Does anyone have any input or suggestions regarding creating a dedicated concrete pad for a washing machine to sit on?
The floor itself will be 100mm concrete 100mm insulation 65mm screed with UFH and then tiled.
Just sitting here behind my desk having a washing machine on spin-cycle at the other side of the house watching the tea in my cup vibrate away made me wonder if in the house I'm renovating I should do something special under where the washing machine is meant to go, in order to stop the vibration from traveling throughout the house.
The floor itself will be de-coupled from the walls using perimiter insulation, but even then noise can and will still be transferred from floor to ground to foundation to walls.
Is there a common method of decoupling the area the washing machine will sit on and giving it "shock absorbers" of some kind?
