We understand the importance of energy efficiency in your living or workspaces. To optimize energy savings and create a comfortable environment, we recommend window coverings that provide effective insulation and light control. Nowadays, many manufacturers address energy efficiency in today’s window fashions. A product such as the shutter, which can block out light, can also reduce incoming heat or trap cool air in. Another, softer option is the cellular shade also known as honeycomb shade which can come in a one to three cell design in multiple sizes and densities. The more cells a shade has and the stronger the opacity, then the more efficient the shade can be. During your consultation, our experts will assess your specific needs and guide you towards the most suitable energy-efficient window coverings for your space. Create a more sustainable and comfortable environment while adding a touch of style to your windows!
Specialty-shaped windows, like the elegance of arched windows, deserve equally special treatments.

Other popular options do exist depending on the window such as custom arched shades, custom drapery and cellular shades. It really depends on a few factors that we can better answer once seeing the window and its location. Our expert team can guide you in choosing the perfect window covering for your specialty-shaped windows.

We offer an innovative award-winning window treatment called SmartDrape™ Shades for an elegant and softer look.

Our experts are here to guide you in selecting the ideal solution for your slider door windows.
Precise measurements are the key to ensuring a perfect fit for your window treatments. While we appreciate the measurements you provide, our on-site measuring service is a crucial step in guaranteeing accuracy and optimal performance. Window fashions are more complex than one might think. Several factors can influence the fit of window treatments, such as the window frame, molding, and any irregularities in the wall. Our professional measuring service takes these nuances into account, ensuring that the window treatments are tailored precisely to your specific space. Additionally, our experts are trained to identify potential challenges and offer solutions during the measuring process. This proactive approach helps avoid any surprises during installation and ensures that your chosen window treatments not only look stunning but also function seamlessly. Rest assured, our commitment to perfection extends from the initial measurements to the final installation, providing you with a flawless window treatment experience tailored to your unique space. A measuring job done inaccurately can end up costing you lots of money if window coverings don’t fit correctly.
An inside mount is when the blind, shade, or shutter fits inside of the window opening. Mounting as an inside mount generally has a cleaner, neater look. An outside mount is when the shutter, blind or shade is installed above and around the window frame and can be used if there isn’t enough depth to mount the product inside the opening. Sliding glass doors and wood cased shallow windows are popular outside mount choices.
Most shutters and blinds should be cleaned with a soft dry dusting method or vacuumed with a soft brush attachment on a regular basis. For deep cleaning, we recommend an outside service that does ultrasonic cleaning of your blinds. However, as each window covering is very different, we are happy to give you detail instructions upon installation, so you can be sure you are taking care of your products properly.

Have Questions About Shutters?
Please reach us at info@sunkistshutters.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Traditional custom shutters come in a hardwood material that can be painted or stained. Just like quality custom furniture and cabinets have always been made with authentic wood, custom shutters are no different. Sunkist Shutters use real wood named Basswood sometimes known as Lindenwood and Madera de Tilo. It is the industry’s best material for shutters. It’s lightweight and stays true (meaning no warping over time). The faux wood / hybrid shutter is made of a composite wood, ABS material and/or Vinyl. While most faux wood/hybrid shutters can have a slim hollow design, it is water resistant, fire retardant, and scratch & dent proof.
One of the true benefits of real hardwood shutters is exhibited when a stained finish is selected allowing the natural beauty and elegance of the wood to be on display. The hardwood in stained shutters offers luxurious wood graining with elegant natural characteristics. The lighter weight of real hardwood shutters also allows for wider single panel widths for more unobstructed views.
Sunkist shutters are available with 1 ⅞”, 2 ½”, 3”, 3 ½” & 4 ½” louvers.
Have Questions About Blinds?
Please reach us at info@sunkistshutters.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We carry a variety of blinds including wood blinds, faux wood blinds, aluminum blinds, and vertical blinds.
Blinds are made up of individual slats that can be adjusted to control the amount of light that enters a room. Shades are made of a continuous piece of fabric that can be raised or lowered to control the amount of light that enters a room.
Real wood blinds are typically made of basswood, a hardwood that stains very nicely. There are some other woods available such as cedar, phoenix, and pine that have unique grains and/or knots that add to the beauty of the product. Faux wood blinds are made of durable polymer materials and can have the appearance of real wood. They come in shades of white as well as some popular “wood” tones that can coordinate with your décor. Faux woods are typically less expensive than real wood but can be a bit heavier when lifting them.
Faux Wood Blinds are made from high quality polymer materials. In white or off whites our faux-wood blinds are difficult to tell from genuine wood. In wood tones, we offer very realistic colors that will match most trim. Faux wood is a great choice for areas of high moisture such as bathrooms and over kitchen sinks. Many people are surprised to learn that faux wood is heavier that real wood so they can be harder to raise when used on large windows.
Have Questions About Shades?
Please reach us at info@sunkistshutters.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
With window shades there are countless options. It all ultimately comes down to preference and what look/feel you are trying to achieve in your home or that specific room. Some shades are “all or nothing” in regard to views and lighting. Other shades are sheer and light filtering, however there are options where you can raise and lower the tops as well as the bottoms of a shade. Please see our shades page for a better description of what each style shade has to offer. This is a perfect example of how our free in-home consultations can be beneficial to our customers to use that time and go over what style window treatments will work best for each home.
