Choice International Shade (CI Shade) - the Gulf Region's leading experts in high-quality tensile and structural shading solutions. Based in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
An acrylic canopy is a structural canopy that uses acrylic glazing (PMMA) panels combined with engineered steel or aluminium framing to provide sheltered, daylight-permitting cover. For architects, contractors and facilities teams in Madinah looking for weather-resistant, visually clear shading, an acrylic canopy offers controlled light transmission, good impact resistance and long-term clarity when specified correctly. Our position as an acrylic canopy supplier Madinah means CI Shade supplies full project services from specification to handed-over installation.
CI Shade has 23+ years in Gulf-region shading and an 8,000 m² production footprint in KSA and Bahrain. We deliver Gulf-stamped calculations (120–175 kph wind load capability), ISO-certified processes and Aramco-approved quality for public, commercial and residential work across Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
The value is in the details. We engineer canopies to perform under intense UV, sand exposure and high wind loads common to the region. Acrylic glazing keeps natural light while blocking harmful UV; combined with powder-coated steel frames and careful drainage design, the assemblies minimise maintenance and extend service life. Choosing a supplier who understands Gulf specifics—materials, connections, and certification—avoids rework and cost overruns on site.
Acrylic (PMMA) has high light transmission and better UV stability than many plastics when UV-stabilised grades are used. CI Shade engineers each canopy to meet stamped wind loads between 120–175 kph as required by project class. We design flashing, gullies and fixings to resist sand ingress and to prevent ponding — small details that determine whether a canopy lasts a decade or five.
CAD and SolidWorks are standard tools in our workshop. We produce shop drawings, 3D formwork details, CNC-cut patterns and fabrications lists so site teams install without guesswork. Stamped calculations, BIM-friendly drawings and on-site lifting plans are available on request. Work with our engineers early and you get value engineering that trims cost without compromising structural safety.
Acrylic canopies serve many uses where light, durability and refined aesthetics matter. CI Shade supplies to architects, contractors and developers for these typical applications:
We produce stamped structural calculations to local codes and project-class wind loads (typically 120–175 kph). That means the canopy arrives on site with fabrication-ready details, certified by our engineering team and ready for client approval.
CI Shade manufactures in an 8,000 m² facility and follows ISO-controlled quality systems. Combined with Aramco-approved workflows and experienced installers, we handle projects from small retail canopies to multi-span covered walkways.
Acrylic sheet options, aluminium or hot-dip galvanised steel frames, and protective coatings are specified per project. We use UV-stabilised PMMA for glazing, polyester powder coat or duplex systems for metalwork and marine-grade fixings where required. Our step-by-step process: site survey, detailed design and shop drawings, off-site fabrication, delivery, certified installation and handover with maintenance recommendations.
Acrylic canopies require periodic cleaning to maintain light transmission; scratches can be buffed and polished in many cases. With the right grade and correct mounting details, expected visual service life is measured in years rather than seasons. CI Shade provides maintenance contracts and warranty support to match the client’s operating needs.
