I have just finished installing a 3/4 inch hardwood floor. I have taken the toilet off of the flange to lay the wood around the flange and now want to re-install the toilet. The flange is still screwed down to the plywood, however is now about 5/16's of an inch lower than the hardwood. I probably should'nt have asked anyone, just gone ahead and reinstalled it, but I am getting differing opinions as to how to reinstall the toilet. The suggestions have been: a) use one wax ring, b) use two wax rings, c) use a flange extension kit so the flange is then flush with the floor, d) use a flange extension kit so the flange is about 1/4 of an inch above the level of the floor. Is there a correct answer and if so what might it be? Thanks.
