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.
We offer a wide array of fabric options from top international manufacturers, running the gamut from silicon-coated woven glass fabric to architectural-grade PVC and PVDF membranes. Our materials promise longer life and better performance than standard alternatives.
Versatile and cost-effective solution for commercial shade structures
| Weight Range: | 300 to 1100 gsm |
| Tensile Strength: | 4300/4000 N/5cm (DIN EN ISO 1421/V1) |
| Tear Strength: | 500/500 N (DIN 53363) |
| Temperature Range: | -30°C to +70°C |

Used for tensile structures, canopies, and sails covering both large commercial areas and residential patios.
Popular choice for parking shade structures due to its strength and waterproofing capabilities.
Awnings, truck covers, and certain types of blinds and outdoor covers.
Premium material for large-scale architectural projects
PVDF fabric material is a composite material formed by coating PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resin on polyester fiber base cloth and spraying PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) surface coating. This premium material is produced for architectural and commercial use by leading manufacturers like French Ferrari and German Heytex.
Stadiums, airports, and canopies requiring superior durability and aesthetics.
High-strength PVDF membrane covers for premium vehicle shelters.
Durable and low-maintenance solutions for restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces.
Breathable shade solution for sports and recreational applications
HDPE fabric is made from 100% monofilament HDPE yarn, making it lightweight yet strong. It's ideal for applications where breathability is more important than being waterproof. This woven mesh fabric is incredibly strong, lightweight, and manufactured to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions.
Providing shade for spectators and athletes while ensuring UV protection during events.
Safe and breathable shade for children's play areas and recreational spaces.
HDPE fabric wall and fence shades for privacy, wind protection, and boundary definition.
Solution-dyed fabric with superior fade resistance
| Composition: | 100% Fiber Acrylic |
| Weight: | 290 g/m² |
| Width: | 120 cm |
| Length: | 60 m |
| Finish: | Anti-stain, Rot-proof, Water-resistant |
| Guarantee: | 5 years manufacturer warranty |
Acrylic shade fabric is a durable, weather-resistant synthetic material solution-dyed during manufacturing, resulting in superior fade resistance to UV rays. It's treated to be water-repellent and mildew-resistant for long-lasting outdoor performance.
Ideal for retractable awnings and fixed canopies, providing sun protection and cooling.
Perfect for creating sun sails and patio umbrellas with excellent UV protection.
Lightweight, transparent fluoropolymer for innovative architectural projects
ETFE is a clear fluoropolymer material known for its exceptional properties. It is a lightweight and highly durable material that offers several advantages in different applications. ETFE is widely used in building, construction and engineering projects due to its excellent performance characteristics.
ETFE is a highly transparent extruded film that can be used as a single layer film or as a multi-layer pneumatic inflatable cushion. The material has good UV stability as well as chemical and heat resistance. Weighing only 1% of the weight of glass, this material is revolutionizing the construction industry, allowing us to build structures that were previously unimaginable.
ETFE can be used as a single layer membrane and tensioned with wire rope, lightweight steel or aluminum to maintain shape and stability.
Aerodynamic pads are created in two or more layers, then connected using aluminum extrusions and supported by a lightweight structure. Filled with low-pressure air, these pads provide insulation and structural stability to resist wind or snow loads.
Large-span roofing systems, skylights, atriums, stadiums, and innovative architectural projects requiring maximum natural light transmission.
Premium fiberglass membrane with exceptional durability and performance
PTFE is a high-quality fiberglass woven membrane that is an ideal fabric for tensile membrane structures. PTFE fabric is high quality, weather-resistant, fire-resistant, UV-resistant, and extremely durable. The Teflon coating creates a smooth surface that allows the fabric to be "flushed" by rainwater, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
The membrane exhibits elasticity under normal conditions and will not creep or stress relax, with a life expectancy of over 30 years and a standard PTFE warranty of 12-15 years.
| Temperature Range: | -70°C to +230°C |
| Solar Reflectivity: | Up to 80% |
| Solar Absorption: | 8-14% |
| Light Transmission: | Up to 12% |
| Life Expectancy: | 30+ years |
| Warranty: | 12-15 years |
Stadiums, commercial centers, airports, railway stations, and amphitheaters.
Ideal for sunshade structures due to high solar reflectivity and heat resistance.
