Sunburst Shutters Company History: How We Brought Custom Shutters to Southern California

Sunburst Shutters was founded in the early '70s in Phoenix, AZ, by people who thought they could make a better shutter than any other in America.

The vision to be the best shutter company has turned every aspect of the window treatment business on its head. Sunburst provided an in-home consultation where design experts brought samples into a customer’s house to walk them through choosing the best window treatment product. In addition, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were courteous and friendly – and, at the same time, skilled and helpful. Homeowners across the US fell in love with Sunburst Shutters at first sight.

In the '70s, draperies and blinds were the usual window treatments in most homes. That’s when Sunburst Shutters introduced customers to a longer lasting and energy-efficient window treatment: plantation shutters. 

At the beginning, the company offered wood shutters only. But it became evident fast that Sunburst should make the ultimate shutter – one that provides utmost energy efficiency, and looks as elegant 20 years from now as the day you had it installed. After much research, sampling, and testing, Sunburst revealed its Polywood Shutters. 

Once Sunburst offered the best shutters in the industry, they grew considerably, opening locations across the US. In 2008, Sunburst Shutters extended its selection into blinds, shades, draperies, and window film – and changed its name to Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions.

Now, Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions offers any treatment for any size or shape of window – all custom-designed and professionally installed. With 2,000+ window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is hands down the best source of window treatment products in America.
