Hasn’t the warmer weather been fantastic this week? It’s the perfect time to step outside, take a look at your property’s exterior, and ask yourself—could it do with a fresh new look this season?

Refresh Your Exterior Walls with KEIM Mineral Paints

If your exterior walls are ready for a refresh, KEIM mineral paints offer the ideal solution. Combining sustainability with outstanding long-term performance, KEIM provides durable, breathable exterior finishes in a wide range of beautiful colours to complement every style of property.

Unlike conventional masonry paints that simply sit on the surface, KEIM’s advanced silicate paint systems chemically bond with mineral substrates, creating a permanent, fade-resistant finish that becomes part of the wall itself. This makes them the perfect choice for both historic buildings and modern masonry projects.

Why Choose KEIM Silicate Paint Systems?

• Permanent Chemical Bond
  Using a process known as silicification, the potassium silicate binder fuses with the surface to create an exceptionally durable, insoluble finish that won’t peel or flake.
• Exceptional Breathability
  Highly vapour-permeable, KEIM allows trapped moisture to escape naturally—helping to prevent damp, condensation, and costly freeze-thaw damage.
• Naturally Resistant to Mould & Algae
  Its naturally high alkalinity creates an environment where mould, fungi, and algae struggle to develop, keeping surfaces cleaner for longer.
• Eco-Friendly & Long Lasting
  Made from natural mineral ingredients, KEIM is a sustainable choice that delivers beautiful results with exceptional longevity.

Project Spotlight: Cribarth Furnishings & Development, Builth Wells

This impressive exterior project by Cribarth Furnishings & Development showcases the outstanding performance of the KEIM Soldalit system, delivering a durable, breathable, and beautifully long-lasting masonry finish.

To achieve this high-performance exterior coating, the following products were used:

KEIM Soldalit Fixativ
Used as a binding primer, either neat or diluted with Soldalit paint, Fixativ stabilises highly absorbent surfaces and creates a solid foundation for subsequent coats.

KEIM Soldalit Grob
Acting as both primer and filler, Soldalit Grob bridges fine hairline cracks and smooths uneven surfaces, ensuring the ideal base for the final finish coat.

KEIM Soldalit
A premium mineral paint combining silica sol and potassium silicate to create a highly durable, UV-resistant, and lightfast finish. Suitable for mineral, organic, and mixed substrates, it offers excellent weather resistance and enhanced condensation control for long-lasting exterior protection.

The result is a breathable, weather-resistant finish designed to protect and enhance exterior masonry for decades to come.

This season, give your exterior the protection and refresh it deserves—with a finish built to last for decades, not just years.
