DIY: Creative Trim for Concrete Floor, Tile? Mounting Toilet in Concrete Floor - Easy Fix It?

[Zach Schwarzmiller]

Greetings - I have two questions:

1. I am looking to install an affordable trim that is not wood. I really don't want the industrial rubber either. I have seen at Home Depot they have these tile squares that are about 2-3" by 24". I think that would be neat around the house for trim, though it would be much more expensive and time consuming. What have others done for trim when not wanting to use wood? Floor is almost a cherry color refinished concrete (rustic looking).

2. I think the guy refinishing the concrete partially sanded my toilet connection. Is there a simple fix to this? I assume I could get a new one which can fit down into the sewer drain and drill new screws into the concrete; however, I did not see this at Home Depot. Anyone else have to do this and have a good solution?

Thank You!

The more affordable for baseboard is MDF easy to install and faster too. And for your toilet it most have a base plate so you just have to get a wax ring with the bolts an upper plate. Check in Homedepot the boxes of the wax ring and some will illustrate it. Note: Don't get the cheapest one if you Don't know how to install it.
