Ok, thermal insulation is naturally more given with Ytong or similar stones, and they are also much easier to work with than KS. KS is also very heavy; by hand (without a crane) I would process max. 17.5 x 50 x 25 cm, these already weigh just over 30 kg. The advantage of KS lies in soundproofing, which is not so important for the garage, and that you can more easily attach something to the wall, whereas with Ytong you might need special anchors. I had never done masonry before and have now built a few KS walls (e.g., shower partition). Once the first row is plumb, you can build up the rest almost without a spirit level. Mortar on it and just by the weight, the very precise stones already press firmly on the one below.
