k e i m – sust a i n a b l e col o u r s 13 KEIM. UNIQUELY LONG LIFE – UNIQUELY ECONOMICAL. "Quality takes priority. This means that we link this to a long-term time perspective in terms of product life, economic efficiency and customer satisfaction." VISIONARY ACTION Anyone who builds or renovates thinks and calculates in terms of decades. Economic efficiency increases with the longevity of an investment. Considering the life cycle costs of a building shows this very clearly: About 80 % of the costs generated during use are for things like maintenance and repairs. LIFE CYCLE COSTS OF A BUILDING Planning (2%) Construction (3%) Demolition (15%) Utilisation (80%) Town hall Schwyz, original painting from 1891 ECONOMICALLY This means that the choice of building materials should not be based on short-term financial benefits, but on the stability of value and quality over the entire service life of a building. A simple calculation that also includes the façade: Longer renovation cycles lower maintenance costs. This makes the choice of coating system a key factor. KEIM mineral paints are proving to be really cost-saving here. A facade coating should last at least 20 years – for KEIM paints this is not a big challenge, they can easily double the service life. Even hundred-year-old coatings are not uncommon. In contrast to dispersions, as the binding agent water glass does not incorporate colour pigments in a film. Instead the rays of light hit the pigment directly. The colours shine directly from the matt velvet surface and show an astonishing, lasting depth and brilliance. Facades do not fade, but remain unchanged for decades. SUSTAINABLE GUARANTEED COLOUR STABILITY The optimum combination of liquid potassium silicate as the binding agent, mineral fillers from natural sources and inorganic colour pigments ensures maximum weather resistance and unsurpassed durability.
