Acoustic Panels on Ceiling w/ Sprinklers

13R not applicable this would have to be a 13 system and if the poster puts combustible material up to obstruct the existing protection scheme (hopefully complaint) there will be issues with concealed combustible space and obstruction issues. This poster should hire the sprinkler firm of record redesign the area but that would probably not be feasible. Therefore, liability is a mother and I would strongly recommend having the owner sign off on any renovation that will affect the fire protection system required for the building. Bad things happen and if the alteration is not to code, a guy like me will have a field day with a loss and non-complaint system.
