Luxury Vinyl Plank Condo Flooring in Renton, WA

How this Renton condo floor came together

The goal

The unit was being remodeled from end to end, and the floor was what would tie it together. The aim was a single surface from the front door to every room, so the condo would read as one open home instead of a series of patches.

The challenge

Condo rooms are small and connected by short halls and doorways, and every one of those openings is a place a floor can look broken. The planks also had to meet a tiled fireplace hearth, run past kitchen cabinets that were staying, and carry into two bathrooms where water resistance matters. All of it had to be done inside a condo building, with materials carried in through a shared corridor.

The solution

Luxury vinyl plank was the material chosen, and it suits all of those rooms, kitchens and bathrooms included. We laid it after demolition, the rough trades, tile and paint were done, so nothing heavy crossed the finished surface. The planks start at the front door and run through the kitchen, living and dining areas, both bedrooms, the hall and the bathrooms, finishing neatly against the fireplace hearth and the kitchen cabinet bases. Baseboards were set along every wall to finish the edges.

The result

In the finished photos from September 5, 2024, the same light wood-look plank runs through every room without a visible break. With the pale walls and recessed lighting, the floor makes a small condo feel open and consistent from the entry to the balcony doors. There are no thresholds or color changes between rooms, so furniture can move freely and the unit photographs as one connected space, which is what the listing photos show.
