The key word in there is "noncondensing", which isn't likely to be the case
part of the time, unless you do something about it. Corrosion could be a
real problem. The easiest way to deal with it is to ensure that the loft
is ventilated, but a better way would be to use a dehumidifier. They're
not too expensive to run (at least, not compared to heating or air
conditioning) and you could run a short drain hose out of the dehumidifier
and out of the loft to dispose of the water.
