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 roofs and façades that combine tensile membranes with steel frameworks to create shaded, ventilated and weather-protected spaces. CI Shade designs and installs architectural membrane structures Tabuk clients trust—projects for carparks, walkways, schools and public plazas that must stand up to intense UV, heat and occasional high winds.
We cover design, engineering, manufacturing and installation from our Gulf facilities and provide Gulf-stamped calculations for 120–175 kph wind loads. With 23+ years in the region, CI Shade works across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain on projects where durability and engineering precision matter.
They give you large, column‑free coverage with a fraction of the weight of conventional roofing. That matters in Tabuk where long spans, sun control and sand resistance are design drivers. CI Shade pairs membrane materials such as PVDF‑coated PVC and HDPE with structural steel sections sized for Gulf wind regimes, delivering predictable performance and lower life‑cycle cost.
We specify membranes with high UV stability and self-cleaning topcoats — PVDF membranes typically offer a 15–20 year service life depending on exposure. Steelwork is hot‑dip galvanised and can be PU‑coated for coastal projects. All designs reference 120–175 kph wind load capacity and account for thermal movement, sand abrasion and solar heat gain reduction.
CI Shade engineers the structure in CAD and SolidWorks, produces stamped calculations and fabric patterns, and issues shop drawings for fabrication. We collaborate with architects and MEP teams early to resolve penetration details, drainage and lighting. Value engineering happens on the drawing board, not on site—so budgets stay under control.
Architectural membrane structures Tabuk projects typically include shaded public spaces, transit shelters and institutional canopies. Their visual flexibility means you can get dramatic form without complex masonry or heavy steel.
We deliver stamped structural calculations for local authorities, including wind load reports set to 120–175 kph as required. That means fewer surprises at permitting and a clear path from concept to handover.
Manufacture happens in our 8,000 m² facility using CNC patterning and precision welding. Off‑site fabrication reduces on-site disruption and improves quality control on finish, welds and membrane seam integrity.
CI Shade uses a select palette: PVC with PVDF topcoat for long life and stain resistance, HDPE knitted shade fabrics for low-cost privacy screens, and specialist ETFE cushions where translucency and light transmission are required. Steel frames are Grade S355 or equivalent, hot‑dip galvanised, and bolted for rapid erection. Projects follow a stepwise process: site survey → concept → engineering → off‑site manufacture → installation → maintenance handover.
Membrane warranties vary by material and exposure; PVDF‑coated PVC often carries manufacturer warranties aligned to a 10–20 year expected performance window. Routine maintenance is straightforward: annual inspections, tension checks and periodic washings to remove grit and salt. CI Shade offers scheduled maintenance programmes and warranty support for all installations across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
