I'm considering lining the rooms in a solid walled house with PIR insulation. Is it a requirement that if I do that I have to install sprinkler systems (fire prevention) also?
No. Why would you even think that?I'm considering lining the rooms in a solid walled house with PIR insulation. Is it a requirement that if I do that I have to install sprinkler systems (fire prevention) also?

Don't use insulation backed plasterboard, use kingspan + plasterboard.
Much cheaper for the same amount / u-value of insulation, and easier to handle.
Not really, no.Easier to use insulation backed plasterboard
Not really, no.
Absolutely - no.which all produce similar outcomes
That is likely. However, there are more robust ways of insulating whilst countering the problems associated with condensation, more effectively. Most people don't realise they have a condensation problem because they can't see it.Used 50mm insulation backed PB on the inside of all external walls in my previous house. Had no issues in over 8 years.
