Abstract:
A ceiling system in one embodiment includes an overhead support grid comprised of a plurality of intersecting grid support members and a ceiling tile mountable to the grid. Retaining clips support the ceiling tile from the grid which may be concealed from view. The retaining clips each include a cavity that receives a grid support member and a pair of resilient mounting elements configured to lockingly engage a support member. The mounting elements are laterally movable in response to inserting the support member into the cavity of the retaining clip. In one embodiment, the movable elements include locking tabs which create a snap-fit interlock with the grid support member for securing the ceiling tile to the grid.

Claim (Index 66):
A method for facing a ceiling system, the method comprising:\n mounting an orthogonal array of ceiling panels to ceiling support structure, each ceiling panel including a width, a length, top and bottom surfaces, a pair of opposed longitudinal peripheral edges, and a pair of opposed lateral peripheral edges; forming a plurality of longitudinal joints between laterally adjoining peripheral edges of the ceiling panels; and bonding a final facing to the bottom surfaces of the ceiling panels, the facing having a continuous length in at least one direction covering and concealing the plurality of the longitudinal joints, wherein the facing has a width larger than at least one of the width and length of the ceiling panels.
