Paint Store Use Group Question

[mark handler]

Don't be bashing Sherwin-Williams. They spent over $500K in fire testing in the legacy Uniform Fire Code era providing substantiated fire tests that were the basis for the Group M occupancy fire protection requirements in the IFC.Actually, let me rephrase my response: it's inappropriate to resurrect old fire photos and apply it to a corporation who has very responsible fire protection practices.

No it is not just SW, and not just old pictures
