ABSTRACT:
The invention offers a suspended ceiling without an exposed framework. Lugs mounted on the back of the panel snap into a downward pointing "C" shaped channel which are mounted to the ceiling joists. This allows for ease of installation, removal for cleaning, and for easily changing the finish of the ceiling while maintaining a very short distance. Pre-spaced mounts for the channels ensure ease of installation with a minimum of work and skill and ensure a close fit of the panels. Optionally, an electrical system can be employed which places an outlet within easy reach of every ceiling panel. Panels equipped with an electrical device including lighting fixtures, fans, speakers, smoke alarms, or home security sensors can thus be easily installed and readily moved as the furnishings of the room change, with seasonal variations, or just to add a bit of variety.
Because no external frame is used, the invention also permits the use of non-rectangular panels which allows the user to custom design his ceiling pattern. The invention thus provides a highly versatile ceiling which is easy to install, maintain, and change.
