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.
pvdf tensile structures Makkah refers to tensile-roof systems using PVDF-coated membrane specifically specified for the Makkah climate and local project requirements. Architects, contractors and facilities teams use these shades where long‑term UV resistance, clean aesthetic and controlled daylight are priorities. They are fabric-and-steel systems: a tensioned PVDF membrane draped over engineered steel supports to create covered areas without bulky columns. Useful for carparks, walkways and shaded public plazas across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.
CI Shade brings 23+ years of Gulf experience to each project. We design, engineer, manufacture and install on-site from our 8,000 m² production facility, and provide Gulf-stamped calculations that meet local permitting expectations in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
PVDF tensile structures Makkah perform where standard fabrics fail. The PVDF coating gives membranes excellent UV stability and a self-cleaning surface that slows dirt adhesion — important under intense sun and airborne sand. CI Shade handles the engineering so you get a structure sized for 120–175 kph wind loads, with steel finishes selected for coastal and desert exposure.
We design every shade to resist intense UV, sand abrasion and temperature cycling. Wind load calculations are produced and Gulf-stamped; connections and anchorage are detailed to manage uplift and fatigue. The result is a membranous canopy that reduces surface temperatures while maintaining clear sightlines.
Design begins in CAD and SolidWorks with full fabric patterning and shop drawings. CI Shade produces stamped calculations and construction documents, collaborates on value engineering, and develops patterns in-house so membrane seams align precisely during installation.
PVDF membrane shades suit a wide range of projects across Makkah and the surrounding region:
CI Shade provides stamped calculations for 120–175 kph wind scenarios, detailed connection drawings and on-site verification. That paperwork simplifies approvals with local authorities and gives contractors the confidence to install with predictable tolerances.
Our 8,000 m² production facility runs PVDF membrane fabrication, CNC pattern cutting and pre-assembly. Off-site manufacture reduces on-site welding and rework, shortens schedules and improves quality control for complex Makkah projects.
PVDF membrane (PVDF-coated fabrics or PVDF-laminated systems) is selected for its UV resistance, surface chemistry and colour retention. Frames are fabricated to standard structural steel grades with hot-dip galvanising and optional epoxy or polyurethane topcoats to suit coastal or desert exposure. Our workflow: concept → 3D modelling → fabric patterning → off-site manufacture → certified installation and post-install inspection.
PVDF membranes typically deliver long service life; conservative field expectations are in the 15–20 year range depending on exposure and maintenance. Routine maintenance is straightforward: periodic inspections, removal of abrasive deposits, and seam/tension checks. CI Shade offers maintenance programmes and warranty support to keep structures performing through seasonal sand and heat cycles.
