It's the only room that does it. I can only think its to do with condensation. The windows are opened to get rid of condensation and clears up quickly. I cannot understand why the paint is peeling.

Just incase I haven't made myself clear its not the window itself the paint is peeling around windowsill area. Particularly the ceiling.

It may be because latex based paint was used over an oil based paint with out the proper primer. OR it wasn't prepped cleaned and primed properly before painting. remedy: a quick fix is go to sherwin willams purchase sealcrete. apply with foam roller over peeling paint,it will help. proper way to fix would be to remove peeling paint,w/ sand paper or pt remover, sand, apply liquid sand paper,prime(kilz primer) ,top coat with you choice of paint.

please do not paint the organic wood, placed a superb clean coat on it, in case you will desire to paint, do the appropriate prep paintings and you will not have a situation. Sand the wood down with 220 grit sandpaper, use an extremely good primer, make beneficial it drys and remedies until now you paint. Get an extremely good paint and that i'm not asserting Walmart, locate this form of end you pick, gloss, semi-gloss etc. ans use that, 2 coats will paintings, no count if this is severe traffice bypass the gloss a harder finisher

moisture is the culprit..it does not take noticeable water or condensation to cause damage.... try weather stripping the window and then scrape all peeling paint off and use a good primer and repaint...the clerks at a paint store can recommend a good one for your needs.

well, if it's not the condensation, then maybe at one time someone put something aroud that window to protect it from the weather, mybe you should strip off the part that is peeling and start from scratch.

You are correct. Moisture is coming in from the window, or being created when the cold air seeping in from the window hits the warm air in the house.

Did anyone think to check to see if there's a leak in the roof? or the siding? or maybe even the window itself?
