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.
PTFE roofing tensile Makkah refers to tensioned membrane roofing systems using PTFE-coated fiberglass fabrics tailored for the city's environment. Architects, contractors and facility managers specify these systems where long-span cover, daylighting control and a light structural footprint are priorities. The membranes stretch over steel frames to create roofs for mosques, transit canopies, shaded courtyards and sports stadia.
CI Shade engineers these systems from concept to handover across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. With 23+ years of experience, an 8,000 m² production facility and Aramco approval, we combine Gulf-stamped calculations with on-site installation teams that understand local wind, sun and sand exposure.
PTFE-coated fabrics offer unmatched longevity for Gulf climates: high UV stability, proven resistance to staining, and a clean white surface that reflects heat. That matters in Makkah where daytime solar loads and fine dust demand materials that keep their properties over decades. CI Shade supplies PTFE systems engineered to specified wind loads and to integrate with architectural finishes.
We design each PTFE roofing tensile system to handle wind pressures typical for KSA projects — engineers work with stamped calculations for 120–175 kph scenarios where required. The PTFE membrane resists UV degradation and thermal cycling better than many coated PVC alternatives, which reduces creep and the need for frequent retensioning. The result: a reliably stable roof that performs under intense sun and occasional sandstorms.
Design starts in CAD, moves into SolidWorks where connection details are modelled, and finishes with computer-cut fabric patterning. CI Shade prepares full shop drawings and fabric patterns, and we coordinate with structural consultants to ensure interfaces with existing steelwork. Clients see mock-ups, load reports and value-engineered options before fabrication begins.
PTFE roofing tensile systems suit long-span and iconic roof forms where daylight, airflow and visual lightness matter. Below are typical deployments we deliver across the region.
CI Shade produces stamped calculations for local authorities and can design to project-specific wind loads between 120–175 kph. All connection details are modelled and reviewed so the PTFE membrane works with the supporting steel, not against it.
Manufactured in our 8,000 m² facility, PTFE panels are CNC-cut and heat-welded where necessary. The controlled environment reduces on-site work and accelerates programmes — which keeps traffic disruption and site risk to a minimum.
PTFE-coated fiberglass is the primary membrane for these roofs; alternatives CI Shade supplies include PVDF-coated PVC and ETFE cushions where transparency is critical. Structural frames use hot-dip galvanised or painted structural steel sized per FEM/Eurocode practices and adjusted for GCC load cases. Finishes, drainage details and edge profiles are specified in the shop drawings so installers fit the membrane with intended pre-tension and curvature.
PTFE membranes typically show a service life measured in decades with routine inspections. Cleaning cycles are infrequent; occasional low-pressure washing removes dust and bird deposits. CI Shade offers maintenance programmes and warranty support, and we document access points and retensioning schedules at handover so facility teams can manage lifecycle costs effectively.
