The attachment member comprising an elongate support element which is secured to the ceiling structure and which provides for attachment of a plurality of such flanged ceiling panels thereto so that the ceiling panels are supported thereby and are thus suspended from the ceiling structure. A plurality of pairs of attachment lugs are partially punched out of the support element to extend outwardly at an angle therefrom are disposed at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the support element so that the edges thereof engage the lateral flanges of a corresponding ceiling panel, and support the panel in a position wherein the panel extends traversely to the longitudinal axis of the support element and is spaced a predetermined distance from the adjacent panels and such that lugs additionally serve in guiding the ceiling panel into position during the installation thereof.
