POLYWOOD® SHUTTERS
Polywood® Shutters are superior in product innovation, serving as America’s top-selling custom plantation shutters with over 10 million shutters sold. Polywood® Shutters are 100% custom-made in the USA and specifically engineered with a durable and recyclable solid wood substitute, so they won’t chip, crack, warp, or split.
With so many other benefits to love, such as being moisture resistant, fire resistant, and impervious to termites; no doubt the ultimate durability of the Polywood® Shutter stands the test of time over any other window covering. They even come with a complete 100% Lifetime Warranty.
Whether building a new home or diving into a home improvement project, upgrade with our industry-leading Polywood® Shutters and take your home to the next level!
The Polywood Shutter Insulating System Can Save You up to $1200 Through the Federal Energy Tax Credit
Polywood® Shutters are unequivocally an ideal investment for those seeking to leverage longevity, turn-key functionality, and grand aesthetic with high-style versatility to complement any interior design decor.
One feature that sets Polywood® Shutters apart from other plantation shutters, and any other window covering, is that they are extruded with exclusive, patented weather stripping, adding another layer of window insulation. Also known as the Polywood® Shutter Insulating System, this window treatment is a game-changer for maximizing energy efficiency in any given space, lasting longer than traditional wood shutters and insulating up to 70% more efficiently. This system is part of what elevates Sunburst’s Polywood® Shutters above the competition, and it can lower heating and cooling costs by blocking up to 30 degrees of airflow that travels through windows. And Polywood shutters are now eligible for a 2024 federal tax credit of up to $1200!

Lifetime Warranty
Sunburst’s Polywood Warranty covers any defects in manufacturing, finish, and installation for life. Our comprehensive warranty is backed by our extensive experience in the shutter industry since 1978. The Polywood® Shutter is so well-built that we rarely send out a repair crew. With all other types of window treatments, visits from a repair crew are common. That’s why we created Polywood, so you’ll never have to worry about your interior shutters. At Sunburst Shutters, we’re committed to treating your windows right the first time.
Polywood® Shutters Installation
Proper installation is almost as important as the product itself—an improperly installed custom window treatment can be tough to open and can get damaged easily. Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions has a professional installation crew that comes to your location and installs your Polywood® Shutters precisely, making sure that each one operates perfectly.
Our local store will call you to set up an installation day and time that works for your schedule. Before the installers arrive, you will need to remove all old window treatments and move furniture out of the way. This makes it easy for our installation team to get right to work on your new window treatments. If you have any questions about operating Polywood® Shutters, don’t hesitate to ask your installer, or you can always call the store.
