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 Madinah are engineered tensile systems that use coated fabrics and steel to create shaded, covered spaces — often sculptural, always functional. Architects, contractors and facility managers specify them for carparks, walkways, sports facilities and public plazas where sun, heat and sand demand a durable, low-maintenance solution. The primary materials are PVDF- or PVC-coated membranes, supported by hot-dip galvanised or painted steel frames and tensioned with precision.
CI Shade supplies full-service delivery across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, with Gulf-stamped engineering and Aramco-approved processes. We design, fabricate and install from our 8,000 m² production facility and manage everything from initial CAD concepts to handover and maintenance.
Because the Gulf climate is unforgiving. Architectural membrane structures Madinah reduce solar gain, resist prolonged UV exposure and shed sand. They also give architects freedom to craft canopies and curved roofs that are lighter and faster to install than conventional roofing. CI Shade pairs practical performance with precise engineering so the result is both attractive and buildable.
We design to meet local environmental loads — wind ratings commonly between 120–175 kph depending on site class — and specify coatings that withstand UV and salt-laden air. Choosing PVDF-coated membranes preserves colour and finish; HDPE is an option where high breathability and low cost are priorities. The structural steel is detailed for fatigue resistance and access for maintenance.
CI Shade engineers every project in-house using CAD and SolidWorks for form-finding and fabric patterning. We produce Gulf-stamped calculations, shop drawings and fabrication files so the submittal package is construction-ready. Clients keep control of aesthetics and budget while we convert the design into precise cutting files and erection drawings.
Architectural membrane structures Madinah are versatile — they work where shading, lightweight coverage or signature architecture is required. Typical deployments include:
We deliver stamped engineering packages tuned to local codes and project class. That includes wind and uplift checks, connection design and CNC-ready patterning so fabrication and site erection proceed without guesswork.
With an 8,000 m² production facility in the region we manufacture off-site to tight tolerances and control finish quality. The result is quicker site schedules and predictable outcomes — especially on larger projects.
We specify materials that suit the application: PVDF-coated PVC for long colour life and easy cleaning; PTFE or ETFE for high-transparency architectural roofs; HDPE knitted fabric for cost-effective shade sails. Steelwork is hot-dip galvanised to SANS/ASTM equivalents and can be painted to specified RAL colours. CI Shade follows a disciplined process: site survey → form-finding → stamped calculations → off-site manufacture → certified installation → warranty handover.
Membrane life depends on material and environment. PVDF membranes regularly deliver 15–20 years of service with routine inspections and occasional wash-downs. We offer maintenance programmes and post-installation inspections so owners get predictable lifecycle costs. Warranties and Aramco/ISO-compliant documentation are supplied on every project.
