Being Eco-Friendly at Sing Core

Sing Core’s Eco-Friendly Design

Here at Sing Core, we strive to leave the Earth better than we found it. That philosophy drives our material sourcing, production methods, and many more aspects about how we run as a company.

Eco-Friendly Sourcing

When it comes to our wood, insulation, and other materials, we source them from the most eco-friendly places we can find. For example, the wood we use is renewable, and our insulation isn’t shredded fiberglass. Our panels are crafted to be high quality, long lasting, and strong, but we don’t sacrifice our Earth-conscious promises to achieve that.

Lower Emissions

Another way we keep our impact on the Earth in check is through lowering our emissions through local production. We are an all American company, and every one of our panels are made in Washington State. By staying local and keeping business in the country, we not only promote and help the economy, but also the environment, as we have significantly lower emissions and fuel consumption compared to companies that outsource their production. Shipping product, especially large custom pieces, can be incredibly time consuming and uses a lot of fuel. This fuel burning can harm the atmosphere, and in some cases, spills and damages can dump toxic gas and oil into the delicate ecosystems in the oceans. Sing Core doesn’t contribute to this damage on the planet, as we keep our production local.

No-Burn Factory

Many factories burn trash, chemicals, or other harmful materials in their production process. These places often have smoke columns and plumes of thick, dark smoke to mark where they are. At Sing Core, we don’t burn anything in our panel production. There is nothing in our process that requires burning, melting, or anything of the sort, and as such our impact on the atmosphere is near zero.

Better Product = Less Waste

Not to gloat, but Sing Core panels are incredibly strong. Not only that, they last a very long time, and even come with a 50 Year Structural and Warp-Free Guarantee. This may seem like a sales pitch, but it actually plays into our environmentally friendly mission. By creating panels that last a long time and can be easily repaired, we greatly reduce the amount of waste from replacing or scrapping projects. Every time a door needs replaced, it ends up in a landfill, or at best parts of it get recycled. With a Sing Core panel, you won’t have to worry about replacing the door any time soon, which in turn cuts down on our impact on the environment.

Sing Core strives for many things, such as creating the best door and wall panels on the market. But in these endeavors, we will never lose sight of the importance of being eco-friendly. We are also always looking for ways to lessen our impact even more, and are working to join the list of companies that can proudly say they’ve made a difference.

What Else Can You Use Sing Core For?

Other Uses for Sing Core

Sing Core panels make amazing door and wall panels for a variety of applications, but what other uses do they have? We already know they’re the best choice for large or custom lightweight doors, or incredibly sturdy walls, but Sing Core has a wide range of other applications.

Tables or Countertops

One of the more common non-door things we Sing Core panels used for is as a table or countertop. Our products work incredibly well for this, as some cases call for a very lightweight and easy to move surface, or others demand a large, custom-shaped table for places like a conference room. Either way, Sing Core panels work great for these applications. You can have the sturdy, warp-free, and high-quality aspects of a Sing Core door, but for your table or counter!

Mobile Cabinets or Containers

There are many different cases where one might need a mobile cabinet or container. Some businesses have rolling cabinets for secure equipment storage, while others need a durable and strong container that can be hauled from location to location. In the case of a storage cabinet, Sing Core works amazingly as it keeps the unit lightweight while also providing rigidity and security that normal, thin cabinet wood does not. Plus, with our new Security Door panel, this can take a cabinet from secure to impenetrable. Businesses that are constantly moving high-end electronics or sensitive documents can make especially good use of a Sing Core storage solution.

As for the case of strong containers meant to be hauled from place to place, Sing Core is again an excellent choice. People or businesses that find themselves regularly transporting hefty or large items may be looking for a reusable container that can guarantee protection for the cargo, without adding much to the weight of it.

Furniture

Sing Core panels can be made to unique sizes and shapes, allowing them to be used for miscellaneous furniture or similar applications. Sing Core has been used to make bunk beds, dressers, storage pieces, and more. This allows for the furniture to be transported incredibly easily, as it would weigh a fraction of a normal unit of the same furniture. We even use furniture made from Sing Core products in our own office, and they are still holding strong and working incredibly well.

Floors

We often think of Sing Core panels being used as doors and walls, but they work just as well as floors. Particularly the floors of upper building levels, as they are incredibly lightweight, but have the structural integrity to withstand walking on. If you’re building a tiny house or some other small structure, using Sing Core for your upper floors may be your best bet, as it allows for easy construction and transportation.

And More!

Sing Core is more than just a door or wall panel, it’s a core that can be used in nearly any aspect of construction. Floors, stairs, furniture, and much more become a possibility with Sing Core. Plus, you still get our 50-Year Structural Guarantee, so you know you won’t need to do any replacing for a long time. When you look around at the things around you or think of new project ideas, consider Sing Core to make it the best it can be!

New SIP Structural Insulated Panels Sips

SIPs are Structural Insulated Panels that are a technology that helped to revolutionize the light construction building industry by using pre-panelized components to build entire structures.

