There's 5 levels to a drywall finish. Level 5 would be considered the highest level finish, the most comprehensive finish. Think about any joint, any fastener that goes into the drywall would be fully finished with compound with a finish that would ensure that it was smooth. Completely smooth silky finish, all, all the joints and fasteners have joint compound on it. And I would say that we only see level 5 finishes in very high commercial spaces and luxury apartment complexes. So think about multifamily for the higher the rent, the higher the level of finish Level 5 is typically which you'll also find in a museum, et cetera. Now when is it important to have a level 5? I would argue it's important in a well lit area, so if you have natural lighting. Coming in, you're going to see the imperfections of the surface, so you'd want to increase the level of finish. That would be 1. I would consider also if you're finishing your product with a very dark color, you're going to see the imperfections more, which would justify a level 5 finish. And then finally, any type of specialized wall covering that would follow us. If it's a high end wallpaper that would go on the wall, we would have to finish it at. A level 5 to prepare for that so that their solution could be as best as possible.

NFPA 13 : Extended coverage sprinklers: [Post 2024/001] Extended coverage sprinklers are specifically listed to allow for larger protection areas per sprinkler than standard spray sprinklers. They are available in upright, pendent, and sidewall orientations. Extended coverage upright and pendent sprinklers are designed to have a greater water distribution radius than standard sprinklers and can be spaced up to a maximum of 20 ft apart, depending on the hazard and construction type. • Can only be installed with unobstructed smooth, flat ceilings, with some bar joists or roof trusses - except where listed for other construction types or conditions
