A breathable 34 0 perms but waterproof membrane like siga majcoat membrane and elevating the standing seam metal roof off of the decking to allow any water than may be in the osb sheathing to dry.
Permeable seamless roof surface.
In this particular job the roof is vented.
Consider permeable paving in large walkways or driveways and make sure that a 6 inch gravel bed is immediately below the porous material.
The new standing seam metal roof is to be installed over the existing 1x4 skip sheathing so no solid roof deck.
Regardless of your roofing underlayment choice your insulated roof assembly will not dry to the exterior unless the roofing is vapor permeable.
After all water can gather under an existing roof surface and then over time erode and ruin the roofing components underneath the surface layer.
From the top down there are four layers to permeable paving.
Seamless roof coating solutions take care of this immediately though in many cases.
Even smaller roof leaks can lead to bigger problems if they are left untended.
Any moisture driven up from the attic will condense on the underlayment underside.
But the attic floor air seal is terrible there s a huge attic stair that leaks like a sieve.
Many types of roofing including epdm and standing seam steel roofing are virtually impermeable to water vapor.

These steel purlins are also used in steel sided buildings that have osb wall sheathing.
With the new seamless barrier.
Each of these different layers acts as a filtration system to clean storm water.
Permeable surfaces also known as porous or pervious surfaces allow water to percolate into the soil to filter out pollutants and recharge the water table.
Asphalt shingles are a little bit permeable in windy conditions but not very.
