Why does paint crack on window sills and frames? POSSIBLE CAUSE: Paint can sometimes peel from frames and window sills due to moisture. Water that has collected on the sill eventually seeps into the paint film. The pressure of the film causes peeling when the water evaporates. This moisture could be condensation from the interior or rain and snow from the exterior.
