One thing about concealed heads, pointed out to me be a very astute 
professional, is that practically these sprinklers become impaired in 
relatively short order.  Painters usually  don't care about the finer details 
of sprinklers.  They paint over the concealed heads.  The air gap is plugged.  
Activation is delayed.  With several layers I will guess delayed significantly. 
  If I was a owner depending on sprinklers for safety in my assembly occupancy 
or public spaces such as Marriott, and I was now armed with this information, I 
would think again about the aesthetics of concealed sprinklers.  Looks good on 
paper, but they don't give what you pay for.
