Hi @nodI have noticed a big price difference between PIR insulated plasterboard and an equivalent insulated with a polystyrene like material.

1. Did you consider both options?
2. Did you choose the more expensive PIR insulated board?

Yes there is a difference 

 

We don’t have much choice in what we use 

Nearly always the Architects favorite 

Kingspan and pink foam backed PP for dabbing

A lot of the older guys still call fibre tape Scrim 

Worth using paper tape around the angles 

Less cracks
