Tile and luxury vinyl plank cover more square footage of a typical Brooklyn renovation than any other flooring type: bathroom floors and walls, kitchen backsplashes, and full-apartment LVP installs. Illyrian Group Corp handles tile and LVP flooring as one of our core Brooklyn services, with crews who install both materials every week rather than treating either as a side skill.
Because we source tile and LVP directly, we can usually turn a bathroom or kitchen floor around faster than a general contractor waiting on a separate flooring subcontractor's schedule, and because we're also a full renovation company, we can bundle tile and LVP work into a bathroom or kitchen remodel without adding another subcontractor to manage.
Tile and LVP work often overlaps directly with a bathroom or kitchen remodel, which is why we treat scheduling as part of the estimate, not an afterthought. If your project also needs plumbing fixture relocation or electrical work for a heated floor system, we coordinate those trades under one schedule instead of you managing separate subcontractors who may not talk to each other.
Signs You Need New Tile or LVP Flooring
- Cracked, chipped, or missing tiles in a shower or bathroom floor
- Grout that's stained, crumbling, or no longer sealing properly against water
- Soft or spongy spots in a bathroom floor, which can signal subfloor water damage
- Outdated tile color or pattern that makes the whole room feel dated
- LVP or laminate that's peeling, lifting at the seams, or warped from moisture
- Wanting to switch a wet-prone area from carpet to a water-resistant surface
Where We Install Tile & LVP
Shower & Tub Surrounds
Waterproofed tile installation for shower walls and tub surrounds, including niches and custom layouts.
Bathroom Floors
Tile or LVP bathroom flooring, sloped correctly for drainage where a shower pan is involved.
Kitchen Backsplash
Subway, mosaic, and custom pattern backsplash tile installed to match your countertop and cabinet finish.
Full-Apartment LVP
Luxury vinyl plank installed across living areas and bedrooms as a durable, water-resistant alternative to hardwood.
Tile & LVP Material Tiers
Standard
Basic ceramic tile or a standard-grade rigid-core LVP in a straight-grid layout. A durable, water-resistant choice for rental units, secondary bathrooms, or straightforward floor replacements where budget matters more than a statement pattern.
Mid-range
Porcelain tile or a premium waterproof LVP with a realistic wood or stone visual, installed in a running-bond or basketweave pattern. Better wear resistance and a more upscale look than basic ceramic or standard LVP.
High-end
Natural stone (marble, travertine, or large-format porcelain slab) or designer LVP, installed in herringbone, chevron, or a custom mixed-material layout. These patterns take more layout time and material to execute correctly, which shows up in labor cost, not just material cost.

How a Brooklyn Tile or LVP Project Runs
Walkthrough
We measure the space and help you choose tile size, layout pattern, or LVP plank style for the room.
Substrate prep
Old flooring comes out and the subfloor is leveled, or cement board goes down where tile needs a rigid base.
Waterproofing
Shower and tub surrounds get a waterproofing membrane installed before any tile goes up.
Installation
Tile is set and grouted to spec, or LVP is installed with correct expansion gaps and transitions.
Final check
We inspect grout lines, seams, and drain slope, then walk the finished space with you.

What Complicates a Tile or LVP Job in a Brooklyn Building
- Sound-transmission rules: LVP and tile installed above another unit are sometimes subject to the same acoustic underlayment requirements as hardwood, which we confirm with your board before ordering material.
- Subfloor leveling: century-old subfloors are rarely flat, and tile in particular needs a level substrate or the grout lines will crack within a year.
- Waterproofing cure time: for shower and tub surrounds, the waterproofing membrane needs to be inspected and cured before tile goes up, which adds fixed time to the schedule that can't be compressed.
- Water shut-off coordination: bathroom tile work often requires shutting off water to a shared riser, which needs advance notice to building management and sometimes to other units.
- Lead time on custom material: natural stone and imported tile can have 2 to 4 week lead times, which we build into the schedule up front rather than surprise you with mid-project.

Tile & LVP Flooring Across Williamsburg, Bay Ridge & Beyond
We install tile and LVP flooring throughout Brooklyn, including Williamsburg (11211), Bay Ridge (11209), Prospect Heights (11217) near Barclays Center, and Crown Heights (11238), most often as part of a bathroom or kitchen remodel.
LVP installed above another unit is sometimes subject to the same building sound-transmission rules that apply to hardwood, so we confirm your co-op or condo's flooring requirements before we order material.
For shower and bath tile specifically, we build in a waterproofing inspection step before grout goes on, since that's the point where a mistake is cheap to fix and a leak two years later is not.
Frequently Asked Questions - Tile & LVP Flooring
What's the difference between LVP and tile for a Brooklyn bathroom?
Tile is the more traditional choice for wet areas like shower walls and bathroom floors, and it's what most co-op and condo boards expect for full bathroom renovations. LVP is a strong option for kitchens, living areas, and dry-adjacent bathroom spaces, and it's typically faster and less expensive to install than tile.
Do you install shower tile and waterproofing together?
Yes. Shower tile installation includes waterproofing membrane behind the tile, which is required for the installation to hold up over time. We don't install tile over a shower area without proper waterproofing underneath it, since a leak that shows up two years later after skipped waterproofing is a much bigger repair than doing it right the first time. We also inspect the waterproofing before grout goes on, while a fix is still cheap.
Can I mix tile and LVP in the same apartment?
Yes, this is common. Many clients use tile in bathrooms and kitchens where water exposure is highest and LVP in living areas and bedrooms for a softer, warmer floor. We handle the transition detail between the two materials so the change reads as intentional, not like two separate projects.
Can you match a custom tile pattern or herringbone layout?
Yes. Custom layouts like herringbone, basketweave, or a mixed pattern backsplash take more layout planning and installation time than a straight grid pattern, which we account for in your quote. Bring reference photos to your walkthrough and we'll tell you what's achievable with your chosen tile size.
Why Brooklyn Homeowners Choose Illyrian for Tile & LVP Flooring
Tile and LVP flooring lives right at the intersection of two trades that often get outsourced separately: waterproofing and finish flooring. Because we run both under one crew, a shower tile job doesn't become two separate contractors pointing fingers if a leak shows up later. We source material directly, quote in writing before work starts, and back every installation with a 1-year workmanship warranty, which is a more accountable way to handle wet-area flooring than piecing the job together yourself.
