BD222 is one of the standard architrave profiles in the WoodUChoose profile library - part of the BD series of traditional moulding patterns that UK joiners, merchants and specifiers have used for decades. If you have landed here looking for the BD222 drawing, it is available as a PDF profile sheet, and every profile in our library can be made to order in the timber, width and thickness you need.
What is the BD222 profile?
The BD-series numbers come from the standard pattern charts used across the UK timber trade. Each number identifies a specific moulding shape, so a joiner in Cornwall and a merchant in Carlisle can talk about the same profile without exchanging drawings. BD222 is an architrave pattern: the decorative moulding that frames a door or window opening and covers the joint between the frame and the wall.

Where BD222 is used
Like most traditional architrave patterns, BD222 appears around internal door linings and window openings in both period and modern homes. If you are extending, renovating or repairing, the usual challenge is that an off-the-shelf architrave does not quite match what is already on the wall - the shape is close, but the proportions are wrong. That is exactly the problem a pattern-number profile solves: it is made to the drawing, not to whatever happens to be in stock.
Ordering BD222 made to measure
Every profile in our library, BD222 included, can be made to order:
- Any timber - from standard softwoods to oak, tulipwood, sapele and other hardwoods. If you are unsure which species suits your project, our wood database compares the options.
- Any size - the pattern can be scaled or adjusted in width and thickness to match your existing mouldings.
- Compared quotes - your requirement goes to specialist UK moulding manufacturers who quote against the same specification.
Start from the pre-designed architrave profiles to browse the library, or if you are matching an existing moulding that is not a standard pattern, use the made-to-match service: photograph or trace the profile and we will match it.
Not the profile you were looking for?
The BD series contains many related architrave and skirting patterns. If BD222 is not quite the shape on your wall, the made-to-match route works from your photo, sketch or a cardboard template - the profile does not need a pattern number to be reproduced. We also cover how to match skirting board profiles in a separate guide; the same approach applies to architraves.
