    Installing toilet over new hardwood floors - flange is now below floor level
    I have remodeled a bathroom and replaced carpet floors with hardwood. This now puts the toilet flange below the floor level. Is there a thicker or additional flange to bring the connection (with the toilet) level up 1/2 to 3/4 inches?

    You can also use 2 wax flanges to fill the difference. Just stack the wax oon top of one another
