Working in a 1950s house that has no insulation. Redoing the shower (which had no insulation) with hardi, Redgard, and ceramic subway tile. I usually throw unfaced fiberglass insulation between the hardi and the exterior facing wall, nothing on interior sides.
The contractor pulled it out and said he'd rather leave it uninsulated because "none of the house has insulation and insulation behind showers can cause mold issues, no need to risk it here if the there's no insulation in the rest of the house".
Location- Socal - warm weather, few rainy days a year.
Will this cause an issue later? What's the "right" way here?
