Sunburst Shutters Company History: How We Brought Custom Shutters to San Diego

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

The goal to be the best shutter company has transformed every aspect of the window treatment industry. Sunburst offered an in-home consultation where design specialists brought samples into a customer’s residence to show them the steps in choosing the best window treatment product. On top of that, 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 at first sight.

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

At the beginning, the company offered wood shutters exclusively. But it became evident fast that Sunburst should make the ultimate shutter – one that provides utmost energy efficiency, and looks as beautiful 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 in the industry, they grew extensively, opening locations across America. In 2008, Sunburst Shutters expanded 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 the nation.
