Large sliding doors are a challenge for any door manufacturer, especially if they are more than 7 ft. tall because they will warp, compromising the performance of the sliding doors and causing strain on hardware and structure due to heavy weight. That’s where Sing Core comes in.
Our non-warp experts – and the clients that we serve – know that Professional Sing Panels are the only materials that can create a lightweight, insulated, high precision large door that can be guaranteed for 50 years for warp and structure.
Sing Core is growing in popularity across all industries as the large door solution, especially if doors are prone to warp (which most big doors are) but we also help architects, door manufacturers and high-end millworks create the best Doors of Any Size, type or style and is increasingly being sought out for endless products.
How to Build a Large Non-warp Sliding Door
The first step is to contact us with the specs for the doors that you want. The specific size(s), the exterior surface material desired and the functionality of the door, including exposure to weather conditions.
Next up, your specifications are reviewed and conferred with the trade professional via FREE Consultation.
After your free consultation, the True Flat Team will help design to design the metrics matrix of your door’s composition to result in a door that can meet or exceed your expectations and be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail (including full structural integrity) for 50 years.
At the factory, door substrate specialists bond all the materials (patented Sing Core, interior hard point blocking, Professional Sing Panels, surface materials and edging) to the design specifications.
Professional Sing Panels are extremely strong and resistant to deflection, like these non-warping door blanks that are lightweight and stronger than steel pound-for-pound.
Then skins are applied and following curing, the door blanks are shipped to door finishers who complete the door manufacturing process.
Now, your door is ready to go to the job site for installation.
The final result is an Eco-friendly lightweight, insulated, high precision large door that will not fail for 50 years, guaranteed.
These large lightweight panels with extraordinary strength can also be true flat and used for sliding doors, barn doors, carriage doors, moveable walls; if laid flat, can become table top, stage floor or mezzanine floor.
Check out the new doors for one of the world’s largest distributors of mint oil! We were really happy to build two sets of large oversize doors for an essential oil warehouse recently. One pair of panels became the double door set opens to the sides (left), while the other set of three rolls off to the same side (right).
It was important for the customer that the doors fit their doorway shape and be easy to roll. These sliding doors have a patented torsion box foam core that will keep them lightweight and smooth rolling. The series of three rolling doors link together and slide so easily that one person can push it open with just one finger.
The customer was satisfied not to need special slider tracks for our panels. Even though the doors are enormous, they don’t have the weight problems of solid core doors.
When Peter hand delivered the panels, everyone was smiling because they knew they had made the right decision in purchasing non-warping Professional Sing Panels.
Made of Any Material
Yes, thanks to Sing Core, you can have your large doors of any size made out of any flat building material, such as any available natural wood, aluminum, brass, cold rolled steel, concrete, copper, fiberglass, FRP, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, LVL, metal, stainless steel, and the list goes on and on… Like these hot rolled steel doors, easily operated by hand…

Since Sing Core is known all over the world as the number one source for Eco-friendly insulated carriage doors that are lightweight, high-strength and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend twist or otherwise fail for fifty years, we get a lot of calls and requests from individuals seeking our specialized non-warping carriage doors. The only problem is, we don’t make carriage doors.
We make the non-warping panels that are used by garage door manufacturers and high end millworks who use Sing Panels as a base material to create their non-warp carriage doors.
Using Professional Sing Panels, you can create carriage doors that are Eco-friendly, Warp-free, Airtight, Weatherproof, Insulated, Energy-efficient, Lightweight and High-strength.
So, we thought we’d take a moment to explain how sing carriage doors are actually made.
Now that you have a Sing Panels as your base material (guaranteed non warping carriage doors are made with Professional Sing Panels), your custom garage door manufacturer or high end millwork (even some savvy do-it-yourself carriage door builders DIY-style) completes the door design by continuing the process:
You could be one of the best door builders by outsourcing your OEM non warping door blanks.
Sing Core has served the building industry by providing the only Eco-friendly, insulated non-warp high-strength, lightweight door. Contractors who build Sing Homes (entire homes built of Sing products) want the added strength, stability, insulation and non-warping doors in all egress points for added safety and security.
First, we have to talk about what makes the best door in the world; it has to be:
1 Non Warp
Even the very challenging doors, large doors, sliding doors, pivot doors, all can be warp-free. In fact SingCore creates unfinished premium doors that can be guaranteed for 50 years. Door makers use the Sing solution as their door’s base material to create a warp-free door, which is the best solution to the problem of warping doors, especially large doors which would otherwise be extremely prone to warp.
2 Lightweight, high strength, insulated and Eco friendly
The strongest lightweight door in the world is made with Sing Core inside. This revolutionary Eco-friendly building material is based on patented technology that is the best of old wood craftsmen’s technology (torsion box) and new composite technology (recycled rigid foam insulation) fused with advanced adhesives and enhanced with patent pending non-warp stiffeners. The result is an extremely lightweight panel that can span distances without deflection that has not been accomplished before in any affordable manner.
3 Easy to Install
Even the largest strongest sound deadening door can be installed in half an hour. This 500 pound Sing pivot door panel measures 10 ft. tall x 12 ft. wide x 3.5 inch thick and took less than half an hour to install in the Seattle Center for Architecture and Design.
Here’s how it’s done: Purchase a Sing door panel decide on custom lite cutout design and hire a pre-hung door company or millwork to install lite, hardware, sand and finish, then deliver the resulting door to your job site or customer.

