ANTI-VIBRATION PAD FOR A WASHING MACHINE
Q. Can I reduce the noise and vibration caused by my washing machine?
A. Yes by using an Anti - Vibration Pad. These 20mm thick black recycled resilient rubber panels are designed to absorb and reduce point load vibration from all noisy appliances and can be used under washing machines and other noisy equipment such as gym equipment and treadmills.
Anti-vibration mats do not reduce airborne noise these items might create but certainly help to de-couple any vibration. The vibration is what will pass through any supporting structure as noise to neighbours.
Anti - Vibration Pad panels are 1 metre square and 20mm thick and can be easily cut to size with a sharp knife or a jigsaw. If further noise reduction is needed we would advise doubling up the panels to create a 40mm layer.
It is essential to install a thin board on top of the insulation before installing the appliance. This will help support the feet of the appliance and prevent them from sinking into the resilient pad. Thin ply, MDF or hardboard will suffice and can easily be obtained from your local DIY store or timber yard.
The Anti - Vibration Pad is also often used under:
Bass speakers
Tumble Dryers
Home cinema sub woofers
Treadmills
Rowing machines
Mini Trampolines
If the 20mm version is too thick a 10mm version is available but note, will not be as effective. Please make our sales team aware if you require the 10mm version when ordering.
PLEASE NOTE: WE ONLY PROVIDE THE BLACK RUBBER ANTI - VIBRATION PAD . ADDITIONAL THIN BOARDING WOULD HAVE TO BE OBTAINED ELSEWHERE.
Q. Will this reduce any other other noise it makes in the house?
A. The Vibration Pad will only reduce noise and vibration that is being transmitted from a machine. If you also want to reduce additional airborne noise from an appliance, it will need to be enclosed within a cupboard then line the walls with our Foam Laminate
Our SA25FF/B/6 Foam Laminate will help absorb airborne noise and make the machine sound quieter in the rest of the house. Please click HERE for more information.
