Did you know that according to the building code you cannot have any paint, even over-spray, on the fire sprinkler heads in your condo unit?
The fire sprinkler system is made to distribute water throughout the open area it is located to suppress a fire. According to the national codes (NFPA 25), all sprinkler heads with any foreign material on their surface (paint, caulk, texture coating, etc.) are not up to code and must be replaced. So if you are considering painting your unit, especially your ceiling, may sure the painters know to not paint those sprinklers!
Do you have any helpful reminders that other owners should be aware about? Let us know and we can post them to the blog!
