I see a lot of "Radiant Floor Heating" with a rubbery tubing stapled
under the floor. SInce I tend to be in horror of any kind of leaks,
I wonder why they don't use some compresses gas instead?


I've wondered about leaks myself. I think the tubing is pretty
thick walled and a decent quality plastic such as polypropylene.


And they are usually organised so the joints arent in the floor proper.


AIUI they avoid that specifically.
