Described herein is a method of installing a ceiling system comprising adhesively bonding together a ceiling panel and a magnetic attachment element to form a ceiling panel assembly, magnetically coupling the ceiling panel assembly to at least one suspended support element; and wherein the ceiling panel and the magnetic attachment element are adhesively bonded together a the time of installation.

A support member for a suspended drywall ceiling grid system includes a central web formed of two layers of sheet metal having first and second ends, a reinforcement bulb extending from an upper portion of the central web between the first and second ends, opposed flanges extending from a lower portion of the central web between the first and second ends, first and second end connectors integral with the central web and extending from the first and second ends of the central web, respectively, past the flanges, each of the opposed flanges having an upper surface and a knurled lower surface between the central web and a rolled edge portion, and each rolled edge portion having an initial region tilted downward and outward and extending into a curved region, wherein the curved region is rolled upward and inward and terminates in an outer edge toward the initial region.

A ceiling system which includes a substrate and securing members configured to engage a grid system to mount the substrate to the grid system. The securing members may include a mounting flange positioned with its bottom surface adjacent to the substrate. The mounting flange may be coupled to the substrate via fasteners. The securing members may further include a positioning member protruding from a top surface of the mounting flange and terminating in a distal edge. The positioning member may have a first side edge and a second side edge. The securing members may include a grid engagement member extending from the distal edge of the positioning member. The grid engagement member may be located centrally between the first and second side edges of the positioning member. The grid engagement member may have a U-shaped engagement portion configured to engage a grid member of the grid system.

A structural grid support system adapted for transferring seismic loads to the vertical structural supports of a modular structure. The system includes larger and longer high load capacity main runners with mechanically fastened cross tees, which transfer seismic forces without failing. The structural grid can provide a diaphragm using mechanically fastened connections in a single horizontal plane without requiring additional overhead support from the roof deck, or requiring fewer such supports. The main runners may include additional connecting elements disposed within the usable space beneath the runner (e.g., ventral threaded receivers) for attaching deployment-specific equipment or hardware, such as network cable trays.

A structure-lining apparatus comprising a plurality of transversely and longitudinally extending panels connectable to a structure and connectable edge-to-edge via complementary connector components on their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises transversely extending edges generally orthogonal to their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises first and second complementary connector components on first and second longitudinally extending edges thereof. The apparatus comprises at least one edge-to-edge connection between a first connector component of a first panel and a second connector component of a second panel wherein a primary male connector component of the second connector component of the second panel is extended into a primary female connector component of the first connector component of the first panel and a secondary male connector component of the first connector component of the first panel is extended into a secondary female connector component of the second connector component of the second panel.

The invention concerns a suspended ceiling system for mounting ceiling tiles to a ceiling structure, said ceiling structure having a lower side from which the ceiling tiles are mounted, said ceiling tiles having an upper and a lower side, wherein at least two first hook profiles are provided on the lower side of the ceiling structure in parallel with a predetermined first distance; and at least two second hook profiles are provided on the upper side of each of the ceiling tiles in parallel with a second distance corresponding to the first distance, wherein said second hook profiles detachably engage the first hook profiles, whereby the ceiling tiles are hanging from the first hook profiles of the ceiling structure.

A ceiling system including a carrier component and at least one removably mounted thereto. The carrier component may extend along a first longitudinal axis and may have a body portion and a plurality of support members extending from the body portion in a spaced apart manner along the first longitudinal axis. The at least one panel may be removably mounted to the carrier component by simultaneous engagement with a first support member of the plurality of support members and a second support member of the plurality of support members. At least a portion of the first and second support members may be located within a cavity of the at least one panel when the at least one panel is mounted to the carrier component.

Ceiling tiles for drop ceilings are disclosed. The ceiling tiles have a main portion that is sized and adapted to fit within a grid of the drop ceiling, and a baffle that hangs down from the main portion. A sheet of tile material may have a plurality of fold lines defined in it that allow the sheet to fold in such a way as to define the main portion and the baffle. In the flat configuration, the sheet of tile material may have the dimensions of a standard drop ceiling tile; in the folded configuration, the ceiling tiles may also have standard ceiling-tile dimensions. A single ceiling tile may have two or more baffles, and those baffles may be staggered in position with respect to one another.

A multifunctional support assembly for use in a suspended ceiling system having a T-bar grid arrangement supporting ceiling tiles. The multifunctional ceiling support assembly comprises an elongate body having an elongate planar base portion having first and second lateral ends, first and second longitudinal ends, and a top plane; first and second connecting members each positioned at the first and second longitudinal ends of the elongate body and configured with support portions capable of attachment to the T-bar grid arrangement; and a third connecting member mounted on the top plane of the elongate body, the third connecting extends up from the elongate body and functions to separate and position ceiling tiles within the T-bar grid arrangement.

A ceiling panel having an upper face, a lower face opposite the upper face, and first through fourth edges having a first edge portion adjacent the upper face and a second edge portion below the first edge portion. Each of the first and second edges may have a tongue and each of the third and fourth edges may have a groove. The first edge portion of each of the third and fourth edges may include a first flange having a distal surface. The first edge portion of each of the first and second edges may include a first recess having a first recess wall surface. The first flange may nest within the first recess of an identical adjacent ceiling panel with the distal surface of the first flange of the ceiling panel being spaced from the first recess wall surface of the first recess of the identical adjacent ceiling panel.
