Inventing Sing Core

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.
