Heavy-Duty Anti-Vibration Mat 60×60cm 20mm – Cut-to-Size Rubber Machine Underlay | Free UK Delivery

Heavy-Duty Anti-Vibration Mat 20mm – 60×60cm Industrial Rubber Machine Underlay

Standard 5 mm vibration mats are designed for domestic appliances — but industrial machinery, commercial HVAC equipment, generators, and heavy workshop tools require a fundamentally different level of vibration isolation. This 20 mm heavy-duty anti-vibration mat provides four times the material depth of standard mats, delivering superior isolation of low-frequency vibrations (typically 10–400 Hz) that characterise heavy rotating machinery. The thick natural rubber compound absorbs and dissipates vibration energy before it reaches the floor and building structure. Cut to any required size. Available from Rubber Matting Direct with free UK delivery.

Key Features

• 20 mm natural rubber thickness — industry-standard specification for heavy machinery vibration isolation
• Superior low-frequency isolation — effective down to 10 Hz for generators, compressors, and HVAC equipment
• High load-bearing capacity — supports heavy industrial equipment without permanent compression set
• Cut-to-size flexibility — trimmable to match any machine footprint with a sharp utility knife
• Non-slip surface both sides — grips both machine base and floor for stability under operational loads
• Oil and chemical resistant — handles hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and industrial cleaning agents
• Resistant to ozone and weathering — suitable for outdoor equipment installations
• Reduces structure-borne noise — measurably lowers impact noise transmission to building structure

Applications

• Generator base isolation (standby and prime power)
• Air compressor and pneumatic equipment mounting
• HVAC plant and chiller unit vibration isolation
• Industrial lathe and milling machine bases
• Commercial gym equipment (treadmill, rower, cross-trainer)
• CNC machine vibration damping
• Pump and motor base isolation
• Diesel engine equipment mounting

Buying Guide: When Do I Need 20mm?

Choose 20 mm when the equipment produces low-frequency vibration (machinery that rotates below 400 rpm, generators, compressors) or when the load per mat is significant. For domestic washing machines and light appliances, our 5 mm pack of 4 is sufficient and more cost-effective. The 20 mm mat is the professional choice for any industrial, commercial, or workshop machinery application where vibration transmission to the building structure is a concern.

Installation & Care

Install: Position mats under each corner or along the full base perimeter of the equipment. The 20 mm thickness raises the machine slightly — factor this in if connected pipework or cable runs are involved. For very heavy equipment, consult a structural engineer for load calculations.

Care: Wipe clean as needed. Natural rubber requires no maintenance and retains its properties indefinitely under normal use conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What load can a 20mm rubber mat support?

Natural rubber at 20 mm thickness can typically support 3–8 kg/cm² before significant compression set occurs. For very heavy equipment, use larger mat areas to distribute the load. Contact us for specific load calculations.

Is 20mm sufficient for a diesel generator?

20 mm natural rubber provides good isolation for small to medium generators (up to approximately 20 kVA). For larger generator sets, specialist anti-vibration mounts with engineered rubber-to-steel construction are recommended in addition to rubber matting.

Can this mat be used outdoors?

Yes — natural rubber is ozone-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. In exposed outdoor positions, UV degradation is minimal over the typical service life of the equipment it supports.
