Abstract
A ceiling system in one embodiment conceals the ceiling support structure to provide a monolithic ceiling appearance. The system includes the support structure and ceiling panels each having a top surface, bottom surface, and peripheral edges. In one embodiment, the peripheral edges of the panels may have a hybrid edge detail including a tongue-and-groove portion and a shiplap portion. The hybrid edges of adjoining panels are configured to both interlock via the tongue-and-groove edge features and hide the ceiling support structure via the shiplap edge features. This eliminates the need to secure all peripheral edges to the support structure for proper support. In one implementation, some but less than all peripheral edges may include mounting flanges for direct surface mounting of the panels to and hiding the support structure.
