Drywall, which provides a smooth, flush wall throughout the house, is also beneficial when installed behind the stove and cabinets. While it’s possible to cut and install drywall later, to fit around the cabinets after they’re in place, you won’t get the same professional results.Click to see full answer. Simply so, is it necessary to paint behind kitchen cabinets?Paint functions as a barrier to stains, heat, humidity and moisture. Paint hinders mold and mildew in damp environments because the warm, dark areas behind cabinets create the conditions conducive to mold growth.One may also ask, do you have to paint drywall? After you’re done hanging drywall, and all the seams are taped and finished, you need two coats of paint to give the wall its final appearance. Before you apply those, however, you need to seal the drywall and mud with primer. You may get acceptable results by using self-priming wall paint. Keeping this in view, can you leave drywall unfinished? Drywall isn’t as durable as plaster, so it can’t be left unpainted. First of all, because drywall must be painted, you must use a low-tox paint. Second, you should use a low-tox joint compound.Do I have to prime new drywall?All new drywall should be primed with a primer or high solids flat latex. The drywall and the joint compound will absorb the paint differently. Yes, even the little bit covering the nails/screws. Primers will solve this.
