Is there any solution if our flange is going to sit 2" to 3" above our floor?
I've seen this question a number of times on this forum and the answer seems to be that the best solution is to for the floor / flange / toilet to all meet. Should we consider an up-flush toilet? Is there someone who makes a comfort height toilet that would allow the flange to be connected higher in the toilet base?
Our problem is that we are remodeling a bathroom in our condo. The floor is concrete and we are moving the toilet. We found out late that the only way for us to move the waste pipe is by creating an elbow above the height of the current floor which then needs another elbow to get it vertical again. The total height this maneuver requires is 8 3/4". We can easily build the floor height up 6", but if we go higher, we've been told that we'd need to put in another step to enter the bathroom (so, an intermediate step at 4.5" and then the step up to the floor). We'd like to avoid having two steps to enter our bathroom. Is there any other solution?
