Introduction
Cracked and peeling paint is more than an aesthetic issue—it can lead to serious problems such as water damage, structural deterioration, and mould growth. Homeowners facing this common problem often feel stuck with temporary fixes, but a durable solution exists: Birla White Primacoat Exterior Primer.
In this article, we’ll explore the causes of peeling paint, the importance of using a high-quality outside primer, and why Primacoat is the best exterior primer. We’ll also provide practical tips for application, ensuring long-lasting results that enhance your home’s appearance and protection.
What causes peeling paint?
Understanding why paint peels is the first step in resolving the issue. Here are the main causes:
• Low-quality paint: Poor-quality paint lacks strong adhesion, making it prone to cracking and peeling.
• Improper surface preparation: Neglecting to clean the surface or skipping primer can weaken paint adhesion.
• Environmental factors: Extreme temperatures, high humidity, and prolonged sun exposure accelerate paint degradation.
• Moisture and structural issues: Water seepage, damp walls, and mould weaken paint layers and cause peeling.
Addressing the root cause is crucial. Repainting without proper preparation or using substandard materials will only lead to recurring problems.
The role of primer: A foundation for longevity
Primer acts as a base layer that ensures the paint adheres properly to the surface. Its benefits include:
- Enhanced adhesion: Primer strengthens the bond between the paint and surface, preventing peeling and flaking.
- Long-term durability: It shields your paint from UV rays, extreme weather, and moisture.
- Cost efficiency: By filling surface imperfections, primer reduces paint consumption, saving money.
- Improved colour vibrancy: A primer base allows the final paint colour to appear rich and consistent.
- Moisture resistance: Primer protects walls from dampness and mould, extending the life of your paint.
