I am planning on putting a drop ceiling in a commercial space in Oakland. There are already sprinklers in the space. I don't want to drop down sprinklers so I was thinking of getting drop out tiles. I was looking at Ceilume tiles. On their page they say that they are rated Class A and UL94 V-0. They also have several certificates. Here is the website if you want to reference it. Would I be able to use these tiles and not have to drop down sprinklers?
I tried contacting the fire engineer in Oakland city dep, but he said that for drop out tiles I will still need to drop the sprinklers. Although, at first I didn't provide him the details on the drop out tiles. But now that I have, he stopped responding.. So I'm trying to get an expert opinion on this. Does anyone know what part of the code this would be under?
