Condensation in outer corner
Hello,
I was building and was about to finish OSB-Gypsum when I discovered condensation.
I checked the entire house; it seems that there is condensation in all the exterior corners of the house.
Is it poorly taped between the plastic ceiling-wall?
I followed the instructions, at least 20cm overlap, taped wall plastic to ceiling plastic, then clamped with a 45x45 installation layer batten.
When I feel with my nails, the tape hasn't come off or bubbled anywhere; it is tight.
I have underfloor heating on and no direct ventilation, just slightly opened the facade vents. No dehumidifier either. The house was sealed in July/August.
Can anyone offer tips and help?

Is there heat indoors?
I had that thought too but wouldn't the condensation then occur along the entire beam/timber since it goes all the way from the air gap outside to the plastic inside?... or am I thinking completely wrong?P Patzie said:
In all corners (inside view), a geometric thermal bridge occurs, therefore you get condensation first in the corners. Run a dehumidifier.
