Default Radiant Floor heating - nonliquid?

I see a lot of "Radiant Floor Heating" with a rubbery tubing stapled under

they don't use some compresses gas instead?

Mind you, I have even had experience with central venting "leaking": I
haven't used a/c since my folks died but my uncle's a/c duct sweats onto my
ceiling. That's the price for freeloading (hot air rises) off his a/c.


Non liqued, yes its called forced air with ducts.

A miserable form of heating IMHO.

You can get electric radiant heating mats.
