Abstract
Foam plastic thermal insulations have substantially replaced traditional insulations in low sloped roofing systems in North America. Foam plastic thermal insulations used in low sloped roofs are low density (typically 16–48 kg/m3) materials with low permeability to air and water vapour. In many roofs these materials have been directly substituted for traditional (wood and glass fibre) insulations without due attention to the different material characteristics. Moist air movement within roofs,condensation protection (air and vapour barriers),steel deck corrosion,roof membrane blistering and roof traffic damage are discussed. This paper discusses protection of foam plastic thermal insulations in roofing systems, why the protection is needed,and what consequences result if these materials are not protected. Case studies demonstrate the importance of condensation protection in reducing corrosion of galvanized steel in roofs containing closed cell phenolic foam roof insulation in Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
