Five good reasons
Five good reasons for choosing a KEIM Thermal Insulation Composite System: 1. Heat insulation 2. Environmental protection 3. Fire safety 4. Moisture proofing 5. Protection of value 1. Heat insulation Thermal insulation in brief • Comfortable temperature • Savings on heating costs • Warm in winter • Cool in summer Optimum indoor temperature in both summer and winter Indoor comfort calls for a pleasant and healthy indoor temperature. When the weather is cold, if exterior walls have no insulation, the temperature of the interior wall surfaces falls dramatically. This leads to unpleasant air circulation, which we experience as draughts, and also to cold interior walls that are susceptible to condensation and the formation of mould. KEIM thermal insulation keeps the temperature of the interior wall surfaces at the same level as the room temperature. The result: Comfortable temperature and cosy heat with lower energy expenditure and therefore lower heating costs! However, a building should not only be well insulated against the cold, but also against the heat in summer. Mineral insulating materials make it possible to achieve balanced and comfortable temperatures all year round. Nice and warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer. KEIM thermal insulation means a considerable gain in terms of quality of life within your own four walls at any time of the year. 4

Environmental protection ETICS reduce CO 2 emissions and save resources Greenhouse effect as a result of CO 2 emissions, scarcity of resources, environmentally worthwhile action is essential and vital for our survival. Protection of the environment must also play a crucial role in building and renovation work. Dealing responsibly with our energy resources begins inside our own four walls. Along with the saving of heat energy, the reduction of CO 2 emissions is a particular goal. A KEIM thermal insulation composite system optimises the respective thermal insulation method using environmentally efficient and particularly durable building materials. Sustainable building and renovation work also includes the life cycle of the building materials used, their manufacture, application, use and their removal and disposal respectively. People who insulate their houses in the best possible way save precious energy on a daily basis, thus making a crucial contribution towards protecting both environment and climate. Protection of the environment in brief • Climate protection • Protection of resources • No toxic substances • Ecological KEIM ETICS – Protection and safety all in one ... 5
