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

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

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 home to guide them in selecting the best window treatment product. With that in mind, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were courteous and friendly – and, at the same time, skilled and helpful. Homeowners across the nation 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. 

Originally, the company offered wood shutters solely. But it was quickly apparent that Sunburst should make the ultimate shutter – one that provides premium energy efficiency, and looks as beautiful 20 years from now as the day you bought it. After much research, sampling, and testing, Sunburst revealed its Polywood Shutters. 

Once Sunburst offered the first class shutters in the marketplace, they grew substantially, opening stores 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-made and professionally installed. With 2,000+ window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is the absolute source of window treatment products in the nation.
