The company 'GPC' is currently producing insulation for an apartment building on Tirgus Street in Valkā, Latvia. This new method, while innovative for Latvia, has been employed for years in neighboring Estonia and Scandinavia. The main difference is that the construction process is moved from the site to the factory, where most of the assembly work is completed, including the wooden frame, insulation, weather membranes, and even windows being installed before transportation to the site. According to Kārlis Reinfelds, the chairman of SIA 'Siltie nami', they produce panels for either a half or a significant portion of the building, transporting and assembling them on-site in batches, significantly reducing the construction timeline to weeks rather than months.

The first real test of this industrial insulation method will be the apartment building in Valkā. Although the cost of this industrial approach is currently higher than the traditional method of adhesive insulation, the government and European funds are compensating for the increased expenses for residents. This support is crucial as it encourages the adoption of advanced techniques that promise efficiency gains in the building sector. The trial in Valkā represents a logical next step; the municipality has been a leader in the housing sector for years, thus paving the way for innovative solutions to meet the modern challenges of building insulation.

Utilizing this method not only accelerates the insulation process but also signifies a shift towards more efficient construction practices in Latvia, which could potentially influence the wider European building market. If the method proves successful, it may lead to broader applications and possibly set a standard that other municipalities might follow in order to modernize their housing infrastructure and improve energy efficiency.
