Nanjing, China — September 2026

Jiangning District Xinlong Light Steel Keel Factory (formerly Nanjing Jiangning District Xianglong Light Steel Keel Factory), a manufacturer specialising in building-grade light steel keels since 2009, is spotlighting its Steel Stud & Track Framing System — Light Gauge Keel for Gypsum Board Construction, a complete metal skeleton solution designed for drywall partition and false ceiling installations.

Engineered for Performance and Precision

The system is produced from high-quality galvanised steel strip through cold bending technology, engineered to meet strict quality standards. It comprises several integrated components that together form a complete structural framework:

C-shaped studs serve as the primary vertical supports, providing the framework onto which gypsum boards are fixed.

U-shaped tracks function as horizontal channels installed at the top and bottom of the wall system, securing the studs in position.

Main channels and furring channels are utilised in ceiling applications to create a robust support grid.

The system accommodates various specifications, including D38, D45, D50, and D60 series for ceiling applications, offering designers and contractors flexibility across different project requirements.

Key Benefits for Modern Construction

This light gauge steel framing solution delivers multiple advantages for construction projects:

Lightweight yet structurally robust — Easy to transport and install on-site, while reducing the structural load on buildings.

Galvanised coating — Provides effective corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance across various building environments.

Dry construction method — Reduces installation time and minimises on-site waste compared to traditional wet trades.

Non-combustible steel — Naturally fire-resistant, will not warp or shrink, and is pest-proof.

The framing system also contributes to earthquake resistance, dustproofing, and sound absorption — performance attributes that have made light gauge steel framing a preferred choice in modern interior construction. Industry analysis projects the Asia-Pacific light gauge steel framing market to grow at a CAGR of 10.0–11.2% between 2026 and 2034, driven by rapid urbanisation and the shift towards sustainable, cost-effective building materials.

Versatile Application Scenarios

The Steel Stud & Track Framing System is suitable for a wide range of building types, including hotels, terminal buildings, shopping malls, office buildings, and residential projects. The system supports the growing trend toward prefabricated and modular construction, enabling flexible interior space division and integrated routing of electrical and plumbing services through pre-punched stud knockouts.

Growing Market Demand: The global light gauge steel framing market continues to expand, with commercial end users holding 42–46% of the market share in 2025 and projected to grow at 8.4–9.2% CAGR through 2034. Xinlong Factory is well-positioned to serve this demand with its 17 years of manufacturing expertise.
