Tips on Creating a Secure and Level Toilet Flange Floor


by DoItYourself Staff

It's essential that your toilet flange floor is level before installing your toilet. If you don't level this floor correctly then it will cause your toilet to rock. A rocking toilet can lead to leaks and all sorts of other problems. You must spend plenty of time leveling your floor to minimize the potential leaks and various other problems.

Self Leveling Compound

Self leveling compound is a wonderful flooring material because this will level itself. All you need to do is construct a frame out of lumber and then pour the compound inside. This is similar to cement but is much thinner, this means that it will find its own level just like water. After using this compound you will then need to wait for the floor to dry.

Sanding the Floor

If there are any high spots on any of the floor then you can use an electric sander to get rid of these. Sanding concrete will take quite a lot of hard work, and you will also need to change the sandpaper regularly.

Checking the Level

Continue checking the level of the floor using a spirit level and a block of wood. The block of wood can be scraped over the floor to look for any high spots, the spirit level can be used to check that the floor is perfectly level.
