In response to Re: Intalling a toilet over carpet?
: I just had a dense berber sytle carpet installed over concrete slab in new basement bathroom. I assume that I'll have to cut away the carpet to install the closet flange, but what about for toilet base. Can/should that sit on the carpet or do I cut around the entire base for the toilet to sit directly on the concrete? Also how do you recommend attaching the flange to the concrete. I have 3" PVC cut flush with concrete slab. Tom, The 3" pipe hopefully will be sleeved with cardboard that can be removed and a flange glued over it. For securing, you will want some concrete anchors. I use the 1/4" anchors I can install with a hammer. The carpet will need to be removed around the toilet base. General rules: Carpet, cut around the bowl. Anything else, set the bowl on top.
