I have a church being built with a large auditorium. There will be an open ceiling exposing the roof structure: metal trusses with a plywood roof decking. For sound deadening, there are installing "lapendary panels" as seen here: http://www.mbiproducts.com/products/photos.aspx?ProductID=4000-1010P The most appropriate photo is in the second column, 3rd photo down from the top. The "fabric" panels will run essentially parallel to the roofline - between the trusses.
We are looking at the best way to sprinkler the room. Do we install sprinklers below the panels or above or both? Our concerns are that sprinklers above will be obstructed by the panels and/or sprinklers below might not collect enough heat to fuse the sprinklers. Any thoughts?
