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 architectural membrane systems that use PTFE-coated fabric over a tensioned steel frame to create long-span, low-maintenance canopies. For clients in Makkah these systems provide covered circulation, shaded gathering spaces and dramatic roof forms that perform under intense sun and seasonal winds. CI Shade specifies PTFE tensile structures Makkah projects where longevity and low soiling are priorities.
Choice International Shade delivers end-to-end services across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain — from concept sketches to Gulf-stamped calculations and installation. We work to ISO standards and carry Aramco approvals where required, with engineering geared to local wind loading and thermal demands.
PTFE membranes suit Makkah because they balance longevity with low maintenance. The fluoropolymer surface resists staining and holds its surface properties far longer than many PVC membranes; that reduces cleaning cycles and lifecycle cost. CI Shade handles the technical choices so architects and facility managers get predictable performance in the Gulf climate.
We design structures to withstand sand-laden winds, high UV exposure and thermal cycling. CI Shade engineers follow Gulf-stamped calculations with wind load criteria in the 120–175 kph range where project scope demands it. PTFE resists UV degradation and, when coupled with correctly detailed drainage and edge reinforcement, delivers years of reliable service.
Design work is done in-house using CAD and SolidWorks. We produce fabric patterning, shop drawings and stamped structural calculations so the contractor and client have a single point of responsibility. That reduces RFI cycles on site and keeps the programme tight; we also offer value-engineering if a budget or delivery constraint appears.
PTFE tensile structures suit projects requiring large, unobstructed spans and premium durability. Architects specify them where form and long-term cleanliness matter.
CI Shade produces stamped structural calculations and shop drawings aligned with local codes. Our engineers size members, design connections and provide wind and snow (where applicable) checks so the PTFE tensile structures meet client and municipal requirements.
We manufacture in an 8,000 m² facility, maintaining tight quality control on fabric welding, PTFE coating integrity and steel fabrication. Off-site assembly reduces on-site labour, improves safety and shortens installation windows — important on constrained Makkah sites.
CI Shade works with PTFE alongside other fabrics such as PVC, PVDF, HDPE and ETFE depending on performance and budget requirements. For PTFE projects we specify PTFE-coated fiberglass membranes, hot-welded seams, and steel frames with protective hot-dip galvanising or specified paint systems. Typical delivery follows survey, concept design, structural analysis, off-site fabrication, site installation and handover — with maintenance plans available after completion.
PTFE membranes are noted for long service life and reduced dirt pickup; that translates to fewer cleanings and lower operating cost. CI Shade offers maintenance contracts that include regular inspections, tension checks and seam condition reports. Warranty terms and expected service intervals are provided during tender so facility managers can budget accurately.
