In fact, each door panel comes with a 50 Year Warp-Free and Structural Guarantee, so you can rest easy without worrying about your door failing on you. Sing Core doors are guaranteed to never warp, and we can make that claim due to our innovative and patented honeycomb core. There are many ways a warp can hinder or ruin a door, and often, warps are irrecoverable. A little bend or twist could leave a door stuck in its pocket, or scraping the side as it is opened and closed, damaging both the door and the wall nearby. In the case of this project, even just a slight warp could ruin the entire system. One major concern with large doors is the possibility of warping, which gets exponentially more likely, and often exponentially worse, with larger doors.
Getting a door like this without having it custom made would be impossible, but luckily Sing Core specializes in large, high end custom doors.Ī Sing Core door can be ordered to nearly any shape or size, and are strong, lightweight, and durable. This tall and narrow design worked beautifully for the room, though is definitely a non-standard size. These twin pocket doors measure 40 inches wide by 158 inches tall, and are 2.5 inches thick. In fact, each of these doors only weigh 200 pounds, despite being over 13 feet tall. This means that the custom doors would still be sturdy and long lasting, but due to their low weight, they’d also be easy to use and be far less likely to damage their hardware. Sing Core, however, was a great solution.īecause Sing Core panels are made with a honeycomb core, they are incredibly lightweight, yet still very strong. If this was done with traditional materials, the doors would likely be too heavy to work reliably, and could damage their hardware. The door would have to be incredibly tall, yet narrow, which would need to be custom made. A normal sliding door would work, but the dimensions would be incredibly difficult to get right. Due to the height of the room, a standard door would not work unless they expanded on the center wall, which would majorly damage the flow and beauty of the room. This customer needed a way to separate two areas of the house, but was fairly limited in their options due to their design preference.
If done right, they can even be part of a room’s main design feature, such as in the example we’re showing you today. Doors can be elegant accents to a room’s design, or a seamless way to change a room’s layout. Either way, make sure to fill any gaps or cracks with wood filler and sand the jamb smooth before beginning the project.People often think of doors as simple barriers or entryways, but at Sing Core, we know that a door can be much more than that. Stops on factory-made jambs aren’t easily removed, so instead use ½-inch-thick furring strips to pad out the jamb on either side of the stop, then simply buy a narrower door to fit. To remove stops on a site-built jamb, score along each stop with a utility knife and use a pry bar to remove it. If you’re building this project in an existing doorway, you’ll first need to deal with any door stops to allow the door to swing in both directions.
