Abstract
A building stud for forming a framework for mounting wall panels can include a first and a second flange portions and a web portion interconnecting the flange portions. The flange portions can include a planar, elongated wood fibre member, and the web portion can include a polymer based and/or cellulose fibre based sheet member. The web portion can include a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness. The lines of weakness can be parallel and along which the sheet member is foldable to enable folding the building stud from a retracted storage position to an expanded mounting position.
Claims13
A building stud for forming a framework for mounting wall panels, comprising a first and a second flange portions and a web portion interconnecting the flange portions, wherein each flange portion comprises a planar, elongated wood fibre member, and in that the web portion consisting of a polymer based and/or cellulose fibre based sheet member including a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness, wherein the rectilinear lines of weakness are parallel, and the sheet member is foldable along the rectilinear lines of weakness 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 of the plurality of elongated building studs comprising a first and a second flange portion and a web portion interconnecting the flange portions, each flange portion comprising a planar elongated wood fibre member, and wherein the web portion consisting of a polymer based and/or cellulose fibre based sheet member including a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness, wherein lines of weakness are parallel, the method comprising the step of:
- bringing each building stud, before mounting the building stud in the wall structure, from a retracted storage position, the flange portions being arranged in a common plane in the retracted storage position, to an expanded mounting position, the flange portions being arranged in two parallel planes in the expanded mounting position, by folding the sheet member along said lines of weakness.
