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 tensile structures are membrane-based shading systems that use PTFE-coated glass-fibre fabric mounted on engineered steel frames. Architects, contractors and facility managers specifying ptfe tensile structures Madinah choose them for large-span canopies, atriums and covered public spaces where light diffusion, fire performance and low-maintenance are priorities. These systems work well in plazas, commercial courtyards and transit terminals across the Gulf because the material remains dimensionally stable under heat.
CI Shade designs and delivers PTFE projects across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain from concept through handover. We combine in-house CAD and SolidWorks detailing with Gulf-stamped engineering and an 8,000 m² production facility to ensure projects meet ISO and Aramco standards.
PTFE membranes offer architects a neutral, luminous surface that performs under Gulf conditions. The engineering side is handled in-house; that matters because Madinah projects routinely specify 120–175 kph wind load ratings and require stamped calculations for local approvals. CI Shade delivers the full package: tailored geometry, certified steelwork and factory-controlled membrane fabrication.
PTFE-coated glass-fibre resists UV degradation and maintains dimensional stability at high temperatures. That translates to predictable behaviour during seasonal thermal cycles and fewer tension adjustment visits. We design for sand, sun and occasional high winds, and we size connections and anchors to meet local code requirements and client risk tolerances.
We engineer every PTFE tensile structure using CAD and SolidWorks with full fabric patterning and CNC cutting files. Our workflow produces shop drawings and Gulf-stamped calculations so you don’t get surprises at permitting. Clients get iterative design reviews, value engineering options and coordination packages that integrate with structural and MEP documents.
PTFE tensile structures are used where long spans, daylighting and fire performance matter. They also make sense where maintenance access is limited but architectural intent is high.
CI Shade produces stamped engineering calculations for wind, uplift and connection design — typically in the 120–175 kph wind range requested by Gulf clients. We coordinate steel and membrane interfaces to reduce RFI cycles on site.
Our 8,000 m² production facility fabricates PTFE membranes with precision patterning and certified welding. Off-site fabrication shortens on-site program time and improves QA compared with ad-hoc on-site workflows.
CI Shade works with PTFE-coated glass-fibre alongside other fabrics (PVC, PVDF, HDPE, ETFE) depending on the brief. Steelwork is specified to suit the project: hot-dip galvanised or painted structural sections with bespoke brackets and turnbuckle adjustment at membrane corners. Our standard delivery sequence is site survey, conceptual geometry, structural calculations, shop drawings, off-site fabrication and certified installation.
PTFE membranes require minimal routine maintenance compared with porous textiles. Cleaning cycles depend on local dust and airborne salts; in Madinah you’ll schedule inspections after major sand events. CI Shade offers maintenance programs and warranty support and will document safe access points and tensioning procedures at handover.
