CM? at the roof? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Steve Leyton Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 9:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Carpet Pad Storage
If I'm not mistaken, the carpet padding takes you out of ESFR right away because of inherent obstruction within the array (no longitudinal flues possible). And portable racks are a challenge to in-racks, I suppose ... We've done probably 4 or 5 warehouses that were either dedicated to or had significant flooring inventories, including and especially rolled carpets and pads and all have used CM at the roof with in-racks. One of them actually started under an ESFR system that we deconstructed and converted back to spray sprinklers, in order to get to the in-rack arrangement.

They would probably have something to say about it. I'd start there.
