About Thermal Drop Away Ceiling Panels for Aisle Containment
Benefits Of The Cool Shield Drop-Away Ceiling Panels
The drop-away thermal panels enable the fire suppression system to work as designed. Some Fire Marshals may require including a smoke detector inside the contained area. However, adding a smoke detector is much easier than re-configuring the entire system. The panels are completely clear so that ambient light will keep the aisle well-lit for data center personnel, with easy access to lights or cable trays by simply removing frame panels that are in the way.
