French term or phrase: Protection haute
Hi, the article I'm translating is about installing a fire protection and sprinkler system in a shopping centre and they're talking about "protection haute et nappe basse", where for the "protection haute" they have sprinklers in the roof covering the whole shopping centre and for the "nappe basse" they have sprinklers within the false ceilings of the stores.

I've seen the Proz entry about "nappe de sprinklage sous plafond", so I'm using piping system for "nappe" in my context but I'm not sure of the industry jargon for the distinction between these two "haute" and "basse" systems.

Any help much appreciated.