The Professional Sing Sandwich panel starts as a 4 ft x 8 ft Sing “sandwiched” panel. Professional Sing Sandwich panels are guaranteed not to warp for 50 years.
If you are an architect, general contractor or home owner and expect a non-warp guarantee from the door manufacturers (especially the very large and expensive doors) you would be very hard-pressed to come to an adequate warranty arrangement with either a door manufacturer or millwork because large doors and doors made of exotic woods are prone to fail; that is, unless the door is made with Professional Sing Sandwich inside. This is how we help to make the best doors in the world that can be guaranteed not to warp for 50 years.
Professional Sing Sandwich panels do not have a solid wood edge. For embedded solid wood edging, see: Professional Sing Panel. Just like it’s name Sandwich means professional patented Sing Core is “sandwiched” between two skins. This creates the best non-warp, lightweight, high strength panel material for superior construction.
A Professional Sing Sandwich panel consists of a substrate of 1 inch patented Sing Core® torsion box reinforced insulated substrate with special patent pending Sing stiffeners sandwiched between two ¼ inch sheets of plywood, resulting in the most Eco-friendly lightweight and high-strength (660 PSI, stronger than steel pound-for-pound) non-warp material. The Professional Sing Sandwich panel is the basis of many applications spanning a multitude of industries.
All Professional Sing Panels are guaranteed not to warp and maintain full structure strength for 50 years. There are no maximum size limitations. For doors that exceed shipping or building entry constraints a Sing Core Patented Modular Large Door System is the solution.
Custom sizes and thicknesses available. We are experts in manufacturing true flat panels and non-warping panels for very large doors, walls, tables and more…
Professional panels are made of a wood torsion box grid with foam inserts, professional stiffeners, a solid wood frame with blocking for hardware, and two matching skins “sandwiching” the core.

