k e i m – p a r t n e r for the housing industr y 3 KEIM – QUALITY THAT PAYS OFF BUILDING AND LIVING Home begins with your own four walls. Creating living space is an essential remit, particularly for the housing industry, with ecological, economical and also social aspects as the central challenges. KEIM supports you with sustainable product solutions and comprehensive services – competently, reliably and individually tailored to each project. That is real added value! ECOLOGICAL Ecological construction depends crucially on the choice of materials. Mineral products by KEIM are ecologically sound, free of emissions, offer optimum attributes in terms of construction physics and create the ideal prerequisites for a healthy room climate and genuine living quality. ECONOMICAL Cheap solutions can often be very expensive in the end. Particularly where construction is concerned, quality proves to be the better and more economical option in the long run. Here the timeline consists of decades not years, so that economic efficiency increases with the durability of the investment. And mineral paints by KEIM are unrivalled when it comes to durability. They prove to be real saving schemes with a long-term effect because they age gracefully with longer renovation intervals that protect the maintenance reserves.

SUSTAINABLE Sustainability is a topic that no-one in the construction industry can ignore. Construction material quality and the corresponding renovation intervals are valuable parameters for assessing genuine sustainability. Mineral products by KEIM protect the valuable, resource-intensive fabric of a building permanently from harmful environmental influences. 150% 100% Cost savings with KEIM silicate paint 50% KEIM silicate paint Ø life cycle per coating: 20 years Dispersion paint Ø life cycle per coating: 12 years REFERENCE: HUFEISENSIEDLUNG IN BERLIN In 2008, Bruno Taut‘s colourful „Hufeisensiedlung“ in Berlin-Britz was declared to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Constructed between 1925 and 1933, the estate was one of the first social housing projects in Germany. Since 2007, extensive renovation work has been carried out in close consultation with the monument protection authorities, consisting essentially in restoring the external appearance with the original colours and surface design using mineral paints by KEIM.
