Two types of condensation

TypeWhere
Surface condensationOn visible cold surfaces (glass, cold corner).
Interstitial condensationInside the construction, not visible; more dangerous because damage is noticed late.

The solution rarely lies in just wiping it away or dehumidifying, but in the combination of better insulation, a seamless vapor barrier, and sufficient ventilation.
