The Joh.deHeer Grand Piano Carpet - 161 is the ideal addition to your acoustic grand piano. The carpet has been designed to optimally protect both your grand piano and the floor. A grand piano carpet is not just any carpet, but a way to neatly incorporate a heat shield. This is the tool you can use when you want to place your grand piano on a floor with underfloor heating. However, the carpet serves multiple purposes, providing you with the following benefits:

• Protects your instrument from rising heat of underfloor heating
• Sound-dampening properties
• Prevents direct floor contact, avoiding vibrations
• Protects your floor from scratches
• Prevents dust and dirt from getting underneath your piano

Dimensions of the Grand Piano Carpet

The Joh.deHeer Grand Piano Carpet - 150 x 161 has a size of 150 x 161 cm. This allows all grand pianos with a maximum outer dimension of 150 cm wide and 161 cm deep to be placed on this carpet. Do you have a larger grand piano? The carpet is also available in the following dimensions: 145x145, 150x173, 150x186, 150x200, and 155x227.

Humidity

For the technical condition of a piano or grand piano, it is essential that your instrument is placed in good conditions. Too low humidity or rising heat from underfloor heating can cause cracks and splits in the soundboard, chamber, and tuning block. The result is that your piano becomes untunable and loses its sound and value. Repairing this is very expensive, which is why it's important to monitor the humidity with a hygrometer. For a piano, the humidity should be between 40 and 60%.

The piano carpet is a means to counteract the rising heat from underfloor heating and protect your instrument. However, you still need to keep an eye on the humidity level. If it's too low, it's best to have a grand piano life saver system installed to protect your instrument.
