Yes — sliding profiles are designed for track-gliding sashes, casement profiles for hinged sashes that seal against the frame. The system matches the action.
Casement systems seal tightest via multi-point locking against gaskets; sliding systems are good with quality interlocks.
Choose the window style for the opening's needs, and the matching profile system follows. We advise per opening.
