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

Sunburst Shutters was started in the early '70s in Phoenix, AZ, by people who believed 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 professionals brought samples into a customer’s residence to guide them in selecting the best window treatment product. In addition, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were courteous and friendly – and, at the same time, experienced and helpful. Homeowners across the US quickly fell in love with Sunburst Shutters.

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

At first, the company offered wood shutters only. But it was quickly apparent 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 bought it. After much research, sampling, and testing, Sunburst released its Polywood Shutters. 

Once Sunburst offered the first class shutters in the industry, they grew considerably, opening stores across the country. In 2008, Sunburst Shutters broadened 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 the ultimate source of window treatment products in in the US.
