I plan on building a shower with one wall up against an exterior wall. For space reasons the tile backer board will be attached directly to the exterior wall studs. Normally I would put a vapor barrier over the fiberglass insulation in the wall, but I know you are not supposed to put a vapor barrier on the outside of a shower to prevent moisture trapping. So, vapor barrier or not? Code for insulation says yes, shower builders say no. Will the shower tiles act as a vapor barrier for the insulation? Or does the wet shower environment make an insulation vapor barrier even more important? Shower will be tile with FusionPro grout on Densshield board.
