Blown insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is a versatile and efficient solution we at Luas Insulation & Energy Consulting recommend for attics, walls, and hard-to-reach areas in residential and commercial settings. Installed using specialized blowing machines, this method allows for quick, non-invasive application that fills voids and conforms to irregular shapes, ensuring maximum coverage without the need for major renovations.

We specialize in two primary materials:
 

• Blown Fiberglass: Made from recycled glass fibers, it offers an R-value of 2.2-4.3 per inch depending on density. It's non-combustible, resistant to pests, and doesn't settle over time, making it a reliable choice for long-term performance. Ideal for attics and wall cavities, it helps reduce energy bills by creating a consistent thermal envelope.
   

• Blown Cellulose: Derived from recycled newspaper treated with fire retardants and borates for pest and mold resistance, this eco-friendly option provides an R-value of 3.2-3.8 per inch. It's particularly effective in our region's variable weather, as it absorbs and releases moisture without losing insulating properties, and it adds a layer of soundproofing.
   

At Luas, we believe strongly in combining blown insulation with proper attic ventilation, such as our solar attic fans (detailed below), to create a balanced system that circulates air, prevents heat buildup, and extends the life of your roof and HVAC system. This combination can lower attic temperatures by 30-50 degrees in summer, reducing cooling costs by 20-30%. Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine the right depth and material for your needs, ensuring compliance with energy codes.

With our commitment to integrity, we use only high-quality, sustainable materials and provide detailed post-installation inspections. Serving New Orleans and Baton Rouge, we're ready to transform your space—call us today at 6164 Louis XIV St, New Orleans, LA 70124.
