I installed a tile floor in my bathroom, this raised the level of the floor even with toilet flange.
Everything I read states that the flange should be 1/4 inch above the floor.
No problem as lowes had 1/4 flange spacers.
But I checked the bottom of the new toilet, and it is proud by 1/8 inch or so compared the the edge of the toilet.
It's even when compared to the floor standoffs.
If I add another 1/4 inch to the floor flange I'll have 3/8 , how will the toilet not rock and not seat?
I'm thinking, if I add a flange spacer, I'll get too much compression on the wax ring and even rock , or risk cracking the toilet base.
I'm not sure I need a spacer at all?
