You've got style!
Recently, a customer contacted us about their experience with other window treatment companies. They had received multiple bids for their window treatments. They heard that Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions had a great reputation for top quality products and superior service. But they received multiple bids nevertheless.
It was quite satisfying to hear this customer compliment our people and professionalism. Her comment about our people "having more style" than our competition was greatly appreciated.
I must say, that our customers are very stylish--perhaps that's why we have a connection with so many of them.
It's all about the service.
There's an aspect to every home improvement that you cannot overlook: customer service. Sure, Sunburst has the best window treatments on the market, but that would not matter if we did not do our best to take care of customers.
We're not perfect, but I can honestly say I've met most of our employees across the country and all of them are genuinely interested in giving customers the best value and service to make their homes look spectacular.
We've had customers calling our corporate office lately--not to complain, but to compliment our people on their great service. Some were surprised at the level of service Sunburst gives. Others said they did not know there were companies that did what we do to make sure every customer is satisfied.
So when you're thinking about window treatments, we hope you'll think about the service side of your investment too. Then give Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions a call. Let us show you what makes us different: it's our products, our people and our superior customer service.
Summertime & the living can be easy....
If you're like me, you love the summer. Perfect weather, lots of BBQ's, pool parties and more. It's great to feel the heat outdoors, but for some people, their homes give them little escape from the heat.
If the AC's working fine and your home is still hot, maybe the problem is your windows. Many studies have proven that windows are the #1 source of air loss in a home.
Of course Sunburst Shutters has the solution with Polywood shutters, wood shutters and Panorama window film.
Polywood is superior for energy efficiency. Installing Polywood over your existing windows can product a U-Factor better than many replacement windows.
Our window film also offers great heat control, and blocks out 99% of UV rays.
Just give us a call and let our experts demonstrate options for controlling the heat in your home. And then, all of a sudden, summertime becomes easy to enjoy!
Spring Shutter Cleaning
May is here. The temperature is warmer and everyone seems to be thinking of summer.
If you're doing Spring Cleaning, give some attention to your shutters. If you have Polywood shutters, you can dust them with a cloth, which can be dampened if needed. Hot water will help remove stubborn spots. There's no need to use cleaning solutions.
Ovation wood shutters should be dusted without any liquid or cleaning solution.
If it's been a while since you've dusted your shutters, sometimes it helps to wipe the shutters completely with 1 cloth, then a second time with a new cloth.
Take a vacuum attachment to dust that might be in the window sill area, then wipe it down as well. If you're washing your windows, remember to swing your shutter panels open so as not to spray any window cleaner on the shutters.
If your shutters need any repairs or adjustments, call your nearest store.
We just had a call this week from a woman whose dog chewed on her shutter louvers. Not very tasty. But we helped her replace 6 louvers that had served as a snack for the dog.
Give us a call if we can help in any way. And enjoy the view from your beautiful (and now clean) shutters.

Window Treatment Recall Announcement
Today, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of over 5 million blinds and shades because they pose potential strangulation hazards for children. Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions products are not part of this recall.
Sunburst offers a variety of child-safe products that include shutters, as well as other treatments with cordless controls and remote control.
For many years, Sunburst has been educating consumers about the dangers of corded window treatments. Sunburst has partnered with the non-profit organization Parents for Window Blind Safety (PFWBS) and developed an outreach program to alert consumers to the potential strangulation hazards of corded products.
In 2005, PFWBS awarded Sunburst's shutter products with their Safety Seal of Approval. This was awarded after testing confirmed that our shutters were completely safe for children. Sunburst's shutter products were the first shutters to receive this certification.
If you have questions about the recall, visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission web site at www.cpsc.gov. If you would like to replace your recalled products with Sunburst's line of child-safe window treatments, give us a call at 877-SUNBURST.

Add a Little Color
Autumn is such a colorful season with all the leaves changing colors. The changing colors of each season add great variety to the landscape. Some customers have taken seasonal color changes indoors with their window treatments.
Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions has numerous treatments that can be modified seasonally. This is especially true of our Panel Trac product. While the track itself stays attached to the ceiling, the individual fabric panels can be easily removed and replaced. You can utilize rich reds and oranges for autumn, softer tones in the winter, pastels in spring and warmer colors in summer. It's an easy way to change the look of your home without investing in new furniture.
Most of the blind and shade products we offer slide into brackets that are attached to the window opening. If you purchased different patterns/colors of the same window treatment, it would be easy to make the change.
And changing your treatments doesn't have to be seasonal. Sometimes, you just need a new look. Talk to your Sunburst rep about how to best customize a set of colorful window treatments for your home.
Enjoy the color.
