HOW OUR TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN TOP LOADING WASHING MACHINE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
Lower the number of service calls – Our TPEs for
anti-vibration feet reduce appliance movement and
walking during use, thus lowering the number of
service calls and reducing costs.
Keep top load washing machines from walking –
Versaflex VDT TPEs use vibration damping
technology to prevent walking during use.
