        "text": "Insulation choices typically balance thermal performance against material costs and space constraints. Closed-cell spray foam provides the highest R-value per inch, adds structural rigidity, and serves as an effective vapor barrier against metal sweating, but it carries a higher upfront cost. Fiberglass batts paired with framing or continuous rigid foam boards are more budget-friendly alternatives, though they demand meticulous installation to prevent air gaps and moisture leaks against the exterior steel panels. Choosing between them depends on your budget, clear-span height, and how consistently you intend to heat or cool the space.",
