Why choose tile in downtown Jersey City?
Why choose tile in downtown Jersey City?
Tile is a timeless and durable material that is available in a variety of styles, price points, and designs.
Flooding is a frequent problem after heavy storms in downtown Jersey City and Hoboken due to our low elevation and aging stormwater infrastructure. Hardwood flooring is beautiful but not a good choice for your basement or garden level unit, especially if you've had previous water intrusion. Tile is the best choice for any area subject to water exposure. It is waterproof, mold-proof, durable, and easy to clean.
AYL Home Improvements can offer full tile renovation services from design to implementation. We can also turn your architect or interior designer's vision into reality.

Where to use tile?
Because it can be made waterproof and stands up well to heavy-traffic even with minimal maintenance, tile is the perfect choice for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, mud rooms, and below-grade areas like basements.
Especially in bathrooms, slip-resistant tiles with a DCOF (dynamic coefficient of friction) rating over 0.42 are ideal for safety. Decorative accents like handmade zellige clay tiles, glass tiles, or marble hex are perfect for small, high-impact areas like a kitchen backsplash or powder room accent wall. From idea to installation, you can trust AYL Home Improvements to help you with your tile project.
Wood-look tile combines the warm style of hardwood floors with the hard-wearing properties of porcelain tile.

Waterproofing for tile showers
Waterproofing for tile showers
Did you know that with just one 12-minute shower per day, your shower sees 30x as much water as your roof? Water intrusion can cause leaks downstairs, mold, and rotting of structural elements like wood framing. Careful waterproofing is the key to a shower that lasts for decades. The most important step for a worry-free shower makeover is a modern waterproofing solution like the Schluter Kerdi system of membrane water-proofing and bonded shower drains to keep your shower and your home mold-free.
We believe in a research-driven approach to your tile renovation in Jersey City, following guidelines established by the TCNA (Tile Council of North America). We use supplies from top manufacturers including Schluter, Mapei, and Laticrete.
