High Quality Hopper Windows Near Newton, Needham, Wellesley

The purpose of hopper windows is primarily functional. They open inward from the top and feature a crank-style handle, similar to those found on casements, at the inside bottom that is used to open and close it. There's also a support that keeps the pane in place once the window has been opened so it doesn't slam shut due to wind gusts. A hopper window is an ideal choice for areas with limited space that require ventilation, such as garages, attics, bathrooms, and basements. Although their primary purpose may be functional, homeowners still desire hopper windows to look nice. Not to mention, a hopper window should be reliable, durable, and weather resistant.
