What Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions does

Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions, operating as Sunburst Shutters Phoenix, is a privately held custom window treatment retailer and installer based in Mesa, Arizona, serving the Phoenix metropolitan area since 1979. The company operates as a regional branch within the broader Sunburst Shutters family of companies and offers a broad portfolio of window coverings spanning plantation shutters (Polywood®, Ovation®, Studio, and Reclaimed Wood lines), an extensive shade collection (motorized, roller, roman, cellular, transitional, sheer, woven, tumble), wood and faux-wood blinds, sliding barn doors, custom draperies, and commercial treatments. Its core proprietary technology is the patented Polywood® solid engineered wood substitute, which is moisture-proof, fire-resistant, and combined with a custom weatherstripping system is marketed as blocking up to 50% of energy transfer through windows. Shutters are manufactured in the USA at the company's factory, and the product line also includes computer-aided design support for specialty window shapes such as arched, bay, French door, and rake windows.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer model with no retail storefronts or third-party resellers. Free in-home and virtual design consultations are the primary conversion mechanism, followed by exact measurement, custom manufacturing, and professional installation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; financing options are available. Beyond the primary residential homeowner segment, the company operates structured Interior Designer and Home Builder programs with bulk purchasing and partnership commissions, and lists commercial window treatments as a separate product category. Marketing relies on local SEO, a design blog, YouTube/video content, customer testimonials, and third-party endorsements such as Houzz (Best of Houzz 2026) and the 2016 Judges' Choice award for Reclaimed Wood Shutters from the Window Covering Manufacturers Awards. The company is licensed in Arizona (AZROC #2940999), employs 1-10 people at the Mesa location, and has not disclosed revenue or external investment.
