Install Hopper Windows with EZ Window Solutions

 

As a window contractor, we sell and install hopper windows. These are most commonly found in basements and lower floor bathrooms where full sized windows are not feasible.

Many home owners will add hopper windows to promote natural light and improve air circulation in smaller, darker spaces. We build custom hopper windows to suite any configuration you need. Below are a few reasons why hopper windows can be a good alternative to awning windows.

How do Hopper Windows Stack up

At first look, hopper windows and awning windows look somewhat similar. But hoppers have a hinge located at the bottom and open towards the inside. Compared that to awning windows which have a hinge located at the top and open from the bottom out. As mentioned, hoppers are perfect to bring in sunlight and increase ventilation to smaller darker rooms. Some homeowners will install a hopper window below a double hung window for a an amazing curbside appeal.

Pros and Cons of Hopper Windows

Along with energy efficiency, hopper windows add an element of security that other windows lack. A top latch lock is extremely secure and hard to break, making this window a popular choice in areas around lower levels where would-be burglars typically target.

Some of the common challenges with outward opening hopper windows is being limited to opening during rain which can let water accumulate in the opening due to the way the window opens. The inward opening hopper windows can bump into curtains or other close by objects in the home. Also, because these windows are installed in those smaller, more confined spaces, cleaning them can be tough.
