Cloud ceilings, which are panels separated by gaps that sit beneath the structural ceiling of a room or space, provide challenges to sprinkler protection.
Section 1.2.1 of National Fire Protection Association 13, “Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems,” states the purpose of the standard is to “provide a reasonable [emphasis added] degree of protection for life and property from fire through standardization of design, installation and testing requirements for sprinkler systems.”
Fire protection systems are a critical part of commercial, industrial, retail and industrial buildings. When called upon in a fire event, the equipment will save lives and reduce property damage.
Cloud ceilings are being installed increasingly in commercial and industrial buildings. They frequently function to hide mechanical equipment, improve acoustics or both.
