In 1984 we found that bubble pack
wrapping could be used for swimming
pool covers. We added special polymers

,.ri ro.n.r.: .: careen and Solar Blanket was born.
In 1997 our team added a layer of

T
Space Ageo Solar Blanket We
P
understood that by decreasing the

space between cells, we could increase

the insulation factor. New templates
were created and Diamond BubbleD'

was born. Shaping the cells like
diamonds instead of circles decreased
uthe
space between cells and increased
the insulating effectiveness. And after
all, diamonds are a girlDs best friend.
