We ripped up the floor down to the joists for our remodel. Install the 1st sheet of plywood. The toilet flange is a bit off-level now and we're looking for some advice. The very Front (top of the flange) is 1" off the floor. The back side (top of flange) is 3/4" - so there is a 1/4" difference in "level" between front to rear. We'll be installing the 1/4" cement (hardi) board over the plywood along with a very small layer of thin-set. So the rear of the flang will now be flush with the cement board while the front edge will be 1/4" off the floor. We also plan to TILE the area 1st before install the toilet - which will likely be the "standard" size of ceramic/porcelain tiles (1/8-1/4"??)
Is this an issue??? Should the to the entire flange be higher than the final floor/tile? If so, sounds like we might need to get an extender? Do we need to LEVEL the flange somehow or will the wax ring accomodate this 1/4" difference when we install the (TOTO) toilet?
Thanks so much - love this forum.
