Both steel keels and light steel keels are commonly used support structures in the construction industry, but there are some key differences between them.

light steel keel:

Made of galvanized steel or sheet steel, rolled by a special rolling mill multi-pass process

Various cross-sectional shapes, including U-shaped, C- shaped, T-shaped, and L-shaped

Mainly used for fixed gypsum board, calcium plastic board, sound-absorbing board, etc., commonly used in indoor partition wall and ceiling construction

Steel keel:

Made of pure steel, heavy weight compared to light steel keel

Its properties are similar to light steel keel, but the materials used are different; light steel keel uses thin steel plates, while steel keel uses pure steel

Application recommendations:

If you have a limited budget, you can choose a wooden keel; if you pay more attention to quality, use a light steel keel

In large-area tooling projects, it is recommended to use light steel keel; while in home decoration, wood keel or light steel keel can be selected for mixed construction according to needs

In summary, the main difference between light steel keel and steel keel is the material used. The former uses galvanized steel or thin steel plate, and the latter uses pure steel. Depending on the project needs and budget, the appropriate keel type can be selected.
