Who are KEIM?

Believe it or not, KEIM have been handcrafting eco friendly paint since 1878!

Mineral, sustainable, breathable paint is not a new phenomenon, although there has been a recent surge in the number of mineral paint suppliers in the UK, following a consumer demand for more sustainable products.

KEIM is not a one paint product company. We have products for decorating interiors, and exteriors but also products that help overcome specific niche needs such as paints that are designed for extreme climate conditions e.g., coastal, or where projects require an exceptionally quick turnaround and re-occupancy where our true one coat paint is ideal.

KEIM products differ from petrol chemical-based paints as they penetrate and chemically bond with the mineral substrates (rather than just coating) onto which they are applied, becoming part of the surface.

KEIM Mineral Paints are natural, water-borne liquid silicate paints which produce extremely durable, colour fast and protective coatings with high vapour permeability, which work in harmony with the environment.

KEIM products allow the painted surface and substrate to breathe. They only have a trace of VOC, are virtually odourless, exceptionally durable, light reflecting, non-fade, and UV stable too!

At KEIM we offer the whole customer service – advising and supply to contractors, decorators, and private individuals, specifying via architects and designers for projects that range from churches to coastal, heritage to high rise. We conduct no obligation site surveys across the whole of UK, product trials, sample pots, CPDs and colour charts.

At KEIM we have one mission; to manufacture and develop eco-friendly mineral paints and finishes that stand the test of time. With a heritage that dates back to 1878, we use only the finest natural ingredients to produce eco-friendly paint products that are kind to you, and care for the environment.

Our range of interior and exterior paints, colourwashes, clay lime plaster, renders, and finishes have been designed for use on most brickworks, stone, renders and glass, with properties that make them the perfect product for coastal locations to overcome harsh climatic conditions, and inner-city buildings to absorb gases and pollutants.

Innostar, our one coat application is ideal for fast turnaround projects in the home or the office, with colourwashes, concrete and metallic finishes available for those more niche projects.
