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 fabric-roof systems where a glass-fibre substrate is coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) to create a low‑surface‑energy, weather-resistant membrane. Architects, contractors and facility managers in Tabuk specify these systems for canopies, stadium roofs and large covered walkways because the material sheds dust and tolerates intense UV. CI Shade engineers PTFE tensile structures Tabuk projects to meet Gulf climate demands and project programme constraints.
CI Shade covers design, engineering, manufacturing and installation across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. We hold ISO certification and Aramco approvals, run an 8,000 m² production facility and provide Gulf-stamped calculations for 120–175 kph wind loads where required.
PTFE membranes deliver a rare combination: translucency for daylight, resistance to UV degradation, and a low-friction surface that helps rain and dust run off. That matters in Tabuk where high solar loads, sand ingress and occasional high winds shorten the service life of inferior materials. We design every structure with material selection and connection detailing tuned to those conditions.
We engineer for wind loads between 120–175 kph and specify anchorage and secondary steel to match. PTFE's chemical inertness and thermal stability reduce ageing from UV and heat; the glass-fibre substrate resists creep under sustained tension. The result: a membrane system that maintains its pre-tension and geometry through seasons of sun, sand and sudden gusts.
CI Shade uses CAD and SolidWorks for form-finding and fabric patterning, producing shop drawings and Gulf-stamped structural calculations. We pattern, CNC-cut and weld membranes off-site at our 8,000 m² facility, then coordinate erection with a site package and installation team. Clients get stamped drawings, connection details and a practical build sequence — not vague sketches.
PTFE tensile structures fit larger spans and architectural roofs where durability and daylight control are priorities. Common deployments in Tabuk include:
Our engineering package includes load tables, connection details and stamped calculations suitable for Saudi building authorities. We verify membrane geometry, pre-tension values and anchor design for Tabuk site conditions.
Off-site fabrication at an 8,000 m² facility keeps quality tight and site downtime short. CNC patterning, high-frequency welding and a controlled QA process reduce leak risk and ensure tight fit-up on complex, doubly-curved forms.
PTFE membranes are PTFE-coated glass-fibre fabrics with a high melt point and low surface energy. For the supporting frame we specify hot-dip galvanised or epoxy-coated structural steel with welds and bolted connections detailed to resist fatigue and corrosion. Clients choose coating systems and paints to meet expected maintenance cycles and exposure classes.
PTFE resists most chemical attack and retains tensile properties under UV exposure better than many polymer films. Maintenance typically consists of periodic inspections and gentle cleaning to remove abrasive sand; connection points and drainage paths are inspected on the same schedule. CI Shade provides warranty support and scheduled maintenance programmes to protect long-term performance.
