I'm planning on installing a Toto Drake, so I removed my old toilet today. The flange is securely installed to the sub-floor & there is ceramic tile on the floor now that extends 1/2" above the flange. However I plan on installing laminate tile flooring that is 5/16" thick on top of the ceramic flooring. So with the existing ceramic tile & the new padding & laminite tile, there will be about 1" from the top of the flange to the top of the new laminite tile.
So what is my best solution concerning which wax ring to use? I've seen a 1/2" plastic flange extender at Home Depot that appears to attach to the top of the existing flange. Should I use one of these? Or aren't these a good idea? With or without one of these extender flanges, any suggestion on what type of wax ring(s) set up to use? On the toilet I took off it appeared they installed it using 2 wax rings put together.
Also, do they make closet bolts long enough to reach my 1" distance from flange to top of floor, & then through the Toto?
Thanks,
John
