There’s Only
One Polywood®
W
hen you decide to invest in shutters for your home, there’s no brand more reputable and popular than the Polywood® Shutter. Polywood® is a unique shutter that was created by Sunburst Shutters over 25 years ago. Sunburst added numerous features to common shutter designs in order to significantly enhance its performance over every other shutter. The superior qualities of the Polywood ® Shutter include a patented material and patented paint finishing process that cannot be copied. These qualities make the Polywood® Shutter the most durable & energy efficient shutter on the market. Since Polywood® is not made of wood, it saves trees. And Sunburst uses recycled Polywood® pieces into every shutter to virtually eliminate waste. Polywood® is proof that non-wood shutters can have outstanding capabilities and look beautiful. Some shutter companies have tried to capitalize on the success of Polywood ®— calling any non-wood shutter a “Polywood®” shutter. The most important thing to keep in mind when shopping for quality window treatments is that Polywood® is an exclusive and patented shutter that is only available through Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions. While other companies say they have or can provide Polywood ® , in reality, they have absolutely no access to it. All non-wood shutters are not created equally. Be sure to get any promises in writing from shutter sales reps. Polywood ® is 100% made in the USA by Sunburst and only available through the local Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions Design Center located at 6480 W. Flamingo Road, Suite D. For more information and to see the Polywood® difference, visit www.SunburstShuttersLasVegas.com or call 702-367-1600.

THE SMARTEST HOME!
W
ith the hectic and busy lifestyles most families have, keeping up with managing your home is just another chore. Smart electronics play a central role in our daily lives and technology has made it possible to play a smarter role for your home. Home automation is the mastermind solution, making it possible for virtually any appliance or device in your home to intelligently communicate with another such as audio/video systems, lighting, thermostats, drapes and shades, fireplaces and pool equipment to name a few! Universal remotes along with your smart devices can be programmed so you have full access and control of the systems in your home from any location. While many homeowners might think that having their home automated is a costly and complicated project, the truth is experts can custom create a system that works for you and your family’s lifestyle, needs and budget. Some of the many features of automating your home include: Home Theater – The key is high performance brands, not mass market brands. Whether your home theater means a cozy corner in your living room or a screening room with theater seating, you can enjoy the clearest pictures and the cleanest sound that enhances every detail of your movie experience. Audio – Integrating an audio system in your home gives you the flexibility to manage music in multiple rooms or orchestrate whole-home audio with a slide of your finger. You can play music from multiple formats and sources, including radio, streaming music services, your iPod/mp3 player or computer. So you can enjoy 80’s rock in your living room, jazz in your kitchen or hip hop in your teen’s room – all at the same time!

Make Your Backyard A Private Oasis
here are few luxuries that compare to having a private oasis within your back yard; a personal vacation spot for relaxing at the end of a long day or entertaining friends on the weekend. In Las Vegas, such a vacation spot requires one thing above all others – SHADE. That means a quality patio cover. For these conditions, you need something that will stand up to blistering heat, arid climate, strong sustained winds, and sun damage. That negates wood and vinyl, and leaves aluminum patio covers as the only truly viable option. Within the category of aluminum patio covers there are a wide range of products available, but only Ultra Series Patio covers are designed specifically to withstand the harsh desert environment found in the Las Vegas valley and provide premium comfort, appearance, and longevity. Ultra Series Patio Covers are crafted with heavy gauge aluminum, 33% thicker than the average patio cover, and are embossed with a rough-hewn

CREATE FAMILY FUN TIME with a Multi-Court!
any families today are finding it more difficult to spend quality time together because of busy schedules and the advancement of technology. Kids today spend more time on their smart phones and high tech video game systems indoors and do not get the proper exercise they need. Adults, as well, will put off exercising because of the inconvenience of going to the gym. A great solution to bring family and friends together is a multi-court. Imagine having an outdoor barbecue with friends while a game of basketball or volleyball entertains the kids. These versatile courts can be engineered easily to convert between basketball, tennis, volleyball, hockey, paddle tennis, shuffleboard, hopscotch, four square, kickball, badminton and many more, all on one court at the convenience of your home. There is virtually no limit to how your multi-court can be used. These courts can be built for indoor or outdoor spaces and will stand up to all weather conditions and serious game play. They are great places to jump rope, exercise and even teach kids to ride bikes. For those that prefer a single basketball or tennis court without the multi-court option, those courts are available as well. Because these courts will not crack or peel there is no need for court resurfacing. The courts carry a limited 16 year warranty and the basketball hoops have a limited lifetime warranty. For more information on how to create your multi-court for your home, you can contact Vegas Game Courts at 702-324-7326 or visit their website at www.vegasgamecourts.com
