Anti-Vibration Mat 60×60cm 5mm – Pack of 4, Cut-to-Size Rubber Appliance Underlay | Free UK Delivery

Anti-Vibration Mat 5mm – Pack of 4, 60×60cm Cut-to-Size Rubber Appliance Underlay

Vibration noise from washing machines, tumble dryers, and dishwashers travels through hard floors and resonates through the entire building structure — annoying on the ground floor, genuinely disruptive on upper floors. This pack of 4 anti-vibration rubber mats (each 60 × 60 cm, 5 mm thick) isolates appliances from the floor surface, absorbing vibration energy before it can transmit through the building. The natural rubber compound provides both vibration damping and non-slip grip, preventing appliance movement during spin cycles. Each mat can be cut to the exact footprint of your appliance. Available from Rubber Matting Direct with free UK delivery.

Key Features

• Pack of 4 mats — one under each appliance corner, or two under small appliances for complete coverage
• 5 mm natural rubber construction — optimum thickness for low-frequency vibration isolation (washing machine spin cycles: 400–1400 rpm)
• 40–50 Shore A compound — sufficiently soft to absorb vibration without being too soft to provide stable appliance support
• Trimmable to exact appliance footprint — cut to match your machine's specific leg/base dimensions with scissors or a utility knife
• Non-slip surface both sides — grips both the appliance base and the floor surface to prevent movement during high-spin cycles
• Resistant to laundry detergent and humidity — won't degrade in the damp environment beneath a washing machine
• Reduces noise transfer — measurably lowers impact noise transmission to floors and ceiling below
• Protects floor surfaces — prevents vibration-induced scratching and marking of tiles and laminate

Applications

• Washing machine vibration isolation (all brands/types)
• Tumble dryer vibration damping
• Dishwasher stabilisation
• Refrigerator and freezer vibration reduction
• Gym equipment vibration isolation (treadmill, rowing machine)
• Workshop machinery vibration damping (bench grinders, drills)
• HVAC equipment vibration isolation
• Generator and compressor base isolation

Buying Guide: 5mm vs 20mm?

The 5 mm pack is ideal for domestic appliances where vibration frequencies are in the mid-range (400–1400 rpm). For heavy industrial machinery, larger gym equipment, or generators operating at lower rpm, the 20 mm thick mat provides superior low-frequency isolation. For most UK washing machines and tumble dryers, 5 mm is the standard recommendation. The pack of 4 provides complete under-machine coverage for appliances up to 60 cm wide — which covers the majority of domestic machines.

Installation & Care

Install: Place one mat under each corner of the appliance (4-mat coverage). Alternatively, cut one large mat to the full appliance footprint. The non-slip rubber surfaces grip both the machine base and the floor. Ensure the appliance remains level after installation — readjust levelling feet if needed.

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth periodically. The rubber compound is moisture-resistant and requires no maintenance under normal use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this stop my washing machine from walking across the floor?

Yes. The high-grip rubber surface on both sides of the mat — combined with correct appliance levelling — prevents machine movement during spin cycles. Ensure the machine's adjustable feet are set correctly for maximum stability.

Can I cut the mats to fit a specific appliance base shape?

Yes. The 5 mm natural rubber cuts cleanly with scissors. Trim to the exact dimensions of your appliance's base footprint for a precise, professional fit.

How much noise reduction can I expect?

Vibration anti-fatigue mats typically reduce structure-borne impact noise by 5–15 dB depending on floor construction and frequency. In upper-floor installations, the reduction in thumping and rumbling during spin cycles is clearly noticeable.
