Window Coverings for Hopper Windows
Are you in the process of choosing new basement window treatments? If you’ve got hopper windows in your basement, we’ve got everything you need to know about this unique style of residential window at SunGard Window Fashions. Our team can even show you how to dress them with the latest Hunter Douglas window coverings for hopper windows.
What Are Hopper Windows?
Hopper windows are recognizable by a few key features. First, they open inward instead of casement windows that open by pushing out, double-hung windows that slide up or down, or sliding windows that open by moving left or right. Hopper windows can be bottom-hung, opening from the bottom up, or top-hung, opening from the top down. They’re also generally rectangular, with the longer sides running parallel to the floor.
Hopper windows provide natural sunlight and airflow for spatially disadvantaged rooms, so they’re often found in basements, laundry rooms, or bathrooms. Natural sunlight has an opening effect in these rooms, helping to make them feel larger.
Best Window Coverings for Hopper Windows
Here are some of the best window coverings for hopper windows:
Motorized Shades
One major reason we like using a motorized operating system like the award-winning PowerView® Automation on basement window treatments is that the remote operation allows homeowners to control the treatment without walking all the way down into the basement.
Instead, you can control your motorized basement shades with an online app, home assistant programs, or integration into smart home programs.
Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades
If you have hopper windows in your basement, the Hunter Douglas Top-Down/Bottom-Up system can be ideal. It allows shades to open from the top down or bottom up, mirroring the two-hinge style of hopper windows.
This unique style of operating system is available on many styles of Hunter Douglas basement window treatments, including:
- Duette® Cellular Shades.
- Vignette® Roman Shades.
- Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades.
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.
Cellular Shades
Whether you have a finished or unfinished basement, insulating shades can be worth the investment to help stabilize the basement environment and minimize the energy you’re losing through uncovered hopper windows.
That’s why Duette® Cellular Shades are some of the most popular basement window treatments from Hunter Douglas, as their insulating ability is unmatched.
Window Films
Window films are an alternative window covering for hopper windows. They’re a great space-conscious option, fitting directly into the window, and can offer many of the same benefits as traditional window treatments without taking up space.
Like any basement window treatment, window films offer multiple opacities and designs so you can customize the style to suit your aesthetic. They also help homeowners control sunlight, fight against UV damage, and safeguard privacy.
