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

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

The vision 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 show them the steps in selecting the best window treatment product. With that in mind, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were attentive 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 usual window treatments in most homes. That’s when Sunburst Shutters gave consumers a longer lasting and energy-efficient window treatment: plantation shutters. 

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

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