Good morning list! We're in the process of gearing up for a move into new space and had a couple of questions. 1. What's the current favored system for fire suppression? I remember a big debate re. dry pipe vs. wet pipe but not the outcome as to which was better for use around mixed collections. Also - is there a system that's triggered by heat in the area and starts only the sprinklers in the effected area? 2. It also appears that we'll have concrete flooring, pouered in approximately the 1970s. The archivtect is talking about staining and sealing it; any recommendations for stains and sealers with minimal off-gasing? Because we will need to be out of our current space and into the new by the end of October, we'll likely have only minimal time available to accommodate off-gasing.
