Whats an acceptable way to insulate a stud wall between garage and house?

I was gonna build it with 3" x 2" timber.... so it's either 60 mm celotex or 100mm loft roll squeezed in.

Any opinions?

The last stud wall we built as per BR betwixt a garage and habitable as follows:
Inside to out..

12.5mm foil back plasterboard.
18mm ply (optional).
100mm stud wall.
100mm Celotex between studs, all joints foil taped.
50mm Celotex across studs (externally) all joints taped.
2 layers 12.5mm fireboards.

Filling between studs alone won't cut it. You need another layer across the studs to prevent shadowing (cold bridging). This can be fitted internally or externally.

Thats way OTT..... probably be cheaper and less hassle to build it in block
 
Good point Nose. How did u get 100mm PIR into a 4x2 stud wall?
 
Ah, ok makes sense. Thanks again. I've ordered 100mm for between and 50mm over the top. Hoping 1 layer of fireline will suffice on garage side.

One layer fireline will be fine. We did two and cross jointed because the customer wanted max sound block.
 
Would acoustic board meet the same fire retardency level of fibreboard?
