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

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

The goal to be the best shutter company has transformed every aspect of the window treatment industry. Sunburst provided an in-home consultation where design experts brought samples into a customer’s residence to walk them through 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 the nation 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 showed clients a longer lasting and energy-efficient window treatment: plantation shutters. 

Initially, the company offered wood shutters exclusively. But it became evident fast that Sunburst should craft the ultimate shutter – one that provides utmost energy efficiency, and looks as exquisite 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 best shutters on the market, 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-built and professionally installed. With 2,000+ window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is the ultimate source of window treatment products in the nation.
