    The snake cannot ever come into contact with the flexwatt and the flexwatt shouldn't get wet either. I would put the flexwatt under the tile then seal the tile. No matter what you do make sure the flexwatt is regulated by a quality thermostat.

    This is actually the designed use of flexwatt under floor heating I would follow the method laid out by the manufacturer. Tile will be very inefficient to heat though and if you have issues it beans massive rebuilding. I might suggest a RHP for the hot side temp control.
