        "text": "Spray foam insulation, particularly closed-cell spray foam, is the industry standard for steel home finish-outs. Metal conducts heat rapidly and creates condensation risks when warm interior air meets cold exterior steel panels. Closed-cell foam applies directly to the metal exterior walls and roof deck, creating a continuous air barrier and vapor retarder that stops thermal bridging and prevents moisture buildup. A practical tradeoff is upfront cost: spray foam requires a higher initial investment than fiberglass batts, but it prevents hidden structural rust, reduces HVAC loads, and seals gaps far more effectively.",
