Foam Core Alternative

Foam-Panel-Interior-Structural-Torsion-Box-Sing-Core-RevealedSing Core melds the best of two worlds, the lightweight scientific development and the best of nature’s natural resources into Eco-friendly high-tech, space-age advanced composites.

Foam core panels have served the building and construction community well, helping address the issues of weight in large projects. Used as a substrate, foam core panels are lightweight and somewhat rigid and can be glued to a variety of materials to strengthen or give it a more strong appearance.

To increase the strength of foam core you must increase the density, which increases both the weight and price of the lightweight core and is not good for our environment.

Enter inventor Peter sing’s new invention: Sing Core. The revolutionary new material that takes the positive attributes of foam core material combines it with the best of nature and high-end traditional woodworking craftsmanship, to reveal a spectacular hybrid.

styrofoam-panels-lightweight-no-strengthUsing the science behind foam materials, the repurposed natural wood grain from nature and the best of woodworking craftsmanship, Sing Core is the most significant improvement in the building and construction trades in the last decade.

While traditional torsion box interior has been an effective woodcraftsman’s solution for centuries, it was reserved only for extremely high-end applications, due to the intense labor of building the torsion boxes used in the inner structure. By combining the strength of torsion box and filling the voids that would normally only be filled with air with recycled foam Sing Core raises the bar on being extremely lightweight and super-strong

Foam cores used in aerospace engineering have low compression strengths, yet Sing Core tests out at 660 PSI (and can be increased to meet your specifications), that is stronger than steel pound for pound (even bullet proof doors don’t test that high). Due to its unique design, Sing Core is much stronger when compared to other materials.

Sing Core is so much more affordable than custom woodwork because this patented technology can generate high-performance torsion box inexpensively and efficiently, especially if you are considering incorporating it as a lightweight substrate material for a large project, like a door, a table top, conference table, etc… See more applications.

Sing Core can use a wide variety of foam materials to meet your most demanding specifications including (but not limited to) polyurethane, polystyrene and styrofoam. Upgrading to closed-cell foam, makes Sing Core a perfect match for marine applications, like decking materials.

Quick Easy Sound Proof Rooms Set Up Tear Down

Sing Core is in the business of helping solve the challenges that face a variety of situations across many industries. Due to the innate sound-deadening qualities of patented Sing Core, there is increasing number of inquiries and applications of interest to designers, architects, high-end audiophiles and homeowners.

Among the various business segments we (Sing Panels) are often invited to join our business clients as they fabricate their own trade show booths on-the-fly. Rather than relying on us (or third-party designers) they simply obtain Sing Panels as their raw materials, then build and decorate to their heart’s content.

At a trade show you want to look your best and sometimes it is important to have a professionally isolated area where you can interact with your clients without the distraction of the ongoing tradeshow noise and distractions.

You could spend top-dollar for your Sing Trade Show Booth, or simply do it yourself. All you need to do is to order the number of Sing Panels that you need to create your booth, i.e., a 12 x 8 trade show booth can be easily constructed our of seven Sing Panels (three for the back and two for each side). Your trade show booth can be assembled quickly, easily and quietly with an electric screwdriver, and can be assembled in minutes singlehandedly.

Occasionally, at an increasing rate of late, our tradeshow people have been using Sing Panels as their structure material for building on site sound proof rooms that are built rapidly at low cost.

Here are the DIY methods that we’ve seen used by some of our clients build the sound proof disposable conference rooms, or presentation theaters:

Quickly assemble a number of 4 ft. x 8 ft. x 2 in. (with ¼ in. luan facing) Sing Panels into the desired room configuration.

You will need a door for access. There are 3 ways to do this:

  1. Order 1 Sing Panels with a door (could be a Sing Sound Proof Door) built-in
  2. Cut a Sing Panel and insert your own door on site
  3. Hinge an entire Sing Panel as an access point

Using this method you will be able to assemble your private area within minutes.

To increase sound crossover and privacy, add panels as floor and ceiling then consider how to sound proof a room:

The Inexpensive, Quick and Easy Way to Sound Proof Your Area

To sound proof your area, you could get Sing Sound Panels which are normally more expensive and used in permanent installations, or you could use the methods used by many of our tradeshow attendees and save thousands and thousands of dollars:

Once you have your basic Sing Panel structure assembled (including floor and ceiling) add as many layers of sheetrock to the exterior (and interior, if desired) as needed to obtain the level of sound-proofing desired.

Just have a local lumberyard deliver the sheetrock that you need, affixing them to your existing Sing Core structure.

“How many layers of sheetrock can the Sing Panels hold?”

Remember, Sing Panels are not only lightweight and sound-dampening but they are also strong. Even without a frame (you don’t really need one because of the built-in torsion box frame) Sing Panels are many times stronger than a rinky-dink 2×4 frame and in fact are stronger than steel (see comparison). So, if you wanted to add a layer of lead for increased sound deadening, your Sing Panel frame can easily handle the extra weight.

An impressive way to increase the sound-deadening qualities of your structure is to alternate layers of sheetrock with sing panels. For example, the basic structure might be your Sing Panel core with sheet rock on both the inside and outside. On the outside and another later of Sing Panel add another layer of sheetrock to achieve the desired result.

You can also add polystyrene, dynamat. polyurethane foam, acoustic textileperforated acoustical soundboard or sound proof foam material to either the exterior or interior of your structure, or both.

Disposable Theater and/or Conference Room

Disassembly of your Sing Core theater or conference room is as easy as reversing the direction on your screwdriver.

Many of our economy sound-proof trade show people simply disassemble their areas, leaving the sheetrock behind for the convention center to dispose of (sometimes they even leave the Sing Panels behind, too, but most of them take the panels with them, if they can).

Perfect for the Do-It-Yourselfer

Think of the time and money you can save by using Sing Panels as your core structure material, then have no fear in adding as much material as you want to bring your acoustic dream to life. Sing Core is strong enough to bear the weight of the heaviest sound-proofing materials, without fail. Don’t be framed, or shy, when using Sing Core.

Here are some do-it-yourself videos to assist you on your road toward having your own sound room:
