Why put a mat under a piano? Practical Guide by Pianex

Why put a mat under an acoustic piano?

Much more than an aesthetic choice, a mat under your upright or grand piano improves acoustics, protects your floor and optimizes your playing comfort.

1. Protect your floor

• Scratch prevention: the mat prevents marks caused by the weight of the piano.
• Shock absorption: limits impact when moving.

2. Improve acoustics

• Resonance reduction: absorbs sound reflections on hard floors.
• Clearer sound: better perception of nuances and less echo.

3. Gain in comfort

• Greater playing comfort: softer footing, less fatigue.
• Footfall noise reduction: useful in apartments or shared spaces.

4. Add a decorative touch

• Interior harmony: a rug can sublimate the space around the piano.
• Customization: patterns, textures, colors... express your style.

5. Easy maintenance

• Less dust: the mat limits dust build-up under the instrument.
• Simplified cleaning: just vacuum to keep the space clean.

Conclusion

A mat under a piano protects your floor, improves playing comfort and enhances acoustics. It's a simple but essential accessory for any musical space.
