KEIM ROMANIT system

Lime coatings have been used by people for hundreds of years in order to protect and decorate buildings and interiors, of which many monumental structures of the past show evidence that can still be seen today. Lime coatings have a very particular appearance – the intensive brilliance and the interesting, lively cloudiness of the coatings are what give it its very special look.

KEIM Romanit sets itself apart in that it uses slaked lime that has been stored for at least three years as the binding material, and the purest and best quality raw materials. 

KEIM Romanit is characterised in particular by the use of lime putty aged for at least 3 years as a binding agent and the use of the purest, finest raw materials. A valuable gift from nature for ecologically sophisticated building!

With KEIM Romanit, KEIMFARBEN offers a range of harmonised lime products, clearly bundled in a ‘modular system’. Authentic, true to the original and practical, the modular system offers a range of individual products that fulfil the individual requirements of the restorer and the specific demands of monument conservation, thus enabling object-related, true-to-original coating solutions. The demand for the preservation of historical originals in the conservation of listed buildings and the use of materials that are true to the original requires transparency and clarity. This demand requires products whose performance and characteristics are as clear, honest and unadulterated as those of their originals. Lime as a binding agent has its own very special aesthetic. Lime paints are characterised by brilliance and lively cloudiness, not spotless uniformity and uniformity. This applies to both new and weathered, aged paint surfaces. The accelerated ageing process of lime paints compared to modern paint systems is characteristic from the point of view of authenticity.
