Fabric Shield Storm Protection
Not all homes in Southern Mississippi are built the same — so why settle for a one-size-fits-all hurricane solution? Fabric shield panels, also known as hurricane fabric shields, are an innovative alternative to traditional shutters and plywood, offering a flexible yet impact-resistant barrier that’s easy to deploy and store.
Whether you’re protecting a historic Gulfport cottage, a modern Biloxi beachfront or a brick home in Hattiesburg, fabric shields conform to your home’s needs without compromising on strength. Window World of Southern Mississippi installs fabric shields across the gulf coast to ensure homes are protected from severe weather.
What Is A Fabric Shield Storm Panel?
A fabric shield is a high-performance, translucent material designed to deflect wind and flying debris during severe storms. Tested to meet or exceed Florida Building Code standards, these panels can be attached over windows, doors, garage openings or lanais using grommets, tracks or clips.
Unlike heavy metal panels, fabric shields are:
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- UV-resistant and translucent, allowing light in even when deployed
- Compact for seasonal storage in garages or sheds
- Custom-sized for oddly shaped or large openings
They’re ideal for homeowners in communities like Diamondhead, Petal and Laurel —and where fast setup is essential before fast-moving storms.

Who Should Consider Fabric Shield Panels?
Many Southern Mississippi homeowners can benefit from fabric shield storm panels. Window World is here to help you find an exterior solution that effectively safeguards your home.
1. Busy Families In Gulfport And Hattiesburg
No time to lug plywood or metal shutters? Fabric shields go up quickly — even by one person. They’re perfect for families on the go or retirees who prefer simpler storm prep.
2. Second Homeowners
Secure your home even if you’re away. Fabric shields can be installed and removed quickly or left semi-permanently with track systems.
3. Homeowners With Architectural Features
Got arch windows or expansive lanais? Fabric shields bend and stretch to cover non-standard openings — something rigid panels can’t do.
4. Cost-Conscious Buyers
Looking for reliable hurricane protection that won’t break the bank? Fabric shields often offer an affordable price point without sacrificing safety.
