At Sunburst Shutters New Brunswick, we bring you Polywood®; (a faux wood plantation shutter) and Ovation®; (a real wood shutter) to meet your window treatment needs. We compare faux wood shutters side by side with wood shutters. From their materials to their ease of cleaning and more.

And in the plantation shutters market, our faux wood shutters insulate 70% better than equivalent wood shutters. And our wood shutters are no slouch when it comes to energy efficiency . The only window treatment that tops their efficiency are Polywood shutters. Durability Polywood shutters are made from a solid-engineered wood substitute that won’t crack.
