Extremely Longlife
KEIM mineral silicate paint systems were invented over 140 years ago to provide longterm protective and decorative finishes for renders subject to harsh climatic conditions. There are many examples throughout Europe of buildings that have been decorated over 100 years ago with KEIM mineral paint systems that are still in good condition today.
KEIM Mineral Paint is Different
KEIM has been widely used and specified extensively throughout the UK over the past 20 years for both external and internal projects. KEIM paint comprises of a potassium silicate binder with inorganic mineral fillers and natural earth-oxide colour pigments. The paint penetrates into the mineral substrate to form a chemical crystalline bond, becoming an integral part of the surface. This ensures an extremely longlife protective paint system.
Vapour Permeable Paint
The structure of the paint allows the free passage of vapour out of the substrate whilst preventing the ingress of driven rain providing a breathable, semi-permeable membrane.
Environmentally Friendly Paint
KEIM Mineral Paints are completely colourfast, mould, algae resistant, pollution resistant, low maintenance and environmentally friendly being waterborne, odourless and non-toxic.
Fire Resistant
KEIM Mineral Paints are inherently non-combustible and do not support the spread of flame. They achieve a Class 0 fire performance to BS476 part 6 for fire propagation and part 7 for surface spread of flame.
In addition, KEIM Paints are also rated at the top classification of A2 under the proposed new Euronorms. They give off no discernible noxious emissions and are specified by major Local Authorities, Housing Associations, Department of Transport and London Underground specifically for their fire performance characteristics

CASE STUDY: THE SHOREGATE, CRAIL
The Shoregate fine dining restaurant with rooms, has recently opened in the beautiful conservation area of Crail, Anstruther following a 30 month renovation project by the current owner to sympathetically restore the building’s heritage.
The local conservation officer recommended using KEIM as they wanted a product that could be applied onto all surfaces, to keep consistency, whilst offering longevity and durability. These surfaces included new lime roughcast render, previously painted cement and lime patch repairs, painted pebbledash and smooth render and new cement render.
Tony Carter, Senior Sales Executive of KEIM Mineral Paints, visited the project and recommended removing all areas of loose, flaky and unstable conventional acrylic coatings, especially on the north-east gable. Some areas were to be re-rendered and allowed to dry for a minimum period of 15 days (30 days for lime render), prior to the
application of KEIM paints.
It was specified that a coat of KEIM Royalan Dilution was to be used on any bare lime surfaces to equalise surface porosity. KEIM Royalan Grob was then applied over all areas to even out textural variations from the render repairs. A final coat of KEIM Royalan, in colour 9475, was used.
KEIM Royalan was chosen for this particular project as the building is coastal based and subject to harsh weather conditions. KEIM Royalan has been specifically designed for such projects as it has been formulated to withstand harsh weather conditions.
The new restaurant offers the best in locally sourced produce, which is carefully and creatively prepared. The beautiful, historic back bar has a great selection of local ales, Scottish and continental lagers, spirits from Fife and beyond, cocktails and wines.

CASE STUDY THE GEORGE HOTEL, RYE
The George Hotel is located in the middle of the cobbled high street in the medieval town of Rye. Built between the 15th and 19th century, the hotel consists of several buildings that have been knocked together. The Grade II listed building suffered from an electrical fire which gutted the building three years ago. It has been completely renovated to create a refined boutique hotel.
Richard Perry, Area Business Development Manager of KEIM Paints,
visited the project and produced a comprehensive specification. KEIM STS 7M, an environmentally friendly paint stripper, and the DOFF system were used to remove as much of the existing coatings.
Once the paint was removed, KEIM Universal Render Fine was applied to the mathematical bricks onto the front elevations to cover the uneven brickwork. This was then removed using a grout float to once again reveal the brickwork effect.
Removing the existing coatings enables the building to breathe. This allows any moisture vapour to pass through the brickwork and reduces the risk of flaking caused by dampness. KEIM Soldalit was the recommended paint system due to the depth of colours chosen. One of the main benefits of using KEIM Soldalit is that it is fire resistant and meets the category A2-s1, d0. Fire certificates are available upon request.
