Abstract
Building stud (10) for forming a framework for mounting wall panels, comprising a first (12) and a second (14) flange portion and a web portion (16) interconnecting the flange portions. The flange portions comprise a planar, elongated wood fibre member (18, 20), and the web portion comprises a sheet metal member (22) including a first (24) and a second (26) rectilinear line of weakness, which lines of weakness are parallel and along which the sheet metal member is foldable to enable folding the building stud from a retracted storage position to an expanded mounting position.

A building stud configured to form a framework for mounting wall panels, the building stud comprising a first and a second flange portion and a web portion interconnecting the first and the second flange portions, wherein each flange portion comprises a planar, elongated wood fiber member, and the web portion comprises a sheet metal member, wherein an entire length of the sheet metal member includes a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness, wherein the rectilinear lines of weakness are parallel and along which the sheet metal member is foldable to enable the building stud to be brought from a retracted storage position to an expanded mounting position.
A method of providing a wall structure comprising a plurality of elongated building studs each comprising a first and a second flange portion and a web portion interconnecting the flange portions, wherein each flange portion comprises a planar elongated wood fiber member, and wherein the web portion comprises a sheet metal member including a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness that runs along an entire length of the sheet metal member, wherein the first and the second rectilinear lines of weakness are parallel, the method comprising the step of:
- bringing each building stud, by folding the sheet metal member along said rectilinear lines of weakness from a retracted storage position in which the flange portions are arranged in a common plane to an expanded mounting position in which the flange portions are arranged in two parallel planes.
