KEIM exterior insulation systems

Buildings are among the biggest energy users. Poorly insulated facades, or facades with no insulation whatsoever, are responsible for up to 40 % of energy loss. Nice and warm during the winter, pleasantly cool during the summer. In a well-insulated house, a healthy and balanced climate exists all year round. In cold weather, the temperature on the inside of uninsulated exterior walls falls significantly: we not only feel the "draught", but there is also the danger of mould forming. This effect can be prevented with heat insulation, meaning that you can enjoy a cosy feeling and healthy room climate throughout the entire year.

Sustainable building is a commitment of today's generations to secure a future worth living for following generations. Optimal thermal protection with KEIM ETICS systems stands for sustainable energy savings and active environmental protection.

• Protects and saves the existing building fabric
• Creates a comfortable and healthy living environment
• Increases the value of the property
• Ensures affordable housing

Careful craftsmanship of the external insulation systems is the most effective way to reduce the energy consumption of a building. KEIM offers professional systems for professional processors! The long service life of the mineral products proves to be particularly economical for the client. A wide range of mineral colours, absolutely UV-stable and brilliant shades, various plaster structures, traditional and lively colourewashes and classic facade profiles.

Mineral systems are open to diffusion, which allows sufficient moisture balance to take place over the entire wall. The moisture that has penetrated from the masonry can escape again in this way. If diffusion is not ensured, the insulation system can become damp and this can lead to a deterioration of the insulation effect and considerable damage. With KEIM thermal insulation systems you are on the safe side here.

Errors in execution lead to thermal bridges. Thermal bridges are areas where more heat is locally dissipated than on the surrounding surfaces. This promotes the formation of mould.

Biocides are often used to protect against algae and fungi. As biocides are water-soluble, they are washed out with the rain and thus not only become ineffective, but also enter our environment via rainwater. The KEIM AquaRoyal system ensures a minimised risk of algae and fungi due to a new system technology with its hydroactive and biocide-free characteristics.
