Problem = Heat Loss From the Home, Spiralling Energy Bills & Elevated CO2 Emissions

The walls in our home are responsible for up to 30% of all the heat we lose and our ceilings account for further 15%. This means that a standard UK property loses £1 for every £2 spent on central heating. The simple truth is that more we spend on heating, the more carbon dioxide we produce and the more money we waste. With energy bills constantly increasing as well as our concern with how big our carbon footprints are, insulating the interior of our homes as much as we can is essential.

Diamond Standard Vodka moves beyond the cluttered "Ultra-Premium," category, where vodkas priced in the $30-$40 range have long lacked clear differentiation.
