Claim Text:
1. A ceiling system comprising: a longitudinally extending grid support member including a longitudinal axis and a substantially horizontal bottom surface; a ceiling panel supported by the grid support member; a first facing sheet having a flat body defined by a top planar surface, a bottom planar surface opposite the top planar surface, and peripheral edges that extend between the top and bottom planar surfaces, the top and bottom planar surfaces terminating at the peripheral edges, the peripheral edges collectively defining a perimeter of the flat body of the first facing sheet, the top planar surface comprising a peripheral edge portion adjacent the perimeter; and a coupling mechanism attached to the bottom surface of the grid support member, the coupling mechanism coupling the peripheral edge portion of the top planar surface of the first facing sheet to the bottom surface of the grid support member so that the first facing sheet is supported from the bottom surface of the grid support member; wherein the bottom surface of the first grid support member is at least partially concealed by the first facing sheet, wherein the peripheral edge extends past the coupling mechanism.
