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.
Polywood Qualifies for the Energy Tax Credit.
Some 15 years ago, when Sunburst Shutters created the Polywood shutter, we went about the process very differently than other shutter manufacturers. Our intentions were to make a shutter that was a superior insulating product.
We used a unique solid material that included UV inhibitors to block heat and light. We engineered the louvers to close tightly and minimized gaps to reduce air flow. We created a revolutionary design that included interlocking pieces of weather stripping along the vertical parts of the panel to block out air flow. And we used the best paint finish in the industry to make sure Polywood was the best insulating product you could add to your windows.
We didn't have to use any of these features if we were making an ordinary shutter. But Polywood is anything but ordinary! Polywood is an insulating system that has been independently tested and proven to significantly improve the insulating value of your windows.
If you purchase the Polywood Shutter Insulating System in 2009 or 2010, you may be able to qualify for the Energy Tax Credit as part of the Recovery Act. This credit allows qualified customers to obtain 30% of their Polywood purchase (up to $1500) as a tax credit. If you purchased Polywood, please call your local office for details. See the Tax Credit information available here on our web site.
You should also contact your tax preparer to make sure you qualify.

The Polywood Shutter Insulating System
The Polywood shutter was designed as an insulating system for windows. From the materials used in making the shutter, to the patented pieces of weather-stripping that block out airflow, the Polywood Shutter Insulating System can help you save energy and lower your power bills.
Just because a shutter sits in a window opening does not automatically make it energy efficient. It's the type of material used, the thickness, paint finish, and overall design of the shutter that qualifies it as "energy efficient."
The Polywood Shutter Insulating System was created for the purpose of blocking outside temperature from coming inside. It starts with a solid material that absorbs and reflects more outside heat than it transmits. An independent study showed it has a 46% reduction in heat transfer.
The design of the shutter gives the Polywood Shutter Insulating System an advantage over every other shutter. When you close a Polywood shutter, each panel interlocks via a patented weather-stripping design, thus blocking out any air flow through the 2 panels.
Other tests show that the Polywood Shutter Insulating System has the best R Value and energy savings characteristics of any shutter. But what our customers love the most about Polywood is that it looks beautiful in their home while its saving energy. Who would have thought that a powerful insulating system would look so good? We did, of course.
