Mat under the washing machine: what is anti-vibration protection?

Even the most modern washing machines, about which they say that they work silently, creating a vibration. What can we say about the old models. Their work is sometimes heard even in closed interior doors. Hence, the main question that arises in almost all, how to get rid of this negative phenomenon. It is not only about human comfort. over time, the vibration can also affect the integrity of the floor tiles.

The causes of vibrations and their elimination

The cause of vibration is likely not worth looking inside the car and outside. And the technique could be completely innocent. But uneven floor, tiled swings in the upper layer can be a major consequence of vibration noise. That instability installed equipment is often a major cause of the noise stimulus.

Regardless of the factor, which was the reason why, in the washing machine creates a strong vibration, you need to eliminate this problem. Make it a must, because the frequent fluctuations can lead to further serious problems. May break the drive belt of the tank. The disrepair can quickly come in and other details.

What should be done? Of course first of all check the evenness of the installation. Perhaps it is wrong stands, and with the very floor that's all right. Perhaps she had during the initial installation legs just were not adjusted. If after consolidation, when you turn on any sound does not occur, then the problem is solved.

However, as already stated, in most cases the reason lies in unevenness in the floor. It means necessary to carry out small repairs.

The surface is checked by level. Done leveling screed and tile is laid flat layer after drying. Accordingly tiled surface is also checked by level.

When should you install?

We now consider the additional elements that facilitate disposal of vibratory sound. These are anti-vibration mats and coasters.

Even if a technical device is installed smoothly, it does not guarantee quiet operation of the unit. The machine can "jump" in the working process. Especially if it is an older model. If this happens, the technique to further strengthen the antivibration stand or placing it under the anti-vibration pad.

Types of devices against vibration

In the market for washing machines range of anti-vibration devices is presented in two versions: base and rugs of various models. They are made from different materials and, even though they perform the same function, the quality of their work is different.

Consider first variant anti-vibration device. This rubber-stand. Their production is an ordinary rubber or silicone. Play the role of additional legs, installed under the equipment.

At the stands have their own kind. This foot. They look very original and are attracted by its appearance. Those wishing to purchase them will have to pay a little extra, because they are more expensive, but because of the attractiveness of the interior, many do not pay attention to it.

Now consider the second option, that is, anti-vibration pads. They are divided into two main types.

1. Rubber mats.
2. Silicone.

Many at the fact that the vibration hardly audible, however, still creates discomfort believe that not necessarily look for the road corresponding to the product. Enough to get a simple inexpensive rubber mat, which also successfully cope with the task to eliminate the noise symptoms.

In this regard, it is worth considering the following:

1. When using a simple rubber cover (pad) field will be protected from damage, but the vibration disappears. It is only slightly reduced.
2. The use of special anti-vibration mats are thicker and have a different structure, will create conditions for the full absorption of vibrations.

The structure and operation of the spetskovrika

Pad, manufactured under the washing or any other technique that generates vibration, endowed with the basic functions that are as smoothing fluctuations existing floor (if the alignment is not carried out) and the elimination of vibration cars. Perform these functions helps special relief layer on the back of the product.

It is made of rubber. The internal structure of the material provides a plurality of air bubbles. Thus, the polymeric material is provided with good cushioning properties, it conferring property completely restored in the original position after deformation when the strong pressure.

Important! An anti-vibration pad is best to lay under the car along with its installation. This will prevent loosening. At the same time will increase the life of the equipment.

Dimensions rugs are different. Suitable parameters can choose based on the size of the machine. In addition, the range of similar products have kinds capable of withstanding the low temperatures of 40C and high to + 120C.

Advantages of anti-vibration mat

In the rubber anti-vibration pad, on which is mounted a washing machine or a machine creates a vibration, there is a number of advantages:

1. It allows you to smooth out small protrusions on the surface of the floor. The legs are pressed to the surface equipment. Pad tight, strong adhesion occurs between the rubber and the floor lower side. After the installation of a unit in any "movement" will become impossible.
2. The product is perfectly damps vibrations arising during operation techniques.
3. Rugs are very practical use for a long time. On sale you can find any size.

conclusion

The use of anti-vibration pad in the bathroom a washing machine or a refrigerator in the kitchen has become a frequent occurrence. It would seem that such a common thing, and how much good it can bring. If you think about it seriously. It is not only the creation of stability for heavy household appliances, but mainly creating a comfortable home environment for humans.
