Sing Core was created as a honeycomb building material that can be used as the core of furniture and construction creations.
Lightweight, durable, and anti-warp, it helps woodworkers create strong pieces of furniture and is a more sustainable resource than solid wood.
The full history is how Sing Core came to be is
Sing Core was invented by Peter Sing by combining his love of aeronautics with practical improvements in honeycomb panels. Originally from Taiwan, Peter Sing was selected to study aerospace engineering and aviation technology in the United States.
Sing’s observations of the honeycomb materials used in aerospace combined with his youthful idea of creating a stronger lightweight building material inspired him to take his ideas to the drawing board. Before the invention of Sing Core, Sing acquired more than 30 patents. The intent of all of those inventions was to help build a better world.
He started his own business to independently finance his pursuits to be an inventor full-time. By age 28 he reached his goal and became a full-time inventor and part-time businessman due to his entrepreneurial success.
After visiting the Pacific Northwest, Peter decided to move his young family to Washington State. He fell in love with the pristine wilderness, clean air, and Pacific Ocean, while being surrounded by technology and aerospace industries. He thought this growing, yet peaceful environment would be a better place to continue his work and raise his family.
Peter Sing began to develop his insulated composite torsion box, which satisfied his desire to create a revolutionary material. The only problem with his initial invention was that the process was too lengthy and costly to justify the end result. For his invention to appeal to the masses, he knew that he would have to devise a method to build his product in mass quantity in a cost-effective manner.
It wasn’t long after moving to the West Coast that Mr. Sing discovered a niche that needed the unique characteristics of his invention. The log home industry to the west of the Mississippi struggled with the natural tendency of wood logs to warp, bend, twist, and crack. Peter’s patented Sing Square Log solved the issues facing log home builders by using his convenient modular log. Made in the USA using a composite of Pacific Northwest timber and his insulated torsion box design, Sing Log Homes created the perfect composite log.
With this newfound success, Peter Sing was able to set up a factory to supply the needs of forward-thinking log home builders. Sing Log Homes began to spring up all over the United States until the economy took its toll on the housing market. The decline in the new construction of log homes gave Peter the time to revisit his original idea of having a cost-effective version of his insulated torsion box.
Sing focused on devising a method to manufacture his invention in easy-to-use panels, to offer a more effective building material in a standard format similar to traditional plywood and/or honeycomb panels without the energy expense and toxic waste of weaker aluminum honeycomb panels used in aerospace applications.
Now that patented Sing Core was available in a cost-efficient format, calls came in from architects and millworks seeking a better way to build large doors, which were the bane of the industry as the heavy weight of large doors was insurmountable requiring expensive heavy-duty hardware and high maintenance costs over time.
Sing Core soon became the door core material of choice used in large doors, especially in doors over 7ft. tall. The large door market rapidly replaced Sing’s former log home market, leading to the expansion of the factory to accommodate custom large doors for all industries in sizes up to 50 ft.
This significant improvement in door-building technology changed door warranties industry-wide. Before the introduction of Sing Core, most door manufacturers were unable to guarantee any door to not warp. A few warranted their doors for one year.
With the introduction of the Premium Sing Door Panel, architects, millworks, general contractors, and door manufacturers could build doors of any size that feature Peter Sing’s only warp-free and full structural guarantee.
Sing’s team of door specialists have helped architects, designers, and millworks create solutions to all the problems associated with large doors. All types and styles of doors have been addressed in every shape and size, effectively creating no-fail solutions to previously problematic large doors.
The problems associated with wood doors were attributed mainly to wood’s tendency to warp and fail due to the natural characteristic of wood grain to move according to changes in moisture and temperature. These challenges led to Peter Sing’s next invention, a non-warping composite stiffener component to enhance Sing Core’s performance. This enabled Sing Core to create doors that could outperform any wood door.
With the success of Sing Core doors, Peter Sing has decided it’s time to open Sing Core University in an attempt to educate everyone on how they can use Sing Core in their woodworking projects. With Sing Core your do-it-yourself project becomes eco-friendly, using less wood and saving you money.
Woodworkers are encouraged to head over to the Student Union & Resources tab to learn how to use Sing Core to create stronger, lighter, and more eco-friendly creations. We look forward to seeing what you make!
