Retrofit Insulation Systems
Old metal buildings don’t have to stay drafty, dingy, or inefficient. Retrofitting your structure with new insulation is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. It saves money on energy, improves comfort, and transforms the interior appearance. At CMI, we’ve engineered a retrofit insulation system that’s fast, effective, and easy enough for a single person to install. It’s insulation that works just as hard as your building does.
What Is a Retrofit Insulation System?
Retrofitting means adding insulation to an existing structure. This is typically done in a steel or pole barn building that wasn’t originally insulated or needs an upgrade. CMI’s proprietary retrofit system is designed to fit between purlins with minimal hassle and maximum performance.
Here’s why building owners and contractors trust it:
- Installs without the need for a large crew
- Designed for clean, seamless aesthetics
- Secure hold using our exclusive clip-and-wire system
- Laminated insulation with top-tier fiberglass and facings
Why Choose CMI’s Retrofit Insulation System?
Quick & Easy Installation
Unlike traditional systems that need multiple hands and frustrating metal strapping, CMI’s solution can be installed solo. Just roll out the insulation between the purlins and lock it in with our custom clips and wires. That’s it. You get a smooth, tight finish without the hassle.
Durable, Clean Appearance
No more torn liners or messy walls. Our laminated insulation includes premium facings that brighten the space and hold up over time. It gives your building a refreshed, professional look on the inside and out.
Proven Performance
This isn’t just theory! Our retrofit insulation has been installed in hundreds of buildings across North America, from agricultural barns to commercial warehouses.
Benefits of Retrofitting Your Metal Building with Insulation
- Energy Savings: Reduced heating and cooling bills year-round
- More Comfort: Keeps temperatures consistent and reduces drafts
- Better Lighting: Reflective facings improve interior brightness
- Increased Property Value: A finished interior adds appeal and resale potential
- Tax Incentives: You may qualify for federal deductions (rebates from your utility provider) when you upgrade your insulation
Frequently Asked Questions About Retrofit Insulation
Is it worth retrofitting an older building?
Absolutely, it is! If your building lacks insulation or has failing material, a retrofit can drastically improve comfort and cut energy waste. Many building owners see a full return on investment in just a few years.
Can I install retrofit insulation myself?
Yes! That’s one of the biggest perks of our system. With our custom clips and wire layout, you don’t need a big crew. A single installer can retrofit an entire structure quickly and efficiently.
What kind of insulation do you use?
We use Johns Manville formaldehyde-free and Certainteed fiberglass laminated with heavy-duty facing. It’s safer to handle, better for air quality, and extremely durable. Plus, it looks great when installed.
