Toilet Installation Over Hardwood

Tips from Real-Estate-Agents.com

Q: I recently installed hardwood floors in my house. In the process I had to remove a toilet. What do I need to do now that the toilet flange is now 3/4" below the surface of the new wood floor?

A: As long as the gap is only about 1/2 to 3/4 inch, you can use two wax rings, either two "no-seep," or one regular and one "no-seep," and then attach the toilet with extra long closet bolts. However, if the gap were much bigger you would need to call a professional plumber to install an extension flange.
