Sunburst also offers a full line of custom shades, including motorized shades that work with a remote control and are smart home compatible. 

What sets you apart from other window covering companies?

Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions was started with the goal of doing it better—better products, better customer service, better warranties, etc. That mantra is central to everything Sunburst Shutters employees do. It starts with exceptional products that perform better than the competition. Sunburst’s premier product is its Polywood Shutters. Polywood was created by Sunburst to be more energy-efficient, more durable, and more beautiful than any other shutter. Sunburst’s commitment includes professionals who are truly dedicated to making sure every job looks perfect every time. And we back up our promise with the best warranties in the business.

Tell us about the science behind your Polywood Shutters.

There truly is a science to Polywood. Years ago, Sunburst set out to create the best shutters on the market. The process included:

·         Analyzing customer needs

·         Adding options to increase functionality

·         Exploring a variety of materials to make a better shutter

The result of that multi-year effort was Sunburst’s patented Polywood shutters. Polywood is an extruded product with a paint finish that chemically bonds to the material in an oven. No other shutter has that kind of finish. Therefore, no other shutter can offer a lifetime warranty on the paint finish. Polywood is extruded with weatherstripping on the sides of every panel, which blocks more light and temperature than any other shutter.

Independent studies show that Polywood can block up to 30 degrees of outside temperature from coming into your windows—the best in the industry.

But what people love most of all about Polywood shutters is their lasting beauty. They really do look stunning in any home. Polywood is also 100% made in the USA. 

With the heat coming to Vegas, what do you think is the best way to conserve money and energy?

The best way to minimize the Vegas heat and save on power bills is to install Polywood Shutters in your home. It will block more outside temperature from coming into your home than any other window treatment. Polywood offers a 45.96% reduction in heat transfer and is 70% more energy-efficient than wood shutters. Polywood is the answer—and only Sunburst Shutters has it.
