Delamination refers to the process whereby a coating—such as paint, varnish, wallpaper, or another surface treatment—separates from the underlying layer. This phenomenon can occur for various reasons and often leads to both aesthetic and functional impairments of the affected surfaces. Delamination is a common issue in construction and renovation projects and requires careful analysis and treatment to achieve a lasting solution.
