One important accessory that you will want to get with your new treadmill is a good treadmill mat. If you are not sure of what a treadmill mat is, then let's take a minute and examine this. A treadmill is going to vibrate when in use and since it is sitting directly on your floor, there will be loud noises and constant vibrations each time your treadmill is used if there are not proper mats under them.
These mats will maintain your floors and carpets, minimize vibrations, and reduce
annoying noises that may come from using your treadmill. More times than not these mates are made out of some sort of rubber or cellular vinyl type of byproduct.
A treadmill mat of good quality can deliver many benefits to your treadmill and your floor. The first is that it does protect your flooring and carpet.
As expensive or inexpensive as your treadmill may have been, chances are that your hardwood floor or carpet under
treadmill will cost three or four times than your treadmill to replace if damaged.
These mats also aid in reducing
numbers of dust and carpet fibers in
air. Without
mat,
vibrations discharged by
treadmill will dislodge any loose fibers in
carper, which include
dust that might be tucked away within
carpet.
