An entry order card helps you plan the correct order of mats and runners at each door, so grit and dirt are stopped at the threshold, not trailed inside.
Mats before runners, so grit stops at the door.
Anyone setting up a home, office or hospitality space can use an entry order card, it is a clear, practical tool to check that entry mats and runners are properly sequenced and sized. Whether you are an architect finalising finishes, a facilities manager preparing for new tenants, or a homeowner wanting to keep floors clean, this card makes sure every doorway starts with the right mat.
The goal is to stop grit at the threshold and protect floors or carpets beyond. A correct order keeps entryways tidy and reduces cleaning. The entry order card is useful for new projects, renovations or annual care checks.
The card lists each doorway or entry, with columns for the type and size of mat, runner or rug, the fixing or backing, the adjacent floor finish, and notes on traffic direction or weather exposure. There is space to mark where each piece goes and to flag anything unusual, like steps, double doors or recessed matwells.
Filling it in is simple: walk the site and record details for each threshold. Note if the mat is inside or outside, if it sits flush or loose, and if it needs a grip back or edge binding. Tick off each item as you go or use the notes column for special requests.
Before ordering, use the completed card to double-check that each mat or runner matches the planned entry and floor. Share it with the installer or with us so we can confirm sizing, backing and any tricky edges.
After fitting, walk each entry with your card and check that items are present, secure and free of trip points. If you spot a problem, like a mat curling up, a gap where dirt collects, or a missing runner, note it on the card. Contact us through our form and we will help adjust or replace where needed. If you want a fresh printable copy, just ask for the entry order card by name.
