There Are Many Advantages to Using Rubber Washers
Although it's generally thought that metal washers offer enhanced durability and performance, the reality is that rubber washers have a number of significant benefits which often means they are a more suitable choice for your project. Not only are they often a more cost-effective choice, they can also bring added value in a range of different applications.

Enhanced Durability, Reduced Noise
Despite the perception that metal washers are stronger, it's frequently a well-made rubber washer that will last the longest! In addition, rubber washers often make less noise during movement – a valuable asset when quiet working is required. Further advantages relate to the relatively light weight of rubber; a rubber washer weighs less than a metal one of comparable size and function. Although the weight difference may only be a fraction of an ounce, when hundreds (or even thousands) of washers are used, the weight difference really becomes apparent.
