    What is a Hopper Window?

    Hopper windows are bottom-hinged units that open inward from the top, making them an ideal solution for basements, bathrooms, and compact spaces.

    With energy-efficient double or triple-pane options and durable vinyl frames, hopper windows deliver reliable performance in Canadian climates where moisture control and insulation are essential.

    Why Choose Hopper Windows
