What is the significance of the tinned straneded copper wire?

Is it more conductive?  If so, why not just use a larger stranded copper?

The point of the tinned copper wire is corrosion resistance.  Plain copper wire would corrode and likely cause the system to fail over time.

It's also important because using anything other than tinned copper voids the system's warranty.

Studies from the "Sick Building Syndrome" show a direct relation between indoor climate and symptoms such as fatigue and headaches.  Research shows that thermic indoor climate is also related to productivity.  The level of comfort with radiant heat at lower temperatures increases productivity by 20-30%.
