The Windy City ~ Coverings 2016

Another tile and stone show has come and gone to the windy city of Chicago. Making it last minute, Mogastone was able to attend and view the latest trends. Despite the distance, we made it!

Whites are hot and the large demand has pushed us to consider all type of countertops available on the market. One of which is (man-made) quartz. These seem to get closer and closer to the marble-like look.

Onyx, a semiprecious agate which different layers of colors was also found in many beautiful shades. Many are translucent and can be back lid!

Last but not least, marble and it's beautiful pattern from around the world was the show stopper. With the soft veining and swirls, marble can make a beautiful focal point in the kitchen, bathroom and fireplace surround.

The main reason for our visit is to view in person the CNC bridge saw, Saber we are introducing to out facility late summer 2016. This will speed up production and improve the quality of the final countertops we install. 

We look forward to attending the next Coverings show.

COVERINGS 2015 | ORLANDO, FL

Each year the stone industry exhibits an annual stone show with the latest natural products for countertops and backsplashes. This year the stone took place in Oralndo, FL and Mogastone was there to be in on the newest trends.

Quarzites: Although they often look like marble, quarzites are much denser in general making it ideal for kitchen and bath countertop applications. Light tones, especially whites seems to be the popular often requested choices. 

Granite: More exotic color choices were offered with swirls, sparkle, and large formation of natural glass like quartz. 

...we even found one named after Constantin, our shop manager :)

The man-made quartz were also in and becoming more available for very modern projects with very little variation. 

We also saw a lot of different options of glass tile which we will be introducing soon as part of our Mogastone stone line. 

Last but not least, marble was the most popular of the show. We absolutely LOVE these soft white options with faded gray veining and pastel colors. Just beautiful and jaw dropping!! Nothing compares to the beauty of natural stone.

We look forward to the next show and meantime we will work hard to bring some of these options to the Triangle market in NC.

New Season, New Granite!

Walking down the isle of the Southern Ideal Home Show in Raleigh, you probably stumbled upon many different home improvement booths featuring improvement kitchen and bath ideas. Among them, Mogastone Granite and Marble of Cary displayed a few examples of their custom countertops and granite slabs available in Raleigh and surrounding areas. The array of colors and patterns were fantastic and unique. Each beautiful in its own way – sparkles, waves, uniform, Mogastone had it all!

One piece in particular that really stood out to everyone was a semi precious Labradorite slab with blue, sea shell like pattern and iridescent background color as if it were background lit. It was magnificent and everyone stopped in their tracks to take a peak. “It’s amazing that Mother Nature can do. To know that this granite came out of the ground its unbelievable and no matter how much other man-made products try to mimic the look of 'stone', they don't even come close.” said Nina Hampton of North Raleigh.

If you missed this year’s show, you can stop Mogastone showroom and granite slab yard in Cary, open Monday - Saturday. "Mogastone always has the neatest colors that nobody around here has. We always look forward to seeing their granite countertops/slabs", said Bobbi from Apex. 

New granite colors will be available all month of October and November. And best of all, Mogastone is always having monthly sales on their in stock granite colors.

Visit Mogastone Graniteand Marble the next time you’re in Raleigh/Cary. You won’t be disappointed.

“The gift that keeps on giving”

Kitchen countertops, as the slogan describes, has and will have, a high return on investment. Whether you are remodeling so you can enjoy a more functional kitchen or updating to sell the house, changing the countertops will add a finishing touch and creating a more inviting kitchen.

Mogastone often hears this from realtors who recommend granite for resale purposes. “Many clients interested in purchasing a home seem to not pay as much attention to a listing if granite is not as one of the items included in the home” explained Maria, realtor from Cary.

“One of the first places people seem to look is the in the kitchen which seems to be the new family room so you want to pay attention when placing the home on the market”, she further explained. “Natural stones, like granite, remain the most popular choices in countertops because of their durable and require little or no maintenance.”
