My husband used to work with a metal building construction firm.
The buildings were used both for businesses and homes.
They used a roll of insulation material on the inside of the metal. It had
fiberglass insulation on the side next to the metal and vinyl on the inside
of the building.

Some people finished the buildings with brick facades and there were
usually interior walls for dividing off rooms or offices. Carpet put on the
floor. We live in a high humidity area with only about 6 weeks of winter,
about 2 of which are below freezing temperatures, some as low as zero F.
