Introducing the ‘two in one’ paint system from KEIM that speeds up application time, reduces the requirement for drying between coats, and…. ideal for our more unpredictable climes, can be applied in shorter weather windows.
This is the latest paint system to be launched in the UK by mineral paint experts KEIM. Twinstar is the first exterior paint system that delivers a 2-in-1 coating for faster application with no drying time between coats; simply mix, apply using a roller, brush or airless sprayer, and repeat; applying ‘wet on wet’ with no waiting, no drying time; two coats in one work step.
What are the outstanding properties of our new exterior paint, KEIM Twinstar?
KEIM Twinstar is the first masonry paint system in the world where two coats can be applied in a single operation, and the latest in a line of products with sustainability at their core. Designed to cater for the changing nature of work and help to overcome labour shortages and the smaller pool of skilled workforce, KEIM Twinstar enables contractors, decorators or indeed homeowners to effectively resource for maximum efficiency.
Vanessa Fox, Commercial Manager helps to explain, ‘Time is the one factor we can’t alter, but we can maximise it! With the ability to apply two coats in one operation, this significantly reduces labour and scaffold / access costs, and minimises disruptions such as road and building closures.’
What benefit does KEIM Twinstar offer to decorators, contractors, or homeowners?
KEIM Twinstar is the first exterior system in the world where two coats can be applied in a single operation. There is no need for drying time between applying the first and second coat saving a complete work step.
In addition, an intelligent active principle protects from growth of microorganisms without the addition of biocides, keeping facades cleaner for longer.
How easy is KEIM Twinstar to apply?
KEIM Twinstar is supplied ready to use, straight from the bucket. Apply using a roller, brush, or airless sprayer.
Does KEIM Twinstar feature the same eco-friendly qualities as the rest of the portfolio?
It certainly does! Here are just some of them;
- Provides reliable protection against fouling without the addition of biocides
- Its water vapour permeability allows painted surfaces to breathe
- Offers protection from frost and water damage
- Its antistatic, non-thermoplastic behaviour reduces dust and dirt attraction
- It won’t become brittle with age or peel
- Colour UV stable

How colour-stable and economical is KEIM Twinstar?
As with our other exterior paint systems, KEIM Twinstar is colour stable. Colours will remain as fresh as the day they were painted… for years. Unlike conventional exterior paints, using KEIM Twinstar means surfaces won’t need re-painting after 10 or 12 years. Think of the cost savings, not just for purchase of the paint, but labour, scaffolding, and equipment too!
What about colour / shade availability?
KEIM Twinstar is available in white as well as in all common colour tone collections. Get in touch to find out more.
Has KEIM Twinstar been accredited or certified?

KEIM Twinstar is also non-combustible / fire resistant, with classification A2-s1, d0, making it particularly pertinent for residential buildings over 11 metres in height.
