Basement Hopper Windows in Dry Run

Dry Run's homes in 45244 spread across the east side hills, where full basements are the norm and their small windows do the venting. A basement hopper tilts in to move that air and locks tight against the cold. Call (513) 657-2471.

Basement Hopper Windows for Dry Run homes

Dry Run sits in the rolling east-side terrain around 45244, where homes were built with full basements dug into the hillside. Those below-grade block openings carry the job of venting the basement, but the original steel or aluminum windows rust, stick, and leak air after a couple of decades. When they fail, the basement holds its damp and the cold rolls in every winter.

Our basement hopper windows are custom-fit to those hillside block openings so they seal instead of gap. The bottom-hinged sash tilts inward to vent stale air and clean from inside, and triple-pane Low-E glass with argon keeps the below-grade wall from radiating cold. The multi-chamber vinyl frame is fusion-welded for damp basements and won't rust like the metal unit before it.

Basement Windows

Built Tough for Below Grade

A hopper is essentially an awning flipped upside down — it hinges at the bottom and opens inward from the top. That makes it ideal for basements, where it vents moist air, cleans easily from inside, and seals tight against drafts and pests.

Want the bigger picture? Pair it with replacement windows or a new entry door, and ask about rolling it into one 0%-for-24-months project. For efficiency ratings, the Energy Star program is a good reference.

Common questions

Basement Hopper Windows FAQs

Our Dry Run house is built into the hill and the basement window is mostly below grade. Does a hopper still work there?

It's the right style for exactly that. A hopper tilts inward from the bottom, so it opens into the basement rather than needing outside clearance you don't have below grade. We fit it to your block opening and seal it against the ground water that comes with a hillside foundation.

What is a hopper window?

A window hinged at the bottom that tilts inward at the top to open. It’s the standard style for basement and other small below-grade openings.

Do hopper windows keep water out?

When closed they seal tight against the frame. We also flash the opening properly so wind-driven rain and ground moisture stay outside.

Can hopper windows be an egress exit?

Standard hoppers are usually too small for egress. If you need a code-compliant basement egress window, we can spec one — just ask at the consultation.
