One side is fine.  Actually don't even need the studs down.

Subject: Draft curtain
Importance: High

We have a project that we are demo'ing a pipe schedule system and installing a 
ESFR system for storage. There is an adjacent area of the building that will 
have a pipe schedule system w/standard response sprinklers in it. Per
NFPA13 2007 8.4.6.4 the owner will provide a draft curtain since a wall is out 
of the question in this area. The draft curtain will be 2'-0 down from the deck 
constructed of non-combustible materials and sealed at the deck (probably smoke 
caulk). The owner is going to provide a 4'-0 clear aisle centered on the 
curtain (2'-0 each way). The contractor plans on using metal studs and roof 
decking material for the curtain. The question is, do the studs have to be 
covered each side or is putting the decking on one side sufficient? I didn't 
see anything as far as thickness of curtain or that would lead me to believe it 
would have to be covered each side. 

 

Thank you,
