Moderno Porcelain Works Opens in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Moderno Porcelain Works Charlotte opened its latest facility here earlier this year.
The 3,000 ft² showroom and 13.000 ft² fabrication facility is the 14th location for Moderno, a fabrication/installation company dealing exclusively with large-format (5’ X 10’) porcelain slabs.
The facility showcases numerous applications of porcelain, including shower and tub design, as well as multiple flooring surfaces, wall and ceiling coverings, fireplace and countertop displays.
The Charlotte opening is the latest in the past three years for Moderno, with coast-to-coast locations including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
“With new advancements in technology, porcelain has become a game changer in the design industry,” said Roberto Contreras, CEO of Moderno Porcelain Works. “It is versatile and durable in nearly every application, but there has been a lack of specialized expertise in its fabrication.
“The technological advancements in the manufacturing process coupled with our specialized fabrication has propelled porcelain to the top of emerging design trends for fireplaces, walls, flooring, and unmatched outdoor applications.“
Leading the Charlotte team are managing partners, HK Patel and Deven Roy.
“The Moderno leadership team is comprised of industry pioneers,” Patel said, “who are equally committed to providing excellent craftsmanship as well as state-of-the-art technology that is redefining the fabrication and installation process.”
“Moderno’s proven proprietary fabrication and installation process allows us to expand the uses of porcelain beyond traditional surfacing and eliminate prior constraints designers and general contractors had when working with large format porcelain slabs,” Roy added. “This is just the beginning.”
Moderno Porcelain Works Charlotte is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 2745 Whitehall Park Dr, Suite 400, in Charlotte.
