Abstract

See full text

A ceiling system comprises a pair of spaced overhead longitudinal grid support members and a light-weight ceiling panel suspended therefrom. The panel may be an acoustical honeycomb panel in one embodiment. Localized elongated reinforced areas or sections are formed on the top facing which support a plurality of hangers mounted on each section. The reinforced sections coincide in arrangement with the layout of the support members and structurally strengthen the top facing in select areas. In one embodiment, each reinforced section may comprise a stiffening spline attached to the top facing. The ceiling panel is hung from the grid support members via the hangers and reinforced sections. Fasteners may be used to attach the hangers to the reinforced sections which resist pullout when the panel is hung. In certain embodiments, the reinforced sections extend longitudinally through a central portion of the panel to prevent sagging between the panel sides.
