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.
Tensile fabric structures are engineered membrane roofs and canopies that use tensioned fabric supported by steel frames, cables or masts to create large, column-free covered areas. For architects, contractors and facility managers planning projects in Riyadh, tensile fabric structures Riyadh provide a practical way to shade car parks, playgrounds, sports facilities and entrances while keeping structural weight and foundation costs down.
CI Shade has been delivering these systems across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain for over two decades. We handle design, Gulf-stamped engineering, off-site manufacture in our 8,000 m² facilities and site installation with safety-compliant teams. Our work follows ISO processes and Aramco-approved standards where required.
They cut solar gain dramatically and reduce peak surface temperatures without the bulk of a conventional roof. That matters in Riyadh where intense UV, extreme heat and sand-driven abrasion shorten the life of lesser systems. CI Shade offers membrane options (PVDF-coated PVC, PTFE, ETFE and HDPE) selected for long service life and easy maintenance.
We engineer to withstand 120–175 kph wind loads depending on project class and location; calculations are Gulf-stamped for local approval. Fabrics are UV-stable and available with PVDF topcoats that resist chalking and resist salt and sand abrasion. The result: durable shading that keeps sun and heat off people and assets while minimising corrosion risk to steelwork.
CI Shade uses CAD and SolidWorks for patterning, structural analysis and shop drawings. Our engineers produce stamped calculations, detailed connection designs and fabrication-ready patterns. We collaborate with architects and MEP teams early on to coordinate drainage, lighting and service penetrations — that avoids rework on site.
Tensile systems adapt to many project types in Riyadh. They offer design flexibility from elegant entrance sails to large-span car park canopies and shade-covered sports courts. You can expect bespoke geometry, tailored colours and coordinated steel finishes.
We commonly specify PVDF-coated PVC with a 15–20 year service life and a self-cleaning finish, or PTFE/ETFE for projects that demand the highest translucency and longevity. HDPE knit is used for privacy walls and sun sails where breathability matters.
Production occurs in our 8,000 m² facility with quality controls aligned to ISO standards. We deliver shop drawings, factory-fabricated membrane panels and Aramco-compliant steelwork when projects specify those approvals.
Choice International Shade supplies PVC/PVDF, PTFE, ETFE and HDPE membranes depending on performance needs. Steelwork is specified in S275 or S355 grades, hot-dip galvanised or painted with epoxy + polyurethane finishes for coastal or industrial exposure. Our process runs: site survey → concept geometry → structural analysis and stamping → patterning and off-site fabrication → site installation and handover.
Membrane maintenance is straightforward: periodic visual inspections, debris clearing and low-pressure wash to remove sand and salt deposits. Typical warranties depend on material and project scope; PVDF-coated PVC commonly includes a manufacturer’s warranty against UV degradation. For large facilities we provide scheduled maintenance programmes to extend service life and protect warranties.
