Basement Hopper Window
Our American made vinyl hopper windows combine durability, energy efficiency, and modern design to deliver long-lasting performance and comfort.
Constructed from virgin PVC vinyl, a high-quality material that provides exceptional strength and durability. Unlike recycled vinyl, virgin PVC is free from impurities, ensuring a consistent, long-lasting frame that resists cracking, fading, and warping. This premium material makes maintenance easy while delivering a clean, polished look that stands up to the elements and keeps your home looking beautiful for years to come.
Multi-chamber frames are engineered with multiple internal walls that create separate cavities within the vinyl. This design not only increases the overall strength and rigidity of the window but also improves insulation by trapping air within each chamber. The result is a window that resists warping, maintains its shape over time, and helps keep your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.
The corners are fusion welded as opposed to mechanically fastened which use screws. Fusion welded frames and sashes will never come apart, increasing lifespan and efficiency, whereas mechanically fastened corners are prone to movement and separation over time.
High-performance insulated glass units with Intercept spacers improve energy efficiency and reduce condensation between the panes. Standard clear glass provides excellent clarity and durability, while optional upgrades such as Low-E coatings or privacy glass are available to further enhance thermal performance and help manage heat gain.
Roll-formed aluminum frame screens are available as an option. Standard mesh netting keeps out mosquitos while metal netting provides enhanced security.
The optional nailing flange is typically used in new construction but in some cases can be used for replacement installs depending on the circumstance. The flange is attached to the frame and is 1.75". Flange is not incorporated in the measurements you provide when ordering.
Manufacturing:
The manufacturing process typically takes 4-8 weeks with most orders being completed in 5 weeks. In some cases we can expedite and have orders ready within 2-3 weeks(usually for an additional fee). Some sizes are in stock and ready to ship immediately.
Shipping:
Windows are shipped from our warehouse in New Jersey. Shipping duration varies based on your location but its typically 2-5 days once they leave our facility. Larger windows need to go via van and may take longer.
Pick Up:
If you are within our local pick up zone, you are more than welcome to pick up your Windows at our Warehouse in Woodland Park, NJ. Windows are typically ready for pickup within 24 hours of completion. We will notify you via email when your order is ready to be picked up.

Measuring
Measuring hopper windows is the same process as measuring any other style of window. The measurements you submit to us will be the exact size of the window, not the rough opening. In other words a window 15x25 will measure 15" from outside edge of the frame to outside edge of the frame. Here is a guide with further details that may assist you.
How To Install Your Custom Basement Window
Installation
There are several methods of installation that can be utilized. Since most basements are masonry, the most common technique is to build a frame of wood and attach that to the masonry. Then the window can be installed within the window frame. You can also attach these windows directly into the masonry. This method will allow for more viewable glass but the installation may be more difficult. The following guide has more details on installation.
Window Features
Multi-Chamber Frame
3 1/4″ thick frame ensures strength and stability
Patented Water Drainage
The sloped sill allows water to drain away from the building
Fusion Welded Corners
Frames are welded(rather than screwed) together for extra rigidity
High Quality Screen
Multiple Screen options including Standard Fiber or Aluminum Security Screen
High Quality Vinyl Frames
- Vinyl windows are the low-maintenance choice for residential use.
- Our vinyl compound is uniquely formulated to withstand the harsh effects of weather, UV light and southern exposure.
- Pharmaceutical-grade compounding & blending systems provide consistency, so you can reply on superior color and weatherability.
- Our Vinyl meets or exceeds the standards for strength and color retention established by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA)
Double Pane Glass
- 7/8" thick insulated glass units, thicker than many other windows on the market.
- The panes are separated by a a warm edge intercept spacer that minimizes heat transfer at the edges of the glass, reducing condensation and enhancing the overall thermal performance of the window.
- Clear glass is standard with optional upgrades including low-e with argon gas fill which enhances energy efficiency, privacy glass and tempered glass.
Upgrade Your Glass
Low-E w/Argon
Low E is a metallic coating on the glass that repels 95% of UV rays. Argon Gas helps keep the warmth inside and reduces the amount of noise outside.
Privacy Glass
For privacy with ample light, these glass styles enhance bathrooms and other spaces, eliminating the need for additional window coverings.
Tempered Glass
For stronger windows add Tempered Glass. Tempered Glass is about 4 times stronger than our regular glass options and won't shatter if broken.
Other Window Options
Window Screen
Standard fiberglass mosquito netting or aluminum screen for enhanced strength and security.
Nailing Flange
Optional nailing flange ensures secure installation and forms a weather-tight seal.
Internal Grids
Grids are between the glass giving the look of a divided lite with an easy to clean glass surface.
Internal Grid Designs
Contoured Grids
Contoured grids have a raised or three-dimensional profile, mimicking divided panes for a classic look.
Flat Grids
Flat grids are flush with the glass, offering a simpler and more modern appearance.
