Hopper Window Installation And Replacement Services From Zen Windows

Hopper windows are similar to awning windows in that they are typically smaller sizes for adding much needed light or ventilation into tight spaces. Hopper windows are ideal for areas where you may want to have a window without sacrificing privacy.

Hopper windows are composed of a single sash that is hinged at the bottom and opens downward. They are controlled by a hand crank and typically open into the interior of the house. Because of their unique operation, this can help prevent visibility inward through the open window.

The operational style of hopper windows makes them a great fit for areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, or other small spaces. They can also be great additions above or below larger windows to increase light, ventilation, and visual aesthetics.

Hopper Windows For Any Architectural Style

Typically hopper windows are installed on the sides or back of a house which marks them a great addition for any style of home.

Hopper windows are most commonly found in these types of architecture styled homes:

  • Colonial
  • Victorian
  • Craftsman
  • Farmhouse
  • Modern
  • Cape Cod 
  • Tudor

Because they are typically long and narrow, hopper windows are a perfect way to add a smaller window in tight spaces. They can also be configured with other windows, above doorways, or mulled together horizontally or vertically.

New windows will not necessarily insulate your home, but they can make it more energy efficient. Contemporary windows are manufactured with a layer of insulation in the frame and either double or triple panes to prevent the air from escaping. This insulation layer and multiple panes act as a barrier around the window, preventing unwanted heat exchange.

Hopper Windows FAQs

What are some of the benefits I can expect from hopper windows?

Adding hopper windows to your home can deliver several benefits. Hopper windows are great for adding light and air flow to small, dark spaces. With an airtight seal and weather stripping, these windows can be extremely energy efficient at the same time.

The interior top latch lock makes hopper windows incredibly secure. Since the window opens downwards, the glass pane is accessible from both sides for easy cleaning. With their smaller sizes, these hopper windows offer a lot of functionality for a very reasonable price.

Keep in mind that hopper windows typically open inward, so their placement will need to be carefully considered. From the interior, a hopper window will need room to open downward without obstruction. From the exterior, they will need to be placed in locations where there is additional protection from weather such as rain or snow.

Are hopper windows energy efficient?

Just like an awning or casement window, a hopper window’s construction makes it very energy-efficient. Since the window does not have any sliding tracks, there are fewer spots for potential air leaks.

Hopper windows also have an airtight seal when closed which eliminates drafts, keeps your home a comfortable temperature, and will help to lower energy bills.

How do hopper windows operate?

Hopper windows operate similarly to casements windows with a single sash that is hinged on one side and opens with a crank.

While casement windows are hinged on the side, hopper windows are hinged on the bottom.

Hopper windows are crank-operated and open from the top down, so you can keep them open without sacrificing privacy.

Where are the best places to install a hopper window?

Typically, hopper windows are found in these types of spaces:

  1. In addition to other windows, either above or below, to add better ventilation, light, or a visual aesthetic. 
  2. In tight spaces such as above kitchen sinks or counter tops, bathrooms above shower or tubs, or in basements where any window option must be installed higher up. 
  3. In any area that may require slightly more privacy than a larger window will allow. 

As always, keep in mind that operating a hopper window will require access to the crank from the inside and unobstructed space for it to open. When working within certain limitations of space, you may want to consider an alternative window type.

What is the difference between a hopper window and an awning window?

Hopper windows and awning windows are very similar. They are both casement style windows with the sash attached to the frame by hinges.

The primary difference will be where the hinges are placed and how the window opens. For hopper windows, the hinges are on the bottom and the window opens down. On awning windows, the hinges are on the top and the window opens up.
