Hi All,
I laying tile in my upstairs bathroom. With the new install my flange will sit below the floor, probably around a quarter inch. What steps do I take to extend the flange so that it will sit just above the tile job?
I am not sure what type of flange it is - My house is older and it looks like a cast iron flange that is an extension of the pipe. It is 4 inchs. It is not screwed down into the subfloor, but it is firm. I purchased a PVC flange extender kit from Lowes and I am wondering if this will do the trick.
Per the kit instructions, I need to screw the extender into the subfloor, but the slots of the screw sit on top of the old flange, so that's not an option.
Can I use some sort of PVC cement to adhere the two?
Can I drill into the previous flange to create the holes for the screws.
Can I install PVC over the cast iron flange?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
