What is a basement hopper window?
The Window Source of Northwest PA installs basement hopper windows for homeowners across Erie and Northwest Pennsylvania, secure light and ventilation for lower-level spaces. Hopper windows tilt inward from the top to bring fresh air and daylight into utility and lower-level areas without sacrificing security or warmth. Every install includes factory-direct pricing, professional installation, and a lifetime warranty.
What makes a hopper window the best solution for your basement? The window is manufactured to open inward from the top, on a horizontal axis. This opening does not interfere with the window well and allows you to easily ventilate the basement. The hopper window can also be made to fit the short height requirement that basements so often require. When the window is closed and locked, you won’t have to worry about any water because of the tight seal.
The basement hopper is easy-to-use, customizable, and is offered at an affordable price point so you don’t have to spend a fortune to keep your basement well insulated.
If you need to replace existing windows or add new windows to your finished basement, the hopper window is definitely one to consider. You’ll love the convenience they provide.
