Basement & hopper windows

Basement windows take more abuse than any other opening in the house: water, dirt, and damp. A new hopper window tilts in from the top, seals tight, and finally keeps the basement dry and the drafts out.

What it is

The opening that takes the most abuse.

Old steel and wood basement windows rust, rot, and leak. A modern hopper window hinges at the bottom and tilts in from the top, so it sheds water away from the opening and seals against air and moisture. It is a small job that makes a damp, drafty basement noticeably better.

Best for: Basements, utility spaces, and any below-grade opening fighting water and drafts.

How we do it

The details that decide the difference.

01

Tilts in, sheds water

The hopper design opens inward from the top and directs water away from the opening instead of into it.

02

Seals out drafts and damp

A tight new frame stops the air leaks and moisture that old basement windows let through.

03

Built for a rough spot

Durable frames made for below-grade conditions, where wood rots and steel rusts.

Good quality windows for a great price! I have been using their windows for 30 years.
