Sorority House Installs Sing Core Door

The University of Alabama is an outstanding institution with a vast amount of students, clubs, and organizations. Among these proud groups are fraternities and sororities, particularly the Tri Delta Sorority. Tri Delta is a sisterhood that was formed in 1888 by two young women, and has continued to be a fun and inclusive community for students ever since.

The Project

The Tri Delta sorority house serves many purposes and hosts many events, some of which are meetings in a set meeting hall. This hall needed a large sliding door to allow entrance from the nearby chamber, and the amazing designers at Ellis Architects worked with Sing Core to make that door happen. The door consists of two panels, both measuring 89 inches by 103.5 inches, and was finished with 3/8 inch MDF.

Why They Chose Sing Core

There are many reasons why the designers and builders chose Sing Core for this project, and several of them come down to the needs of the room and the benefits of Sing Core. Some of the main reasons builders use Sing Core is for the strength, durability, and lightweight nature of our panels. These benefits apply to every use. A strong door is essential to withstanding impacts and heavy traffic, and being lightweight improves a door’s function, ease of use, and extends the life of its hardware. A durable door means it will continue to function for a long time without needing repair or replacement, and Sing Core hits all three of these points.

Light and Strong

Sing Core doors are pound for pound stronger than steel, and incredibly lightweight. This is achieved through our patented honeycomb core construction technology. Our core is strong and insulated, as well as very light. It can out-perform other conventional building methods while remaining a fraction of their weight. This lightweight nature also improves its ease of use, as a lighter door is going to swing or slide open much easier than a heavier version.

Durable and Long-Lasting

It seems an odd thought to many that a door can fail, but it happens all the time. Doors made in various ways can bend, warp, crack, delaminate, or do one of many other catastrophic things that renders them useless. Sometimes these issues can be repaired, but it’s best to never have them happen in the first place. Sing Core doors are incredibly durable, and carry the industry’s only 50 Year Warp and Fail Free Guarantee. Our doors will never warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail, and that is all due to our innovative honeycomb core and the high quality materials we use in the construction process.

Other Perks of Sing Core

There are even more reasons why Sing Core was the best pick for this project, including design versatility and sound reduction. Sing Core has many different options when it comes to panel design, including custom dimensions, numerous options for finish, and other optional traits. In addition, our insulated core provides added sound dampening, reducing noise pollution and allowing the meeting hall to remain focused and isolated from outside noise.

Sing Core is honored to have been included in this project, and are thrilled with the amazing design work of Ellis Architects and the installation of the building team.

Stand-Up Computer Workstation

adjustable-height-mobile-sit-stand-computer-workstation-for-stand-up-operatorThe most popular gift for university students, this year, is the standing computer desk.

This ergonomic upright computer desk allows the student to operate the computer while standing, enjoying the health benefits over operating a computer from a sitting position.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

This unique design offers many options for the student or interior designer, including:

  • sleek design (24.5″ x 46″ x 12″)
  • stack multiples into wall units
  • adjustable shelves
  • use as:
  • bookshelves
  • extra closet space
  • storage
  • moving box
  • dresser

Due to the patented Sing Core material, when used as shelving, each shelf will withstand up to 180lbs of books (or whatever) with no deflection and the upright computer stand’s layout and design takes up little space in a student’s dorm room, while utilizing the shelves beneath to act as storage.

The Sing Upright Computer stand weighs-in at only 18lbs, so it is easy to move from here to there when necessary – and is so light weight, we offer free shipping to you (some assembly required).

People who sit at desks for long periods of time develop health issues similar to those of long-haul truck drivers. Metabolic and digestive systems fail to operate in optimal capacity, leading to weight gain and reduction of overall health, including back pain and higher likelihood of contracting diabetes.

Standing while working at the computer is increasingly the alternative to traditional sitting workstations increasing circulation, reducing blood pressure and promoting better health. Students who use the standing computer work station report greater creativity and less fatigue while working for long hours.

Also by simply using a standing workstation rather than sitting at a desk burns an extra 500 calories a day, just by getting up out of that chair and working at this space-saving alternative that takes up much less real estate than a sitting desk.
