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

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

The objective to be the best shutter company has changed every aspect of the window treatment business. Sunburst started offering an in-home consultation where design experts brought samples into a customer’s house to guide them in 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, knowledgeable and helpful. Homeowners across America fell in love with Sunburst Shutters fast.

In the '70s, draperies and blinds were the common window treatments in most homes. That’s when Sunburst Shutters gave consumers a more durable and energy-efficient window treatment: plantation shutters. 

At the beginning, the company offered wood shutters exclusively. But it was instantly obvious that Sunburst should create the ultimate shutter – one that provides utmost energy efficiency, and looks as beautiful 20 years from now as the day you purchased it. After much research, sampling, and testing, Sunburst released its Polywood Shutters. 

Once Sunburst offered the best shutters in the industry, they grew substantially, opening locations across the country. In 2008, Sunburst Shutters grew 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-made and professionally installed. With over 2,000 window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is the ultimate source of window treatment products in in the US.
