Short version:
Is there an acceptable spacer solution I can use between finished tile and existing closet flange which is hovering slightly above tile to insure I have a secure fit?
OR is my only solution to mount a new flange flush with the tile once I’m done tiling?
TLDR:
I have exactly one inch between existing subfloor and bottom of toilet flange.
I calculate that after tile (3/8), Ditra heat duo (5/16) and mortar, I’ll come just under 1 inch.
That will leave existing flange hovering slightly above floor. It’s a nice copper flange, sweated in.
I’d rather leave it in, but if necessary, I can transition to pvc using a shielded 3” fernco on the horizontal piece and build up from there as necessary.
