It’s common to see paint peeling off walls, ceilings, or surfaces.
Peeling paint affects the home occupants, making the home unattractive and even causing health issues.

But what causes it ?

Let’s understand the common reasons that cause the paint to start peeling off.

1) Water Damage
If your place or specified area experiences water damage, leaking or high humidity, it might cause the paint to peel. The paint does not adhere well to wet or damp surfaces.

2) High Humidity Environment
High humidity in poorly ventilated indoors can cause moisture build-up in the walls or surfaces, which can lead to blisters in the paint and then start to peel.

3) Poor or Lack of Preparation
The surfaces or walls need to be thoroughly checked and prepared before starting the painting job. Applying the paint on an unprimed or uneven surface and dirty surfaces with dust, dirt, oil, or grease is unacceptable.

4) Apply Too Many Layers of Paint
The questionable painting works by using too much paint so that the paint is layered on too thickly. This issue will worsen for ceilings due to the excessive paint limit.

5) The Paint Product Itself
Sometimes, the peeling paint issue is caused by the paint product. Don’t use poor quality paint in the market as it is not usable and durable. So buy some better quality paint products like from MCI Paint Sdn Bhd.

Also, use the correct type or compatible paint, as there are too many different types of paint in the market now.
We still have to remind everyone not to use expired paint cause their product effectiveness has dropped tremendously.

6) Hire Experienced Painter
Last but not least, hire an experienced contractor to do the painting job. You can refer to another article here. on what to consider when hiring a painting contractor.
