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 for forming a framework for mounting wall panels, comprising a first and a second flange portion and a web portion interconnecting the flange portions, characterized in that wherein each flange portion comprises a planar, elongated wood fibre member, and in that the web portion comprises a sheet metal member including a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness, which 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, each flange portion comprising a planar elongated wood fibre member, and wherein the flange portion comprises a sheet metal member including a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness, which lines of weakness are parallel, the method comprising the step of:
- bringing each building stud, by folding the sheet metal member along said 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.
