Colorado Metal Building Insulation
The main drivers of Colorado’s economy are about as vast as its geography. While tourism, financial services, real estate, and aerospace are some of the state’s leading industries, however, manufacturing, agriculture, and energy are also important.

In terms of manufacturing, Colorado’s top sectors are for transportation, chemicals, fabricated metal, electrical equipment, and machinery. Colorado has a wide expanse of rich farmland that is ideal for producing wheat, cattle, dairy products, corn, and hay. The state’s abundance of natural resources has also led to a booming energy sector, including fossil fuels, natural gas, and even clean energy.
As Colorado’s industrial economic drivers continue to grow, so does the need for structures that support those sectors. Whether they are used to house entire manufacturing facilities or simply just as a warehouse for storage, metal buildings are efficient and affordable. And in a climate like Colorado’s where summers are moderate and winters are at or below freezing, it’s important to make sure metal buildings do their job in keeping temperatures regulated, no matter what the season. That’s where CMI Insulation can help.

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.
