Hopper Windows – Compact, Secure & Ventilation-Friendly Solutions

At Etobicoke Glass – Window & Door Services, we provide high-quality hopper window installation, repair, and replacement for homes and commercial spaces across Toronto. Designed to maximize airflow in compact areas, hopper windows are a smart choice for basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and utility spaces where moisture control and fresh air circulation are essential.

Hopper windows offer a clean, modern look while maintaining excellent insulation, security, and long-term durability—making them one of the most practical small-window options for Toronto homeowners.

What Is a Hopper Window?

A hopper window is a compact window that opens inward from the top, creating a downward tilt. The sash is hinged at the bottom, allowing the upper portion to swing inward for ventilation.

This design helps to:

Improve airflow
Prevent rain entry
Reduce humidity and musty odours
Provide excellent security
Make cleaning easy from inside

Because hopper windows open inward, they are ideal for below-grade rooms or areas where outdoor obstructions make other window styles difficult to operate.

Benefits of Hopper Windows

1. Exceptional Ventilation

The inward tilt opens up airflow, helping remove moisture, odours, and stale air—especially helpful in basements and bathrooms.

2. Space-Saving Compact Design

These windows fit perfectly in small or narrow wall openings, providing functionality without occupying much space.

3. Improved Energy Efficiency

Hopper windows seal tightly when closed, minimizing drafts and heat loss. Optional Low-E glass and insulated frames offer strong thermal performance.

4. Superior Security

The inward-opening design and multi-point locking system make hopper windows more secure than typical basement windows.

5. Easy Cleaning & Low Maintenance

The tilt-in sash allows homeowners to safely clean the glass from inside, even in hard-to-reach areas.

6. Weather-Resistant Seal

The compressed seal provides excellent protection against rain, wind, and moisture infiltration.
