Blistering Walls? It Could Be Due to Wrong Paint Choice!
Have you ever seen a wall with paint that's bubbling, peeling, or even cracked? Even though the house was recently repainted. Well, the problem might not be the painter, but the type of paint you chose!
Why Does Paint Bubbling?
Paint bubbling is usually caused by water vapor or air trapped beneath the paint's surface. When this vapor is pushed out, the paint layer is lifted. Here are some of the main causes:
- Interior paint used outdoors
Interior paint is not designed to withstand heat, rain, or UV rays. As a result, it quickly deteriorates when exposed to extreme weather.
- Not using a primer (alkali sealer)
Painting directly without a base on a new cement surface can cause a chemical reaction and cause the paint to lift.
- The wall is still damp or not completely dry
Water still trapped inside the wall can cause internal pressure.
- Not cleaning the surface first
Remaining dust, mold, or oil will interfere with the paint's adhesion.
Solutions to Prevent Paint Bubbles
- Use paint that's appropriate for its intended use:
Exterior paint for the outside of the house, interior paint for the inside.
- Use a primer first.
A primer like an alkali-resisting primer helps with adhesion and prevents chemical damage to the new wall.
- Make sure the surface is completely dry and clean.
Before painting, check the wall for moisture and clean it of dust or mold.
- Use quality products from trusted brands.
Cheap paint may seem economical at first, but it's wasteful in the end. Invest in paint that has high durability.
