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.
Acrylic shade installation Makkah refers to supplying and fitting acrylic fabric canopies and fixed acrylic roofing systems tailored for the climate and regulations of Makkah and the surrounding Western Region. Architects, contractors and facility managers specify acrylic where clarity, light diffusion and corrosion resistance matter; this is common at walkways, mosque courtyards, retail arcades and government compounds. CI Shade delivers the full package: design, stamped engineering, off-site fabrication and on-site installation to meet project schedules.
With more than two decades of experience across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, CI Shade combines Gulf-stamped calculations, ISO standards and site-tested detailing. We work with architects and contractors from concept sketches to handover, keeping documentation and quality control in-house to reduce surprises.
Acrylic performs where long-term optical clarity and resistance to yellowing are required. It resists UV degradation better than ordinary plastics, and with the right surface treatments it keeps colour and light transmission stable for years. That matters in Makkah where intense sun, dust and periodic high winds combine to accelerate wear on inferior materials.
CI Shade engineers acrylic shade installations to handle local loads. We produce stamped calculations for wind and dead loads and design steel subframes with appropriate galvanising or paint systems for a saline, sandy environment. Expect designs rated to Gulf wind criteria; our workflow factors in wind uplift, sand abrasion and thermal expansion so the canopy does not deform or flap under full-season conditions.
We use CAD and SolidWorks for 3D modelling, and develop fabric and panel patterns that fit the supporting steel precisely. That reduces site rework. Shop drawings, construction details and client review cycles happen before the first bolt goes to site; CI Shade issues Gulf-stamped engineering to meet procurement and permitting needs.
Acrylic shade installation Makkah suits a wide range of projects. It gives architects control over light and form while owners get a weather-resistant canopy that is straightforward to maintain.
We deliver stamped structural calculations for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and local authorities. That includes wind and seismic load work-up, connection details and fabrication drawings — all signed by our in-house engineers.
Production happens in our 8,000 m² facility using controlled processes to cut, thermoform and bond acrylic panels and assemble steel subframes. The controlled environment reduces dust contamination and improves finish quality.
Acrylic panels and sheets come in various grades; we select UV-stable, UV-inhibited acrylic specified for exterior glazing. For frames we use hot-dip galvanised or epoxy-primed and top-coated steel, depending on client preference and exposure. Jointing uses compatible sealants and stainless-steel fixings to avoid galvanic issues. Where translucency is required we size panels and fixings to allow thermal movement without stress.
Acrylic systems require routine cleaning to maintain optical clarity — typically a soft rinse and pH-neutral detergent. Panels resist yellowing better than generic plastics, but heavy abrasion from sand will wear the outer skin over many years. Warranties vary by material supplier; CI Shade offers maintenance programmes and can inspect sealing and fixings annually to protect long-term performance.
