*Disclaimer: Sunburst Shutters doesn’t guarantee that their our products will withstand a tornado or other natural disasters, but this is just one instance of the durability and hardiness of Sunburst’s Polywood shutters. Read our lifetime warranty.
Sturdy Material
The most important thing to be sure of when shopping for a long-lasting window treatment is exactly what material it’s built from. For wood shutters, look for ones built from hardwood that is known for being strong and resistant to warping. Our Ovation® shutters are made from furniture grade basswood and teak, which both have these qualities.
For engineered shutters, look for a product made from a solid polymer such as our Polywood® shutters. Polywood shutters are sturdier than composite shutters, which have a pressed-board core wrapped with poly-vinyl which more easily shows cosmetic defects. The material Polywood shutters are composed of is also resistant to fire, moisture, and termites.
Top-Notch Construction
A shutter’s build plays a large part in its resilience. Polywood shutters utilize tension control pins that keep the louvers tight. They also have stainless steel staples covered in epoxy which are incredibly hard to remove. Polywood’s core is solid, and its joints are secured and glued for superb strength. Our Ovation shutters are the only five star wood shutter in the world and are made with two styles of joints: mortise-and-tenon and dowel, which allows for extra stability. Sunburst is the sole place which makes shutters constructed with extreme durability in mind.
Sunburst Shutters ensures that we take the utmost consideration in the measuring, creation, and installation processes to make sure you get elegant custom shutters that fit your windows perfectly.
Color Steadfastness
It’s normal to want shutters that will look brand-new decades after you buy them. Other composite shutters are prone to fading or yellowing over time. Our Polywood shutters are coated with a special seal that contains UV-inhibitors which keeps your shutters looking brand-new. Both our Polywood and Ovation shutters are easy to keep dust-free by effortlessly wiping with a cloth.
Protective Warranty
Warranties are an additional key element when buying shutters or other window coverings. When choosing a high-quality shutter, you would benefit from a warranty to protect your investment. Our Polywood shutters include a lifetime warranty that protect you from any defects in materials, workmanship, paint finish, or installation. Our Ovation shutters are backed by a warranty against any manufacturer imperfections.
