Case Studies

When we talk about sustainable architecture, the conversation often centres around energy performance, operational efficiency and certifications. Important, yes. But increasingly, attention is shifting to something more fundamental. The materials themselves.

KEIM’s innovative COOLIT® paint is engineered to reduce heat absorption, resulting in cooler surfaces. As our cities heat up, the way we design and finish buildings matters more than ever. Materials are no longer just aesthetic decisions. They directly influence thermal performance, energy use and long-term durability. COOLIT® by KEIM is a mineral paint engineered with this in mind. It is designed to reduce heat absorption at the surface level, helping buildings stay cooler,

When we think about paint, colour is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But modern mineral paints go far beyond aesthetics. Backed by decades of scientific research, mineral coatings actively protect buildings, improve durability, and even contribute to healthier environments. So what makes mineral paint different? Let’s break down the science behind the surface. Actively Cleans the Air One of the most remarkable properties of advanced mineral paints is their photoca

That’s where KEIM Concretal-Lasur comes in. This mineral-based stain is designed to enhance, unify, and colour-match concrete surfaces, ensuring that every wall, façade, or slab looks as good as it performs.

Fresh mineral paint has a high pH, which creates an environment where mould and mildew simply don’t like to grow. There are no organic binders for mould to feed on (unlike acrylic or vinyl paints). KEIM allows moisture vapour to pass through the wall instead of trapping it, which dramatically reduces condensation — one of the main causes of mould. The resistance is inherent, not reliant on chemical additives that can wear off over time.

How to Mix Concretal-Lasur for the Right Opacity Concretal-Lasur is a mineral stain designed to enhance concrete surfaces without masking their natural character. Because it works as a translucent system, correct mixing is essential to achieving the desired finish. Concretal-Lasur is supplied in two components: Part A – the pigment Part B – the fixative By adjusting the ratio of pigment to fixative, you can control the opacity of the final result, from subtle tonal variatio

Painting bricks with KEIM will preserve the brick's natural benefit.

When it comes to painting your home, it’s not just about colour, it’s about choosing the right kind of paint for a finish that’s healthy,...
