What Are the Different Types of Basement Window?
Whether designing a new home, remodeling, or simply installing replacement basement windows, the choice of windows is usually between three different types. These are hopper windows, slider windows and awning windows. Window wells and window bubbles are specialized options that may be used in conjunction with most basement windows. Hopper windows are basic, standard basement windows. This type of basement window hinges to the bottom of the window frame, and opens by tilting inward from the top. For this reason, the window screen on a hopper window is typically installed on the outside of the window frame. This is the least expensive type of basement window, but usually offers the widest range of options in sizes.
