Company Overview
With over 23 years of experience, we have established ourselves as the trusted choice for residential and commercial clients across Cyprus.
Industry Leadership in Shade Solutions
Since its inception in 2002, SHADEPORTS PLUS has emerged as a leading provider of high-quality fabric shade solutions, covering over 265,000 square metres across Cyprus with more than 50 tons of material. Under the leadership of Christopher Kafizas, the company has evolved into a trusted name for residential, commercial, and corporate shading solutions.
Christopher Kafizas, originally from Zimbabwe, gained extensive experience working in South Africa and the United States before relocating to Cyprus to launch a new business venture. Partnering with his father, a seasoned expert in the textile industry, they founded SHADEPORTS PLUS with a commitment to quality and innovation. The family business expanded further when Jason, Christopher’s brother, joined after his time in London and the United States. What began as a small retail operation has since transformed into a dynamic team of skilled professionals, including qualified architects and engineers.
Operating from two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Paphos, SHADEPORTS PLUS serves clients across the island. One facility specialises in steel and woodwork, while the other focuses on fabric cutting, sewing, and maintenance.
A Commitment to Excellence
SHADEPORTS PLUS stands apart not only for its professionalism but also because of its commitment to delivering high-quality products backed by a credible 10-year warranty. The company’s exclusive partnership with Multiknit International, one of the world's most prestigious shade net suppliers, ensures that clients receive industry-leading materials known for their durability, UV protection, and superior performance.
Trusted by Leading Organisations
With over 10,000 successful projects across Cyprus, SHADEPORTS PLUS has become the preferred supplier of shading solutions for residential properties, businesses, and large-scale corporate clients.
Unmatched Quality & Exclusive Partnerships
SHADEPORTS PLUS is the exclusive agent for premium HDPE Polyethylene Fabric, sourced from one of the world's largest manufacturers based in South Africa. This supplier holds over 60% of the global market share, supplying Europe, the UAE, and the United States. Through this exclusive agreement, SHADEPORTS PLUS offers clients a 10-year guarantee directly from the manufacturer, providing unmatched protection compared to standard retail alternatives.
Renowned for its exceptional durability and UV resistance, HDPE Polyethylene Fabric is designed to withstand diverse climates. In line with its continuous expansion, SHADEPORTS PLUS has introduced high-quality agricultural netting to support Cypriot farmers in protecting their crops and vineyards.
Innovation & Safety at the Forefront
Christopher Kafizas maintains strong partnerships with industry leaders in South Africa and Australia, ensuring SHADEPORTS PLUS stays at the forefront of the latest advancements in shading solutions. As the premier supplier of UV and hail-protective canopies in Cyprus, the company prioritises safety and ensures every installation meets the highest industry standards.
One of SHADEPORTS PLUS' most sought-after products since 2004 has been the architectural shade sail—a stylish, yet highly functional shading solution. Thanks to proper maintenance and rigorous quality control, the company has never experienced UV fabric disintegration in over 20 years, underscoring its dedication to long-lasting performance.
Looking Ahead: Expanding the Outdoor Lifestyle Range
As SHADEPORTS PLUS continues to innovate, it plans to introduce a new range of outdoor lifestyle products and services. This expansion will further reinforce its position as the leader in premium shade solutions in Cyprus, offering cutting-edge designs and superior protection for homes, businesses, and outdoor spaces.
