Disclosed is a suspended ceiling system, a securing member, and process of installing a patterned suspended ceiling system. The suspended ceiling system includes a grid system having first members and second members, and at least one substrate which extends below the grid system. The at least one substrate has an exposed surface and a concealed surface, and the at least one substrate has first sides and second sides which extend between the exposed surface and the concealed surface. Securing members attach to the concealed surface proximate the first sides, and the securing members have grid engagement members which secure the at least one substrate to the grid system. The securing members cooperate with the first members and the second members of the grid system to properly position the substrate and the spacing between adjacent at least one substrates is controlled.

1. A suspended ceiling system, the system comprising: a grid system having first members and second members, the first and second members arranged in an intersecting pattern;at least one substrate which extends below the grid system, the at least one substrate having an exposed surface and a concealed surface, the at least one substrate having first sides and second sides which extend between the exposed surface and the concealed surface;securing members attached to the concealed surface proximate the first sides, the securing members having grid engagement members which secure the at least one substrate to the grid system, wherein each of the securing members cooperates with both the first members and the second members of the grid system to properly position the substrate;the securing members further comprising positioning members, the grid engagement members extending from an upper end of the positioning members, the grid engagement members comprising clip portions, the first members of the grid system comprising head portions that slidably nest within the clip portions of the securing members, and the positioning members abutting flanges of the first members and flanges of the second members;whereby spacing between adjacent ones of the at least one substrate is controlled. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first members comprise upstanding walls, the head portions of the first members forming upper edges of the upstanding walls. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the securing members are attached to the at least one substrate so that the clip portions of all of the securing members attached to the at least one substrate face the same direction. 4. The system of claim 1, comprising a plurality of the substrates secured to the grid system by the securing members in a staggered arrangement. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the substrate weighs between about 2 pounds per square foot and about 3 pounds per square foot. 6. A securing member for a suspended ceiling system, the securing member comprising: a grid engagement member configured for securing to a grid system, wherein the grid engagement member comprises a clip portion configured to slidably receive a head portion of a first member of the grid system for nesting therein;a positioning member configured for alignment with the grid system, the positioning member comprising a front side and a rear side opposite the front side, the grid engagement member extending from an upper end of the positioning member;a mounting flange configured for attachment to a substrate, the mounting flange comprising a front flange extending from the front side of the positioning member and a rear flange extending from the rear side of the positioning member;wherein the mounting flange includes at least three support points configured in a triangular relation for attachment to the substrate, wherein at least one of the three support points is located on the front flange and at least another one of the three support points is located on the rear flange; andwherein the grid engagement member further comprises a first offset portion coupled to the positioning member and extending oblique to the positioning member, the clip portion coupled to the first offset portion, and a second offset portion coupled to the clip portion and extending oblique to the positioning member. 7. The securing member of claim 6, wherein a longitudinal axis of the grid engagement member is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the positioning member. 8. The securing member of claim 6, wherein the rear flange is formed from a portion of the positioning member via punching. 9. The securing member of claim 6, wherein the ratio of the width of the grid engagement member to the width of the positioning member is between about ¼ and about 1/2 . 10. The securing member of claim 6, wherein the securing members are configured to support between about 5 pounds and about 6 pounds of weight force received from the substrate.
