Install basement hopper windows to illuminate the areas of your home where wall and room space are limited, such as your basement, bathrooms and attic. What is a hopper window? You’ll typically see this type of window in basements. Instead of having a sash that slides up and down to open and close like a traditional window, a hopper window tilts to open. Unlike awning windows, which open outward from the bottom, this style of window tilts downward and inward from the top for both easy cleaning and operation. Simply turn the handle and pull the window inward. As an added benefit, you'll find many hopper windows feature removable insect screens.
Though not intended for use as basement escape windows, you'll find that basement hopper windows offer a handful of benefits, particularly when installed in tight spaces. We offer basement windows with dual-pane insulated glass and durable seals to keep cold air out and warm air in when closed. When open, in addition to allowing fresh air to enter, hopper windows can help humid air or musty odors escape. Steam generated in bathrooms and dampness from basements, can promote the growth of mold and lead to the development of unpleasant odors. Hopper windows ventilate your space and help this moisture escape. If you currently have basement slider windows, this ventilation is one reason you may want to consider hopper window replacements for your existing windows. Sliding windows only open along half their width, but hopper windows open along the full width of the frame, allowing more airflow.
While installation varies depending on whether you’re installing for new construction or installing replacement windows, general hopper window installation steps include ensuring the frame is level and square, installing stops if there are none in place and then leveling and securing the window in the frame. The window documentation should provide specific instructions for these steps and should include directions for sealing the window. Once the window is installed, you’ll likely need to install window trim. If you plan to install hopper windows as replacements for existing windows, of course you’ll have the additional steps of removing the existing windows, cleaning the frame and repairing any frame damage.
You'll find basement windows in both white and gray, as well as in a handful of heights and dimensions to fit your specific space. We also offer many basement windows with internal weeping systems.
