Mineral paints in historic buildings and large-scale contemporary architecture
The company KEIM FARBY MINERALNE Sp. z o.o. is a German manufacturer of mineral paints, known for its prestigious historical buildings and bold contemporary architecture projects. KEIM silicate paints are valued primarily on facades - for their long-term durability, measured in decades, and in interiors - for their healthy microclimate. The company's motto is the credo "KEIM. PAINTS FOR EVER" which best reflects the durability of the products offered by the company.
KEIM company history
The company's origins date back to the late 19th century., when Bavarian craftsman A.W. Keim was the first to develop and patent silicate paints. Since then, KEIM has consistently developed successive generations of this group of paints, and since 1996 has been present on the Polish market.

KEIM semi-transparent mineral paints in contemporary architecture
KEIM silicate paints have also found use on contemporary buildings. In addition to traditional opaque paints, semi-transparent architectural concrete paints are particularly popular, allowing the surface of concrete to be integrated (unified) or colored while maintaining its natural appearance. Some of the most famous buildings in the world include the Sydney Opera House, the Aquatics Centre in London, the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and the Chancellor's Office in Berlin. In Poland, too, these paints have been used in projects such as the Nobu Hotel in Warsaw, CKK Jordanki in Toruń, V LO and Concordia Design in Wroclaw.
KEIM mineral metallic paints
The latest novelty is mineral paints in metallic shades, which allow you to give your facade a unique look. KEIM's offer is complemented by plasters, mortars and many auxiliary agents.
