The Iron-Horse entrance mat from Kleen-Tex is a professional cleaning solution with 3-4 liters moisture absorption per m² and the ability to retain 800 grams of dirt. This luxury textile mat constitutes the first line of defense against contaminants in your building. Manufactured in Europe with certified premium materials.
Why Iron-Horse is the Best Choice?
The exceptional effectiveness results from High-Twist Nylon (HTN) technology, where polyamide 6 fiber undergoes high-twist processing and mass dyeing. Each fiber acts like a microscopic brush that scrapes off contaminants and transfers them to deep mat layers of 10-11 mm height. The surface remains visually clean while dirt is safely retained inside.
Backing made from 100% phthalate-free nitrile rubber weighing 1700 g/m² tested according to NFSI High-Traction standards guarantees slip-resistant properties even on wet surfaces. Total weight of 2400 g/m² ensures stability without adhesives or tapes.
Kleen-Tex provides an 5-year product warranty and 11-year color fastness warranty. The mat maintains properties for minimum 2 years under industrial washing at 60°C. Professional entrance mats can reduce cleaning costs by 65% and extend floor life by 40%.
Available in 9 sophisticated colors – from Black Mink, Black Brown, through Granite and Black Steel, to Black Scarlet and Black Blue – allowing perfect matching to visual identity. Custom dimensions up to 200 cm × 700 cm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Iron-Horse mat impact building cleaning cost reduction?
Studies show that up to 80% of contaminants enter buildings on shoe soles. Iron-Horse retains most of these contaminants at the entrance, meaning less dirt on floors, carpets, and interior surfaces. Customers report cleaning cost reductions of 50-65% and floor lifespan extensions of 30-40%. With the mat price being a fraction of annual cleaning costs, the investment pays for itself within the first year of use.
Can Iron-Horse be used in recessed systems (floor embedding)?
Yes, Iron-Horse performs excellently in recessed systems. The borderless version (3 cm narrower) is ideally adapted for installation in aluminum frames or floor recesses. The total mat height of 11-12 mm allows flush-mounting, where the mat surface is level with the floor, eliminating architectural barriers and facilitating wheelchair passage.
What are the absorption differences between Iron-Horse and standard competitor mats?
Iron-Horse offers moisture absorption of 3-4 l/m², placing it at the top of the premium mat market. In comparison, standard mats offer 1-2 l/m² absorption. Additionally, Iron-Horse retains 800 g/m² of solid dirt, while competitive products retain 400-600 g/m². This dual advantage – moisture and dirt – makes Iron-Horse a 40-60% more effective solution.
Do Iron-Horse colors actually last 11 years without fading?
The 11-year warranty on color fastness covers significant color loss, not minimal fading. Mass-dyed fibers mean pigments penetrate the entire fiber structure, so even with natural surface wear, color remains intense. Manufacturer Kleen-Tex conducts accelerated aging tests simulating 11 years of sunlight exposure and intensive use, confirming this warranty.
How to order Iron-Horse in custom dimensions?
Iron-Horse mats in custom dimensions are available up to a maximum width of 200 cm and length of 700 cm. Contact the supplier directly, providing exact entrance dimensions and preferred color. Custom order fulfillment time is typically 10-14 business days. Remember the production tolerance of +/- 3%, which should be considered in precise measurements.
Iron-Horse is more than an entrance mat – it's a comprehensive cleaning solution that protects your floor investment, reduces operational costs, and elevates facility prestige. With a 5-year manufacturer warranty and unmatched durability, Iron-Horse represents a safe choice for commercial property owners and managers.
