    Closet Flange Height
    I've installed a few toilets and I always get different answers from different sources on this. Should the toilet flange be at the same height as the surrounding floor level or should it be slightly above, or.. Does it matter?
    Thanks, Jesse

    Hi Jessie,
    We have always installed our flanges directly on top of the finished floor. No need to recess or raise them. Regards, Tom
