Yes. Insulation is used as filler between the flutes (or ridges) of the metal roof panels and then overlaid with a rigid board. Both layers may be mechanically attached or adhered to the metal panel roof. The EPDM membrane is then adhered to the rigid insulation or mechanically fastened to the structural purlins beneath the metal roof.