Each Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is manufactured featuring a foam core sandwiched between two OSB (Oriented Strand Board) skins. The thickness of each completed SIP starts at 4-to-6 inches and goes up from there.

SIPs are structurally stable, insulated and reduce construction labor costs.

While SIPs are being widely accepted in the home and green building community, a revolutionary, new patented design improves on the SIP concept significantly.

Homebuilders using SIPs for their exterior walls are now seeking out new alternatives for thinner but stronger internal components like walls, ceilings and floors made of Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels.

Patented Sing Reinforced Structural Insulated Panels (SRSIP)

Inventor, Peter Sing, envisioned a fusion of old and new technologies into a hybrid composite building material that is the affordable Eco-friendly solution to limitations of traditional building materials challenging architects, designers and contractors today.

Sing’s patented design features an improved wood torsion box core that has been known by woodcraftsmen to offer strength and stability for centuries.

This newly invented core bonds wall-to-wall foam to fill the torsion box voids and exterior surface materials together creating a solid Eco-friendly composite that is lightweight and stronger than steel pound for pound.

Due to the built-in torsion box structure, much more structural strength can be achieved using less material, reducing the weight and thickness of Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels. See specs

Any Size	✓	x

Thin Walls	✓	x
Any Shape	✓	x
Any Thickness	✓	x
Any Surface Material	✓	x
Post and Beam	✓	x
Fast Turnaround	✓	x
Eco-friendly	✓	x

Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels start at ¾-to-1 inch in comparison to standard SIPs that start at 2-to-4 inches thick.

Sing Panels enable the builder to create designs that are frame-free because the built-in torsion box structure is more dimensionally stable than a standard stick-framed structure and they are pre-insulated for energy efficiency and sound deadening qualities.

Super-strength

Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels can have over 700 PSI compression strength in comparison to the standard foam used in SIPs which rates at about 15 PSI. There just is no comparison to Sing’s torsion-box-hybrid.

This superior strength enables Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels to outperform other material and has already established a demand with high-end millworks for excellence in maintaining true flatness over long spans, as true flat doors or counter tops over 16 feet in length cannot be affordably lightweight, or straight over long spans, or resistant to warp, twist or rot without using patented Sing Core, which is structurally guaranteed for 10 years, is easy to repair and designed to last for lifetimes.

In fact, if your Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panel is damaged for any reason (even if it’s your fault) we will repair it to its original structural strength.

Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels are so strong, in fact, that entire homes are built using them and they are also used in lightweight high-strength post and beam applications.

Super-thin

Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels are so much thinner than other building materials because of the internal torsion box foam-filled frame structure. While SIPs rely on the exterior stress skin to supply the overall strength of each panel, Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels have the strength built-in requiring very little from the external material, except to complete the torsion box construction.

For instance, standard SIPs have an exterior OSB skin of .50 inch thickness on either side of the foam core, while Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels can have an HPL skin of .020 inch. That’s a savings of 96% in exterior materials, but still extremely strong. See comparison to other building materials.

Highly Customizable

Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panels can be built to your specifications. Whatever your specific requirements are for your project, Sing Core can create the exact panel(s) that you need to make your dream come true. This is why the most reputable architects and high-end millworks in the nation seek us out to solve their size/weight/strength challenges.

Many specifications can be customized to meet your needs, like:

True flat (straight) and stay flat
Length, width, thickness
Weight reduction
Surface materials
Insulative R-value
Insect resistant
Sound-deadening STC rating
Extreme weather exposure
Waterproof
Flame retardant
Bullet and blast proof

In many cases, if your project is struggling against the problems associated with the limitations of traditional building materials, Sing Core may have the right Sing patented reinforced structural insulated panel solution to satisfy your expectations.

We can make any lightweight cold rolled steel panel to your specifications, in any length, any width and any thickness.

Compared with stainless steel plate, stainless steel composite offers increased formability and lighter weight and facilitating installation and handling. Due to the extreme toughness of stainless steel, special fabrication guidelines need to be taken into consideration.

Steel sounds heavy already as we hear the word, but ways to make it lighter are now available. It is not a modification of the material as such but the smart hybridizing of steel with a lightweight honeycomb structure that makes “steel” less massive.

Sing Core Cold Rolled Steel panels consist of two cold rolled stainless steel face sheets enclosing the patented sing core. This innovative core material structurally produces an extremely lightweight panel sporting a true flat surface that excells in both heat and sound reductive properties. Practical applications include decoration of elevators, yachts, exterior an dinterior walls of buildings.

Singcore aluminum honeycomb panels are much stronger than any other sandwich panel due to their torsionbox core grids.

Steel is one of the most common engineering materials in the world. It is a fundamental resource used in a variety of industries for constructing buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, appliances or weapons. It is known for centuries as an incredibly strong and tough construction material.

Sing Core patented honeycomb core is combined with steel skins into a well balanced material system. Outstandingly low weight of this solution compared to any solid metal sheet is just one of the product features.
Sing Core Cold Rolled Steel Panels have a wide range of applications, are not limited in length or width and though we excel in large projects, we also provide solutions for reduced dimesions for smaller projects.
