Maybe some mention of corrosion resistant heads? Stainless steel/plated heads (reliable has some kind of new Teflon based coating that is supposed to be the bee's knees)

And I don't think all-in-all custom colors are expensive. Contractor cost was a few hundred per color set up and $15 extra a head ish? Keep the thoughts coming.

For example we sprinklered the Ct Basie Theatre, a historic property. 30 or so custom colors, try finding the heads in the domed ceiling.

The talk is on the IBC advantages and allowances with sprinklers. For example, bigger and less costly construction when sprinklered. One thing I want to also spend a very short time on is dispelling two myths, all sprinklers operate and aesthetics. I realize there are many myths and that could be a presentation in itself. With a short window in the presentation I think all going off is a big one and aesthetics, well who but architects push the most on this? I think I have the videos covered for how sprinklers do and don't operate. Any further info I'd consider. What I'm really lacking is on the aesthetics. If you have any pictures of the work you are proud of where you hid the sprinklers from view effectively I'd love to show some. About all I can do is give your company credit in the presentation. This is someplace north of 100 architects from the greater Minnesota area. So that's your marketing target.
