— - In 1984 we found that bubble pack
wrapping could be used for swimming
pool covers. We added special polymers
to our plastic for strength and durability
nU70MAT.0 c:ra.n=„ and Solar Blanket was born.
In 1997 our team added a layer of
aluminum to our Solar Blanket that
increased its reflective value, increasing
heat retention. The Space Age[]* Solar
Blanket was born.
In 1999 our team set out to improve our
Space Age❑* Solar Blanket. We
understood that by decreasing the
space between cells, we could increase
the insulation factor. New templates
were created and Diamond Bubble[]*
was born. Shaping the cells like
diamonds instead of circles decreased
the space between cells and increased
the insulating effectiveness. And after
ail, diamonds are a girl❑s best friend.
