Yes found that out when looking at the price.

I'm not much dearer than pir plus plasterboard and you'll save about 50 quid in glue

And time.

£56 quid a sheet for 50mm insulated plasterboard vs £36 for same size for celotex plus plasterboard, when doing a whole garage that extra will soon add up.

I converted half of my garage to an office with insulation, etc.

It does but you have to factor in the ease of use and install and the time saving as well.

Significantly reducing labour time for yourself and the ease is well worth the trade off to me for an extra £20 a sheet.

You need to weigh up the pros and cons of both and not just flat out look at the total initial cost.

Does the celotex require any vapour barrier?

Where did you get those prices? I dont mind paying £56, its not a huge garage.

£49.42 here https://materialsmarket.com/plasterboard-drylining/insulated-plasterboard
However don't expect to get the brand you select, I ordered some Kingspan and clicked the "Do not substitute for equivalent" box but still got sent a different brand.

Thanks, not worried too much about the brand if it does the job.
