Do dry-lined walls need to be skimmed?
Dry-lined walls do not always need to be skimmed. One finishing option is tape and jointing, where the plasterboard joints, screw heads and internal corners are covered with tape and jointing compound. After several coats have dried and been sanded, the surface can be primed and painted. The alternative is to apply a thin plaster skim over the entire wall.
