These 5 mm thick mats for under refrigerators and freezers are available in three sizes. Made from vulcanized high-quality natural rubber and reclaimed rubber products, they present a moisture-resistant barrier between the appliance and your floors. If your refrigerator sweats, these mats function as water protectors, forming a shield between the appliance and the floor surface. They are especially ideal for hardwood floors. Water is a floor’s worst enemy as moisture can travel below the surface onto neighboring areas. If your kitchen is close to your family room, both floor surfaces and their underlayment may be exposed to moisture. Water damage can lead to warping of wood floors, primarily affecting the unfinished underside of boards. Moisture left on laminate or carpet for too long can cause backing to rot or underlayment to be damaged. Consider the cost of replacing flooring versus buying a rubber mat for under a mini-fridge, freezer, or refrigerator. Refrigeration equipment secretes moisture due to damaged drain pans, faulty door seals, or clogged drain lines, potentially happening without warning. A refrigerator floor protector mat, if installed during fridge installation, will protect floors throughout the equipment’s life. Mats under fridges or freezers need to be water-resistant, and these aesthetically pleasing rubber mats are 100% water-tight, not allowing water to pass through.
