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.
Architectural membrane structures are engineered fabric shelters that combine tensile membranes and steel framing to create covered spaces. For clients in Dammam and across the Eastern Province the phrase architectural membrane structures Dammam describes purpose-built designs — carparks, walkways, stadia canopies and shaded public plazas. These systems reduce solar gain and provide weather protection while allowing expressive, lightweight forms.
CI Shade designs, manufactures and installs these systems from its Gulf workshops. We handle CAD patterning, stamped engineering and on-site installation for Saudi Arabia and Bahrain projects, backed by ISO accreditation and Aramco approvals where required.
They deliver a high shade-to-weight ratio and a long service life when specified correctly. CI Shade engineers each structure for Gulf conditions: high UV, sand-laden winds and occasional storm gusts. The result is a tailored solution that balances aesthetics, lifecycle cost and practical maintenance.
We specify membranes and frames to resist intense UV and salt-laden air. Wind-load calculations are stamped for local authorities with design ranges commonly between 120–175 kph depending on the site. The membranes we recommend — PVDF-coated PVC or PTFE where required — offer proven UV stability and a self-cleaning surface that slows soiling.
CI Shade uses SolidWorks and advanced CAD patterning to translate concept into manufacture-ready panels. We supply full shop drawings, CNC-cut membrane panels and fabrication details. That means fewer surprises on site and faster, quality-controlled installation from our 8,000 m² production facility.
Architectural membrane structures in Dammam suit projects where shade, rapid delivery and a distinctive look are priorities. Architects and developers use them to reduce HVAC loads and to create memorable public spaces.
We provide stamped calculations for local approvals and value-engineer connections to meet site-specific wind and seismic criteria. Drawings arrive ready for client review and authority submission.
Off-site fabrication in our 8,000 m² facility cuts on-site labour and improves quality control. CNC panel cutting and controlled welding produce repeatable results and faster construction programmes.
We work with PVC and PVDF-coated fabrics, HDPE for low-cost screening and PTFE or ETFE where translucency and long-term life are priorities. Steelwork is typically hot-dip galvanised to S275 or S355 spec and can receive extra paint or powder-coat depending on coastal exposure. The typical project flow moves from site survey to concept, then to engineering, fabrication and controlled installation.
Properly specified PVDF membranes can offer a 15–20 year service life with routine inspection and occasional cleaning. CI Shade provides maintenance programmes and warranty support. We document access points and replacement procedures in the close-out package so facility managers know what to expect.
