Hopper Window Installation & Replacement
Hopper windows are a practical and efficient window solution, perfect for areas where ventilation, moisture control, and security are essential. At Milton Glass Repair – Windows & Doors Services, we provide expert hopper window repair, replacement, and installation services for both residential and light commercial properties.
Designed for compact or below-grade spaces, hopper windows offer reliable airflow while maintaining excellent insulation and durability. Their inward-opening design makes them ideal for basements, utility rooms, bathrooms, and other tight spaces where outward-opening windows aren’t practical. Properly installed hopper windows improve indoor air quality, reduce humidity, and enhance comfort throughout the year.
What Is a Hopper Window?
Hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and open inward from the top. When opened, the upper sash tilts into the room, allowing fresh air to flow downward while maintaining a secure and space-efficient design.
This inward-opening configuration ensures:
Tight sealing when closed for energy efficiency
Reliable ventilation when open
Enhanced security, especially for basement and low-level installations
Homeowners choose hopper windows for their combination of practicality, insulation, and secure design.
Key Benefits of Hopper Windows
Excellent Ventilation in Compact Areas
Hopper windows effectively remove trapped moisture and stale air, making them ideal for basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and utility areas.
Space-Saving Design
Their inward-tilting operation allows installation in narrow or tight wall spaces without interfering with exterior walkways or structures.
Energy-Efficient Performance
Modern hopper windows feature insulated frames, multi-pane glass, and Low-E coatings, creating a strong seal that reduces drafts and heat loss.
Enhanced Security
The inward-opening design makes it harder for intruders to access from the outside. Combined with high-quality locking hardware, hopper windows provide added protection.
Easy Cleaning & Low Maintenance
Tilting inward allows safe cleaning from inside the home. Durable materials like vinyl and composite resist moisture, rot, and wear, requiring minimal upkeep.
Weather-Resistant Durability
Designed to withstand rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations, hopper windows maintain reliable performance with minimal air and water infiltration.

Bathrooms
Laundry and utility rooms
Garages and storage spaces
