In 1999 our team set out to improve our 1999 Space Ageo• Solar Blanket We understood that by decreasing the space between cells, we could increase the insulation factor. New templates were created and Diamond BubbleD' was bom. Shaping the cells like diamonds instead of circles decreased the space between cells and increased the insulating effectiveness.
