Reasons Why Paint Crack, Bubble or Peel

Painting the interior or exterior of a commercial establishment is not an easy thing to do. As the look of your establishment would affect your customers' impression of your business, you really have to be very careful. As time goes by, you would notice that paint has cracked, bubbled or peeled. There's nothing that can be more frustrating than that.

 

If you're also curious why it happens, here are some of the reasons that may help:

 

Small Bubbles

 

When you painted the wall and noticed bubbles in it, this happens for 2 reasons. It can either be that you went too fast with the roller or brush or the paint was shaken too much. The glossier the paint, the more you will see small bubbles move quickly.

 

Medium Bubbles

 

This is common when painting the exterior area of any property. One of the reasons that this happens is that you used paint that isn't capable enough of handling extreme temperatures or high humidity. If you plan to paint during summer or winter, make sure the paint would work well with the temperature or humidity at that time.

 

Large Bubbles

 

If you use oil-based paint over latex, you will notice large bubbles on the surface. Make sure you know the pros and cons to the type of paint you are using. This is one of the reasons why it would be best to hire commercial painters on the Gold Coast or in your local area.

 

Cracks

 

When paint cracks, it can be caused by applying paint too thickly or painting on a dirty surface. It can also be caused by painting too thinly or the paint just have poor quality. Applying paint while primer is wet can also cause cracks just like applying new paint to a glossy finish.

 

Peels

 

If the paint can't stick well on the wall, it would start peeling later on. This can be caused by the humidity. It can also be caused by using the wrong paint.
