If you go back half a century (for it was then that I worked for Johnson's and they moved to a site adjacent to West Ruislip station in the mid-1970's meaning the Celotex office closed) the insulation products were far less less technical -I can remember it being like two layers of thin plasterboard with a 'sandwich' of foam in between.

Celotex however in their originsal guise went  into administration owing to their exposure to lawsuits for the sale of asbestos-based products. They were a US company, the UK 'divorced' from them and then went through a series of mergers and takeovers.
