Yes, all exterior walls in your home need insulation and a vapor barrier.

Have a good weekend.

Yes, all exterior walls are part of your house envelope that separate conditioned space from unconditioned . Therefore, there must be insulated and have a Vapour barrier on the warm side.

Cheers,

Arlene, Yes to the insulation question. It doesn't matter that the washer & dryer are there, all exterior walls should be insulated for the general warmth of the building.