Custom Professional Sing Panel
Custom Professional Sing Panels are available in any size, any thickness i.e., large oversize panels or planks, posts and beams, with any of the following custom options.
Custom Professional Sing Panel Upgrade Options
Available to trade professionals and industries are a myriad of Sing Panel options that include (but are not limited to):
Non-warping Sing Sliding Door in closed position
SKIN CHOICE (SURFACE MATERIAL)
There are many options for Sing Core panels. (See: Material Options)
Paint Grade: 1/4 inch or thicker plywood, MDF, Masonite
And any other options that may be available per your specifications. Contact us for more information.
WINDOW AND DOOR CUTOFFS
Sing Core provides Sing panels with window and door pre-cut and ready for installation. We will cut 1/8 larger in width and 3/16 inch wider in length to fit your window glass. We build a frame using 1.25 inch solid wood to your specifications.
MOLDING/TRIM
Sing Core windows and doors are profile ready for CNC routing. You may add molding or trim to create your own window or door design, otherwise we will provide you with thicker skin – such as 1/4 inch or thicker MDF, hardboard, etc. – for you to carve or profile by CNC machine. With Sing Core windows and doors you can create a true raised-panel door or any design you desire.
Trim added to create a raised panel door
TRIMMED OR UNTRIMMED (RAW EDGES)
The standard ready-to-ship panel condition is, “untrimmed.” This leaves unfinished exterior edges that may have exposed adhesive and might require being built ½ inch over-sized for trimming at your location. An additional fee will be assessed for trimming and sizing in our factory.
All trimmed edges are 1/2 inch over width and 1/2 inch over length. After trimming, your Sing Panel will be 1/2 inch less (4 x 8 will be 47.5 inch x 95.5 inch). Standard solid wood edging with 1.5 inch will be reduced to 1.25 inch after trimming.
UNTRIMMED PANEL (RAW)
Many of our customers prefer their panels untrimmed because this allows them to trim their panels to exact size on site before installing them in their door openings. That way they can have the peace of mind that their door will fit the opening exactly as intended.
TRIMMED PANEL
Customers who want their panels cut to exact size before they receive them should choose the trimmed selection. This gives them the option of doing less work on site, but it also means they must be much more precise with their measurements before ordering their panels. Trimmed also costs slightly more because it is more labor intensive to trim the panels in house.
BLOCKING FOR HARDWARE
Sing Core panels can be used with any hardware that is rated for the weight of the panel. Solid wood blocking is placed in your specified locations to accommodate your hardware. How to specify your blocking for hardware.
INSULATION VALUE
R-value 3.5 (EPS foam)
R-value 5.7 (urethane foam)
WEIGHT
Sing Core panels weigh only 4 to 5 pounds per cubic foot depending on your skin choice.
COMPRESSION STRENGTH
Our 1-inch professional grade panels have been tested to reach 660 psi.
WARRANTY
Sing Products come with a limited lifetime guarantee. (See Warranty Information)
Professional Sing Panels commonly have a solid wood edge (1.25 inch is standard, any custom size is available).
Professional patented Sing Core creates the best non-warp, lightweight, high strength panel material for superior construction with embedded professional stiffeners.
If you are an architect, general contractor or millwork and expect a non-warp guarantee from the door manufacturers (especially the very large and expensive doors) you would be very hard-pressed to come to an adequate warranty arrangement with either a door manufacturer or millwork because large doors and doors made of exotic woods are prone to fail; that is, unless the door is made with Professional Sing Panel inside. This is how we help to make the best doors in the world that can be guaranteed for structure strength and not to warp for 50 years.
In the event one side is exposed to excessive moisture or temperature then it could cause warping if the panel is very thin. If you have high expectations for non warping (which most of the high end large doors have problems with) Professional Sing Panels are the only insulated panels that warp less than any known core material. All Sing customers are happy with what we deliver when using the Professional Sing Panel to build their non-warping doors; which is changing the previously known idea that all the large doors in North America warp due to the change of seasons. The secret inside the best non-warping doors is the Professional Sing Core which keeps the Professional Sing Panel flat from our factory to its destination and stay flat for 50 years with structural integrity guaranteed.
A Professional Sing Panel consists of a substrate of patented Sing Core torsion box reinforced insulated core with special patent pending Sing stiffeners sandwiched between two ¼ inch sheets of plywood, resulting in the most Eco-friendly lightweight and high-strength (660 PSI, stronger than steel pound-for-pound) non-warp material. The Professional Sing Panel is the basis of many applications spanning a multitude of industries.

What is the different between Sing Sandwich and Sing Panel?
Sing Sandwich panel is like core but with top and bottom skin made of 1/4 inch plywood for easy sanding, cutting and handling. It could be used by itself click here to see, or use as core to build many unique products. Anything that can be done with Sing Panel can be done with Sing Sandwich. With Sing Sandwich you could build nearly anything that can be built with Sing Panel with less cost and easy to do. Create your own custom Sing Panels using Sing Sandwich as core cut-to-size, add solid wood edges and any desired surface material (many high end millworks across the USA are doing this) directly or indirectly to the Sing Sandwich surface.
Sing Sandwich Panel can be used as substrate or filler to build all kinds of Sing lightweight, high strength, insulated and reinforced products.
Use as substrate, or sandwich panel block to drop in any solid wood frame, in between two sheets of plywood or any skin materials and cold press with adhesive (in most cases regular carpenter glue will work because it is a wood-based skin) to build your own Sing Panels or any other product that could benefit from Sing Core’s superior characteristics.

