Saving Space and Living Light: Sing Tiny House Benefits

What is the best tiny house building system? One that makes a lightweight, strong building that can become a portable, towable, tiny house on a trailer.

We give "mobile home" a new meaning!

Such a tiny house must be:

1 Lightweight
A mobile Tiny House requires little energy to move around. The problem for the standard 2 x 4 framed tiny house is that it weighs more than double the Sing Tiny House. Sing Panels have everything you need in one lightweight package.

2 Strong and Thin 
You may expect a thick wall to be strong, but it takes too much precious interior space. Even Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are often six to eight inches thick, but they lack the torsion box grids found in Sing Core Panels. Sing Panels are extremely thin, less than 1.5 inch thick, but stronger than steel pound for pound. No other core has both support and insulation.

This is all you need.

3 Easy to Build
Using patented Sing Panels is the easiest way to build a tiny house. It has the exterior wall, interior wall, and insulation all built into it.  A simple building process means better accuracy, easier construction, and little energy to build an eco-friendly Tiny House.

It's so light, just two people can build a Sing Tiny House.

The Sing torsion box sandwich panel building system takes less labor and material but stronger than frame and SIP home. Regular SIP panels have no structure grid. Their strength comes from being built into a thick wall using a 2 x 6 frame method. You can count on nailing the plywood to the wall studs to gain sheathing strength. Sing panels use structural glue on 100% of both sides of the facial board. This is sandwiched on either side of a veneer torsion box grid embedded in foam.  It is the flattest and strongest lightweight core Panel.

Patented Sing Honeycomb is the best building method for building tiny houses. It also makes the best lightweight furniture, posts and beams. Please visit www.singcore.com to see limitless applications of Sing Panels.

Garage Revolution




Peter was inspired recently to find yet another use for Sing Honeycomb Panels. We’re launching a line of insulated panels for overhead garage doors. He noticed that too many nice homes have dinged up garage doors. It’s because garage doors are expensive to repair. You don’t want to replace a panel for a golf ball dent, so you let it go until the damage is beyond cosmetic. Soon, you’ve run into the garage door with your car or time has made the edges drafty, so you shell out a fortune to have it repaired in a hurry. If your door had been more sturdy from the start, you’d be on a mini vacation.
It'll be alright for now...
This also raised the question, why so many dented doors? They’re mostly made of steel, which is strong, right? Well, I was wrong about that too. The steel used in garage doors is extremely thin, so it doesn’t get the strength we expect of steel. What can we do? We need durable doors. They’re the first defense for our home. How many times have you heard of a break-in through the garage?

Sing Honeycomb to the rescue! Our insulated panels are going to revolutionize the garage door industry. Lowe’s carries DIY insulation kits, but that won’t repair the dents and air gaps. When it’s finally time to replace the garage door, Sing will be there.We use insulation foam to support our cores. We use a veneer torsion box grid embedded in the foam sandwich core to make our panels strong and unchanging. I’ve hit them with 30lb kettle bells with not even a mark. We’re looking into the most common measurements for garage doors, and we’ll test the water this summer during remodel season. This can be huge. The garage no longer needs to be drafty and dented.

The First Sing Honeycomb Sectional Overhead Door
We'll also need customers to share their photos and successes with us, so be one of the first owners of a new Sing Garage Door, and possibly earn a marketing discount.
