Shower surround attic insulation question
I'm updating fixtures in our bathroom. Decided to go with plastic straight to stud surrounds for the new shower and bathtub. Previously, the walls were sheetrock+tile (already removed in the picture). My house is a split level. The bathroom is on the upper level. Half of the bathroom's back wall has the attic behind it. There's insulation and vapor barrier on that half. My question is - do I need to do anything different with insulation/vapor barrier because I'm switching from sheetrock+tile to straight to stud plastic surrounds? Concerned about possibly letting more warm air into the attic with plastic surround vs. sheetrock+tile. I did research but can't find anything that talks about the attic being behind the plastic shower surround and if there's any special insulation requirements. submitted by /u/Can_Do_78833 [link] [comments]
