Am about to fix parana pine window board to kitchen, 1.8m long by225mm deep. Is it OK to secure it with no-nails, or similar, to thescreed where the old tiles were fixed? It will not be rebated intothe wall as in new build, or fixed to the window frame, althoughwill be tiles down to it at both ends.In addition, at either end where there is a 50mm return in front ofthe wall, is it advisable to allow 8mm or so clearance behind theseto slide tiles behind the wood, or cut the wood flush with the wall,and cut tiles to fit round the bullnose ends?Any advice much appreciated.

It depends on the material of the window board.

I did one once with car body filler. No problems at all.

When I left the (rented) property some years later it was still the best window board in the house..
