We are in the process of a house remodel. We are planning to have an unvented roof (cathedral/vaulted ceilings). Our plan was to have standing seam metal roof over titanium psu 30 underlayment on roof decking then insulate the interior with closed cell spray foam. I am in climate zone 6a. We have been told we shouldn’t use the titanium psu30 on a non vented roof but also finding traditional felt isn’t a good option under metal. Is there another product we should look at? Is this configuration with closed cell spray foam correct? Any input would be appreciated.

I would suggest checking with local building code and also your roof manufacturer regarding their underlayment requirements. However, you should be fine with a quality synthetic underlayment -- one of the mechanically fastened ones rather than a self adhering product. Titanium makes such a product, and so do many others.
