What does it mean to peel paint?

Peeling paint refers to the process where layers of paint begin to separate and lift away from the surface to which they were applied. This can occur due to various factors, such as moisture, poor surface preparation, or the use of incompatible paint types. Peeling not only affects the aesthetic appearance but can also lead to further damage to the underlying material if not addressed promptly. Proper surface preparation and application techniques are essential to prevent this issue.
