Home treadmills, bikes, weight racks or even heavy benches concentrate a lot of weight on small contact points. On wood, vinyl, laminate or softer stone floors, this can leave dents, pressure marks or even cracks over time.
Rubber mats or protective pads spread that weight more evenly and cushion the impact of movement. They also reduce noise and vibrations, which your downstairs neighbours will definitely appreciate.
It’s a simple layer that protects both your investment in equipment and your investment in flooring.
