Priming
Difficult substrates, such as facades that have been stripped, areas showing render repairs, structural differences and hairline cracks, can be repaired using a slurry prime coat.

Opaque Painting
Opaque painting on both smooth as well as rough finishes gives a mineral matt appearance compatible with original finishes.

 |
Translucent Finish
The translucent effect maintains and highlights the color and structure of the substrate. Architectural details of a facade can be highlighted using this technique.

Special Painting Techniques
Silicate paints can be used to imitate marble and other natural stones. This is shown in die marbling at the Old Museum in Berlin (photo below) achieved using KEIM-Purkristalat.

Historic Design Detailing
Architectural ornamentation, for example columns, can be perfectly imitative with KEIM mineral paints. This kind of decoration can be painted on historical and modern building structures and has excellent resistance against weathering and pollution. The use of KEIM mineral paints assures that the single elements of the building structure appear as a harmonious unity in terms of building material and structural details.

Mural Painting
The restoration sector is not the only field of application for KEIM mineral paints. Large trompe l'oeil murals such as the Hilton Hotel Fontainbleau/Miami give an idea of the range of different applications using the silicate technique.
