a big door, you can have it, but the regular maintenance for large wooden front doors is on you, and you can count on it.

Making a large Eco-friendly, lightweight, high strength door that is fully insulated and stronger than steel pound for pound, just cannot be done without Sing Core.

When it comes to oversized doors, don’t you want your doors to be low maintenance and warp-free?

Thanks to the invention of our patented non-warp solution any door of any size can be a warp-free door if it has SingCore inside.

Oversized Doors Challenge

The trouble with oversized doors today is that all over the USA and around the world if the doors are large doors – over 7 ft. tall and 3.5 ft wide – problems will arise causing the door to fail because all big doors warp. That’s the basic problem and SingCore solves that problem quite nicely.

If your oversized door has professional SingCore inside it can be guaranteed to be warp-free for 50 years, including full structural warranty. No other door can be guaranteed to be warp-free unless it has SingCore inside.

The Secret of Warp-free Oversized Doors

The secret of creating warp-free oversized doors is out, and SingCore is the answer. Besides being guaranteed warp-free for 50 years, your high quality doors with SingCore inside offer other features eluding doors manufactured any other way. You can expect some amazing additional attributes due to the composite structure of SingCore door blanks. For instance:

Lightweight: SingCore is a solid internal door core designed for oversized doors that weighs a fraction of other solid wood door cores. Oversized doors with SingCore inside can weigh 100 lbs. each in comparison to the 1,100 lbs. each of the original solid core large doors being architecturally replaced.

High Strength: SingCore has been independently tested and rated at 660 PSI. That’s stronger than steel pound-for-pound. No other lightweight door core material is stronger or more effective for oversized doors that can withstand over 600 lbs.

Will Not Warp, Bend or Twist: Professional SingCore will not warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail due to the vertical grain torsion box structure reinforced with rigid structural strength foam insulation and patent pending stiffeners. Sandwiched between two stress skins SingCore is the only door core material than can be guaranteed warp-free for 50 years.

Insulated: SingCore is packed with insulation for climate control and sound deadening characteristics ranging from R3.5 and up per inch due to the structural insulation used inside the torsion box structural grids. 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, while solid wood is rated at R.71 to R1.4 per inch.

Oversized Garage Doors

When garage door companies create a warp-free insulated exterior 10 ft garage door that stands between the garage door interior and fully exposed to the elements only one high quality large garage door solution can be guaranteed to be warp-free for 50 years. And 8 ft. doors are child’s play for SingCore, the only exterior garage door material that can pack such an impressive warranty. So, if you have a large garage with oversized garage doors and you want worry-free long life and low maintenance, tell your garage door manufacturer, you want, “SingCore inside.”

Oversized Front Door

Not unlike oversized garage doors, the oversized front door is the number one most important access point in the home. Being oversized exterior doors, the importance of lightweight, high strength, warp-free and highly insulated adds to the overall safety and security of the home protecting the family from exterior noise, weather conditions, energy loss, and intruders while maintaining secure, uncompromised door seal. Quite a feat for any oversized doors, and are the only oversized entry doors that can be guaranteed for 50 years.

Oversized Sliding Doors

Oversized sliding doors are the most important oversized doors to keep warp-free for long-term maintenance-free operation, because if the large sliding door were to warp, bend or twist the door becomes damaged or inoperable. This is especially true for oversized pocket doors which are concealed within a hidden compartment inside the wall, when in the open position and warped, may not be easily withdrawn from its resting place when opened, or alternatively may not be opened due to not being able to retract into its predetermined location.

Guaranteed Oversized Doors

Prior to the introduction of SingCore to the oversized door builders, door manufacturers and millworks found it impossible to offer any warranty on 8 foot doors, 10 ft garage doors or even larger doors. Now, thanks to SingCore, they can build and offer a warranty on doors to remain warp-free for 50 years, even if the oversized door spans 50 ft.

Exterior Door Blanks

Patented SingCore makes the best exterior door blanks in the United States of America. Architects, designers, contractors, millworks and door companies come to SingCore for exterior door blanks that outperform other door blanks used in exterior doors.

Why SingCore Exterior Door Blanks?

The answer is

If you want the best exterior door
Start with the best exterior door core

SingCore exterior door blanks are the only door substrate with SingCore inside. Exterior doors of any size with SingCore inside are lightweight, high strength, insulated exterior doors that can be made with any door skin material, including outdoor wooden doors that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for fifty years.

Oversized Entry Doors

When it comes to large oversized doors, Sing door blanks help high end millworks and door companies to supply their clients with the biggest doors with full confidence of providing a oversized exterior that will not fail. Until SingCore exterior door blanks, the common response of door manufacturers was

We don’t build oversized doors

Large doors were any door over seven feet tall or three-and-a-half feet wide. Why? Because they warp; but if they were built not to warp they would be too heavy, causing regular maintenance calls for hardware repair and the heavy door caused extra stress and strain on the both the structure and the frame. Either way, big doors were a headache for both the door company and the end user.

When using Sing exterior door blanks, any exterior doors – even exterior wood doors – can be guaranteed not to fail for 50 years.

Outdoor Wooden Doors

A wood exterior door is problematic due to the nature of the wood grain itself. The grain will either expand or contract due to changes in the environment and change in temperature or moisture will cause the wood to move this way or that. Moving or warping exterior wood doors compromise the door seal, and could prevent the exterior door from latching properly, or in extreme cases, closing at all.

Sing exterior door blanks are wood door skin panels that prevent the failure of any door regardless of exposure to the elements if made with professional warp-free SingCore with wood stave applied using the patented non-warping process.

Door Skin

Patented SingCore can host any exterior door skin material – not just solid wood stave – a welcomed feature to any designer or full service custom door builder. Sind you are not limited to wood door skin panels, your doors can be made of any flat building material, such as aluminum, cold rolled steel, concrete, copper, fiberglass/FRP, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, metal or stainless steel, just to name a few.

Of course, now you can make doors of any available natural wood species warp-free with SingCore inside.

Insulated Exterior Doors

Another unique feature and added benefit of having SingCore inside your oversized entry doors is being able to enjoy having insulated exterior doors which means better energy savings and climate control. Also, because Sing exterior door blanks are packed wall to wall with rigid insulation as part of the torsion box composite solid door blank adding sound dampening qualities for added safety and security at no extra charge; all part of the design.

Solid Core Door Blanks

Sing exterior door blanks are a solid core door material made of natural vertical wood grain torsion box/foam composite yielding exceptional displays of strength with unparalleled resistance to deflection and warping. SingCore is so strong, that it was rated at over 660 PSI when independently tested by the University of Washington. That’s stronger than steel, pound for pound.

The inventor says, “Kick any other door and you break the door. Kick a Sing door and break your leg.”

Don’t break a leg, but do specify “SingCore inside,” when you want the best exterior door of any size that is insulated, lightweight, high strength and can be guaranteed for a full fifty years.
