I'm redoing a bathroom. Right now, the old vinyl flooring has been removed and I'm left with the plywood subfloor. I'm going to have a tiler put down cement backerboard and then ceramic tile.
Right now, the bottom of the flange is about 1/4" above the plywood (the top of the flange is 3/4" above). I understand that the flange should rest on top of the flooring material. How can I accomplish this? How difficult is it to remove the ring and replace it after the tile is installed? For what it's worth, even though the flange did NOT rest on the flooring material previously, the toilet never rocked. The flange is very solid, and cannot be wiggled side-to-side even a little bit. It seems to be in pretty good shape after I cleaned all the wax off. Below are some pictures.
Also, do you recommend the standard wax ring? I've seen some with a flange attached to them at Lowe's.
