Sunburst Shutters Company History: How We Brought Custom Shutters to Cleveland

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

The goal to be the best shutter company has turned every aspect of the window treatment business on its head. Sunburst started offering an in-home consultation where design experts brought samples into a customer’s house to guide them in picking the best window treatment product. On top of that, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were well-mannered and friendly – and, at the same time, knowledgeable and helpful. Homeowners across America fell in love with Sunburst Shutters at first sight.

In the '70s, draperies and blinds were the common 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 exclusively. But it was instantly obvious that Sunburst should make the ultimate shutter – one that provides premium energy efficiency, and looks as elegant 20 years from now as the day you had it installed. After much research, sampling, and testing, Sunburst announced the creation of Polywood Shutters. 

Once Sunburst offered the best shutters on the market, they grew considerably, opening stores across the country. In 2008, Sunburst Shutters extended its offerings 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-fashioned and professionally installed. With 2,000+ window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is hands down the best source of window treatment products in in the US.
