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, durable, and beautiful for years to come. That’s where KEIM mineral paints are different.

A Paint That Breathes
Unlike conventional acrylic paints, which form a plastic film over your walls, KEIM mineral paints are vapour permeable. That means your walls can “breathe”, allowing moisture to escape naturally. The result? A healthier home environment, with less risk of damp or mould.
Colours That Last
Australian light can be harsh, and many paints fade under strong UV exposure. KEIM mineral paints are made with pure mineral pigments that are 100% lightfast. Your chosen colours stay vibrant and true—decade after decade.
Better for People and Planet
KEIM mineral paints contain no solvents, no biocides, no plasticisers, and zero VOCs. They’re also Cradle to Cradle Certified®, which means they meet the world’s highest standards for sustainability. Safe for your family, safe for the environment.
Built to Endure
Thanks to a natural process called silicification, KEIM paints don’t just sit on the surface—they form a strong chemical bond with mineral substrates like render, stone, and concrete. That makes them exceptionally resistant to peeling, blistering, and weathering. In practical terms, it means far fewer repaints over the life of your home.
Naturally Beautiful
KEIM paints have a distinctive mineral matt finish that feels timeless and natural. It’s a look you simply can’t achieve with acrylics, and it brings out the character of any home, from heritage facades to modern architecture.
