Arizona Metal Building Insulation
Arizona was one of the hardest-hit states in the most recent economic downturn, and for a few years, commercial and industrial construction came to a halt. But today, Arizona’s economy has been one of the fastest to bounce back. New construction for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings is booming due to fairly inexpensive land that is available throughout the state, while still being relatively close to a major metropolitan area.
Manufacturing is one of Arizona’s strongest industries, and the state is one of the top five export markets in the U.S. Along with the growth in commercial, manufacturing, and warehousing facilities comes the need for efficient structures. Arizona’s climate sees both extremes of hot and cold throughout the year depending on the location, and it’s important that metal building structures are built to withstand both.
Without the right insulation for steel or metal building, the personnel, products, or commodities won’t stay in their optimal state efficiently. Additionally, structures waste vast amounts of energy output that could otherwise be saved with proper insulation.

Customer Testimonials
Very happy with my purchase here. I was lost as far as how to insulate my metal building. I almost pulled the trigger on just doing foam boards you buy Home Depot, but found this company through a colleague.
The price for their insulation was about the same as it would have been for the foam boards but the R-value was better and it was all custom-cut for my building.
Installing the batts was a learning process, especially for the roof. You can certainly do it as a one-man band, but it’s going to take some time and little tricks to make it work.
The insulation is very high quality, and I can absolutely tell a difference inside my shop!

I purchased insulation for my Barndominium in Malad ID, about 6 years ago and they provided me with a fantastic product that was made exactly to my specs. Swenson really took care of me. It is a bit of a drive but I was down there again last week #CustomerForLife.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of insulation for a metal building in Arizona?
For metal buildings, especially in Arizona’s extreme climate, the top-performing insulation is faced fiberglass insulation provided by CMI Insulation’s custom solutions:
Faced Fiberglass Blanket (2″–12″) – Available in R‑7 up to R‑38. The facing includes a reinforced vapor barrier, no stapling required, and comes in color‑coded rolls for easy installation.
Spray foam and rigid boards can also be effective, but faced fiberglass offers a balanced, professional-grade solution that factors in cost, ease of installation, and long-term performance in hot, dry climates.
How do I insulate a pre-existing metal building in Arizona?
Retrofitting an existing metal structure using CMI Insulation’s systems can be done efficiently – no need for demolition.
Choose the Right System:
Retrofit Insulation System: CMI custom‑cuts faced fiberglass blankets to fit directly between wall and roof framing members.
Install the Facing Properly: The reinforced vapor-barrier facing is designed to eliminate condensation, seal off moisture, and enhance reflective interior surfaces, without requiring staples.
Layer to Increase R‑Value: Start with a faced blanket (e.g., R‑13 or R‑19) and then add additional unfaced insulation on top for higher R‑values
Finish and Seal: Seal around penetrations and edges as needed. Install optional interior finish panels or drywall for aesthetics or code compliance.
This method delivers fast installation, minimal waste, and improved efficiency – with materials tailored to your exact building dimensions.
What is the best R-value insulation for metal buildings in Arizona?
Recommended R‑Values for Arizona:
Walls: R‑13 to R‑19
Roof/Ceiling: R‑25 to R‑38
Layering faced insulation with additional unfaced batts allows you to customize R‑value based on building use and energy goals – retail, warehouse, workshop, or living space. CMI Insulation’s color-coded system and custom roll widths simplify installation and ensure optimal performance.
