Basement Hopper vs Awning Window: What’s the Difference?
Both basement hopper and an awning windows are hinged on the horizontal edge, but awning windows installed with the hinge at the top and open from the bottom, while hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and open at the top.
Also, awning windows, like casements, open away from the home using a crank-style handle, while basement hopper windows tilt into the room. As their name suggests, basement hopper windows work best in basements, and are generally smaller in size than awning windows. Neither awning nor hopper windows should be used for egress in case of emergency, but both are able to brighten and ventilate your home.
