Sunburst Shutters Company History: How We Brought Custom Shutters to Salt Lake City

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

The ambition to be the best shutter company has changed every aspect of the window treatment business. Sunburst provided an in-home consultation where design experts brought samples into a customer’s home to guide them in picking the best window treatment product. In addition, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were well-mannered 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 usual window treatments in most homes. That’s when Sunburst Shutters introduced customers to a more durable and energy-efficient window treatment: plantation shutters. 

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

Once Sunburst offered the best shutters on the market, they grew substantially, opening locations across the country. 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-designed and professionally installed. With more than 2,000 window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is hands down the best source of window treatment products in in the US.
