Diamond Jumbolon Board - the best Thermal Insulation Solution for buildings, now produced in Pakistan

The economic success of a country and industrial units is heavily dependant upon the optimum utilisation of its energy resources. Our country is going through an energy crisis. Saving energy directly reduces cost per unit production, enabling industrialists to be competitive in the market. In this situation, insulation plays a vital role in reducing the consumption of energy.
Our country is going through an energy crisis... in this situation, insulation plays a vital role in reducing the consumption of energy. Towards this end, Diamond Group of Industries have introduced energy saving Diamond Jumbolon Board (Extruded Polystyrene Board) first time in Pakistan.
Historically a shelter has been built to reduce the effects of local climatic variations, to avoid the heat of the sun in summers and to conserve heat in winters. With changing life styles and increased consumption of energy and cost thereof; it should be our first priority to insulate our houses for improved thermal comport, durability and economy. A conservative estimate shows that in buildings, more than 50% of energy is consumed for heating and cooling by air conditioners and heaters.
Generally, European architectural designs are being adopted in our country, but lesser attention is being given to insulate them, which is consequently increasing electricity load and over burdening our economy which should be properly taken care of. We are producing and marketing insulation products under the brand name "DAIMOND JUMBOLON", which are used for thermal insulation of buildings. Headed by a dynamic team of professionals, Diamond Jumbolon is serving the nation in energy conservation sector and providing cost effective and comfortable indoor environment for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Diamond Jumbolon Board, with excellent results in thermal insulations, has now become the preferred choice of all the leading architects, HVACR and civil engineering consultants.

NOTES:
Temperature difference made by the solution is high and thermal comfort level is maintained for the whole day. Foam (Jumbolon Board) insulation is equally good for both seasons not only it maintains thermal comfort level keeping cool in summer but also keeps the house warm in winter.
The temperatures above are based on average readings over 20 days during 1-31 July 2010. (Reproduced from the original text)