… just to name a few, (skin options available in Sing Panel configuration as the possibilities are limited only to any available flat building material).
Applications of Sing Sandwich Panels:
Sing Sandwich in its original form is perfect for use as:
A 4 ft x 8 ft x 1.5 inch Sing Sandwich panel with plywood skin weighs approximately 55 lbs. 55 pounds is a fraction of the weight of the equivalent piece of plywood… and heavy plywood can be dangerous to maneuver and/or requires extra equipment to accommodate. Even so, plywood could not be true flat or super strong like the equivalent Sing Sandwich panel.
That is why the Sing Sandwich panel is perfect for:
Shelf. Cut to any width for lightweight strong shelf, long span capacity.
Substrate. Insulated, true flat, lightweight, super strong for door core, table core. Slice to any thickness.
Furniture components.
Tiny house. For wall structure, floor substrate, room loft floor.
Countertop substrate could be finished in any exterior material
Ceiling. Lightweight ceilings

Looking for a millwork to finish your SingCore project?
Our primary affiliation is with the millworks that are highly skilled and qualified to deliver an end product which exemplifies the highest and best use of our patented SingCore building materials. In fact, when we receive inquiries about our products, our first question is, “Who is your millwork company?” If they do not have one they are working with, we suggest they get one and have them contact us directly.
SingCore is an extraordinary building material that left to itself is not much more glamorous than any other engineered plywood, even though nothing can compare to SingCore’s unparalleled light weight and strength. Yet, in the hands of a skilled millwork, their specialized craftsmanship is what makes Eco-friendly SingCore shine with the beauty and elegance SingCore products are known for.
Millworks face many challenges when bringing the architect’s vision to life. In some cases, the limitation of available building material can render a potential job impractical or even impossible.
For instance, a particular project might include a large wooden door. If the large wood door is an exterior door over seven feet tall or over four feet wide (as is the case for most modern pivot entry doors) millworks and custom door manufacturers will simply pass on the large door portion of the job, forfeit the entire job altogether based on the oversized exterior door, or if they do take the job may agree to build the large door according to the architectural specifications but will not offer a warranty on the performance of the big door.
Large exterior doors, especially large wood doors, are a problem because millworks and door manufacturers know the doors will fail due to warping. It’s nothing personal; it’s just the nature of the beast being the wood grain itself which tends to move according to changes in temperature, moisture or other environmental conditions.
Solution
Patented SingCore when engineered by the warp-free team can prevent any large door from failing over time. Millworks are confident they can provide a solution for any project including large doors of any size if they have SingCore inside, guaranteed.
Clients may ask for a warranty on the large doors (that without SingCore inside could not be warranted) and the millwork can now offer the professional SingCore guarantee – in writing – that the doors with professional SingCore inside are guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years.
Working with SingCore
Easy to CNC router
Millworks use either open edge or closed edge Sing Panel, whichever works best for the project at hand, as well as many options for skin types, solid blocking, custom lite cut outs, solid and exterior edging options.
SingCore is easy to machine and work with using traditional woodworking tools, CNC and edge –banding machinery and equipment.
Used as substrate material, SingCore can be delivered to the millwork ready for cold press or hot press lamination. Alternatively, millworks may desire exterior surfaces to be applied in our factory, which makes their job easier.
SingCore Durability
Products made of Sing panels are easy to repair damage to its original condition simply and easily by cutting a hole (you can even use a chain saw without compromising the structure due to its unique Sing Core torsion box/foam and stress skin composition). Any repairs will have the strength, integrity and durability of the original structure.

“…we were unable to compete for large quantity orders.”
Many of our partners report, “Before teaming up with SingCore, we were unable to compete for large quantity orders,” admitting that they simply stopped bidding on large quantity jobs (anything over 50 doors), because they knew they were no match for the major players; until SingCore.
SingCore routinely provides 200-to-300 doors blanks a day to distinguished door manufacturers, enabling them to compete even against companies that provide cheap import doors.

Insulated Lightweight and High Strength
Standard Sing T Slot Panels come packed with insulated rated at R3.5 per square inch. 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.
Insulated Sing T Slot Panels are the only panels that offer not only lightweight and strength but also offer excellent temperature control. The unique attributes of the Sing Core material offer insulated isolation between the separate sides of the T Slot Panels providing a protective thermal barrier between interior and exterior surfaces. Keep cold on one side and heat on the other effectively with insulated Sing T Slot Panels for advanced climate control.
The sound deadening characteristics are added benefits – especially for temporary equipment enclosures, structures and portable clean rooms or emergency shelters – providing added safety, security and an additional barrier from external sources.
