Dakota Panels are designed for easy, secure installation. Mount them directly to the ceiling using heavy-duty construction adhesive in combination with insulation stick pins. For ceilings with a corrugated metal deck, insulation pins are especially important to provide additional anchoring support.
Each panel measures 4′ x 8′, but they can be trimmed to size using a standard utility knife. Cut panels as needed and space them evenly across your ceiling for a clean, uniform look and consistent acoustic performance.
