From the above, you will notice that there are two types of metal buildings that we sell . . . portable cabins (or portacabins) and containers.

In either case mentioned above, the two materials of the wall are separated by the polyurethane insulator that minimizes heat transmission from the outer walls to the inner walls.

Bottom line.
