1 . A wall stud, comprising an elongated body and at least one flange extending from said body thereby providing a wall stud width (W) being greater than a thickness (T) of the elongated body, wherein the body and the at least one flange are made of hardboard. 
     
     
         2 . The wall stud according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongated body and the at least one flange together form an I-shape, L-shape, T-shape, C-shape or rectangular cross-section. 
     
     
         3 . The wall stud according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongated body and the at least one flange form folded parts of the same hardboard panel. 
     
     
         4 . The wall stud according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one flange is glued to the elongated body. 
     
     
         5 . The wall stud according to  claim 1 , wherein an interface between the elongated body and one of the at least one flanges forms a corner shape, and wherein an apex of said corner shape is provided with a radius (R). 
     
     
         6 . A wall stud, comprising an elongated body and at least one flange extending from said body thereby forming a channel-shaped wall stud, wherein the wall stud is made of a plurality of molded paper layers. 
     
     
         7 . The wall stud according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one flange extends from the elongated body at an angle of 80-90°. 
     
     
         8 . The wall stud according to  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the elongated body and the at least one flange is provided with a ruler. 
     
     
         9 . A method of manufacturing a wall stud, comprising:
 providing a hardboard panel,   providing at least one V-shaped groove in said hardboard panel,   adding glue to said V-shaped groove, and   folding said hardboard panel at an area of the V-shaped groove.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the step of providing the hardboard panel comprises splicing a plurality of hardboard panels.
