WINDOW TINTING WINDOW COVERINGS Provided by

BLINDS • SHUTTERS • ROLLER SHADES • PRIVACY FILMS • HIGH PERFORMANCE FILMS

At Sun Tamers, we hope you take this holiday time to hold your loved one tight, and buy some window tint so it's not so hot and bright!

LIVE SMARTER

Make treats, give hugs, spread lots of joy, and give a loved one a motorized roller shade instead of a toy! Deck the halls, sing a song, trim the tree, and oh dear, please don't forget to get shutters for your favorite Aunt B. Get into the Christmas spirit, eat some turkey, watch the game, then get him a car tint gift certificate. The mall is so crowded and lame!

LIVE COOLER

Wishing you all the happiest, healthiest, holiest Christmas season ever. And God bless everyone!
