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 Jeddah are engineered fabric roofs and canopies designed to provide lightweight, long-span coverage for plazas, car parks, stadiums and walkways. Specified for owners, architects and facility managers, these systems cut direct solar gain while creating an architectural identity — a practical shade solution that copes with Jeddah's intense UV and occasional high winds.
CI Shade designs, engineers and delivers these systems across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain from an 8,000 m² production facility. We produce stamped engineering calculations (120–175 kph wind loads), CAD and SolidWorks shop drawings, then fabricate off-site before site installation and handover.
They are lightweight, fast to install and flexible in form. More importantly for Jeddah, membrane roofs reflect heat and reduce ambient temperature under the canopy — PVDF-coated PVC, PVDF and HDPE options deliver measurable solar reduction while lasting decades with routine care. CI Shade pairs material science with Gulf-tested engineering to keep structures performing through sand, salt and UV exposure.
We design membranes and frames to withstand 120–175 kph wind load cases used across the GCC. Fabrics such as PVDF-coated PVC and PTFE offer high UV stability and a self-cleaning surface that sheds dust and sand. You get a specified U-value or solar reflectance figure at tender stage, and an engineer-stamped calculation that holds up at site handover.
CI Shade engineers each project in-house using CAD and SolidWorks, then produces fabric patterning and shop drawings for precision fabrication. We work with architects from concept through value-engineering, produce Gulf-stamped calculations when required, and co-ordinate with MEP and civil teams so the final envelope integrates with structure and services.
Architectural membrane structures Jeddah are suitable wherever shade, large clear spans or sculptural rooflines are needed. They suit masterplans that demand fast delivery without heavy superstructure.
We deliver engineer-stamped calculations to local code and client requirements, including wind-load scenarios up to 175 kph. That paperwork reduces risk at procurement and satisfies project assurance checks on complex sites.
Manufacturing happens in our 8,000 m² facility under ISO processes. Off-site fabrication shortens on-site programme, improves quality control and gives clients predictable delivery windows — useful when managing multiple contractor interfaces in Jeddah.
Typical membrane choices are PVDF-coated PVC, PTFE-PTFE laminated fabrics, HDPE knitted shade cloth and ETFE cushions for high-light applications. Steel sub-frames use S355 grade with hot-dip galvanizing or duplex paint systems specified for coastal corrosion. CI Shade follows a clear process: site survey, structural and ECP checks, detailed drawings, off-site fabrication, certified installation and post-installation inspection.
Expect a PVDF membrane life of 15–20 years with standard maintenance; PTFE systems go longer but cost more initially. We provide maintenance schedules, repair patches and annual inspections. For large clients we offer service contracts that cover cleaning, tension checks and warranty claims — practical, because the Gulf climate accelerates soiling and wear if left unchecked.
