Anti-vibration mat for washing machines – is it worth it?

10.08.2023

If you want to reduce your washing machine’s noise and prevent it from moving during spin cycles, an anti-vibration mat is a smart investment. Washing machines are essential in modern households and have come a long way since Jacob Christian Schäffer’s invention in 1767.

From hand-operated drums in 1905 to electric models in the 1920s and fully automated machines by the 1930s, laundry has become easier, quieter and more efficient.

Use cases and benefits

An anti-vibration mat can be used under washing machines, dryers, fridges and other appliances. It protects the floor and ensures stability. For built-in models, the mat can also be placed on cabinet sides to prevent damage from vibrations.

Such mats are even used in print shops to reduce machine noise in the workspace.

Materials and construction

These mats are made from compressed layers of rubber, typically a mix of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). This combination ensures excellent vibration absorption and durability. The material is non-toxic, elastic, chemical-resistant and abrasion-proof. Some mats are also available in cushioning foam versions.

Sizes and thickness options

Available in various sizes, the mat can be trimmed to fit your appliance using a utility knife. For heavier machines, choose a thickness of 10–15 mm for better insulation and stability. SBR/NBR mats do not fray and are ideal for custom applications.
