A panel is received within each of the recessed areas and attached to the profiled panel defining a cavity. Each cavity is defined by at least a portion of the rib and the panel, respectively. The cavity is adapted to receive a tip of a fastener passing through the rib. The fastener is used to secure roofing material to an upper surface of the decking when used to form a roof.
