Gas Pipe for Home

I am planning to move my Gas Cylinder (Currently its near the gas stove) to our store room so that I can change the Gas Cylinder in the store room itself. Is there any suggestion on what material to use for the Gas Pipe? It will be probably concealed inside the concrete floor. I've put an image for reference.

How much is the distance as I fear most of the gas might go waste in transit. This happened when my friend used a gas geyser while his cylinder was in balcony and he had some 7-8 mtr long pipe to deliver gas to the geyser.

As @blr_p suggested, it will have to be a metal pipe with flexible rubber hoses at both ends so that the cylinder in the store room or gas in the kitchen can be moved about.
It is better to have valves at both metal end points in the kitchen and the the store room so that you have an easy way to shutoff the gas supply in the kitchen itself when you are servicing / replacing.
The distance looks more than 8 ft from the map. 10ft in the kitchen + around 11 ft. in the store room + 2x8 ft. in the foyer. looks close to 40ft. Don't think PVC pipes would be suitable for gas.
Similar to water pipes, gas pipes have to have airtight connections sealed properly to prevent leakage.
Remember more the number of interconnections/elbow joints/valves etc. more the number of places that the gas can leak. Also at night we close the valve on the cylinder before going to sleep for safety purposes. If the cylinder is in a different room you will have to remember to shutoff the valve from that room. Also please do not conceal the pipes as finding any leaks would become very difficult.

My suggestion would be to catch hold of the HP/BP guy who comes to service the gas at home, give him some chai pani and ask him about this. This setup is similar to the one the restaurant/hotel kitchens have where the cylinders are kept outside for ease of access for replacing them when empty and he would be familiar with it.
Get this done from a professional.

Now a days in new apartment buildings, people are doing this type of arrangement. For ex. Cylinders will be kept in kitchen's wash area and piping is done till the stove which may or may net be concealed depending on customer's choice.

I suggested you try contacting professionals who does these type of jobs. They will have all the know-how.

These lpg hose pipings are steel reinforced, similar to what you might be using between ur stove and cylinder and will be ISO certified.
Try contracting Gas dealership shops and big carpenters who does full interior wood works for these gas pipe pros

problem is I'm In a remote area from NE and even the best houses are not doing these. There are probably 0 professionals here atm regarding these and their guesses are probably not better than mine.
 
Metal piping with valve at both end is the best bet and pipe should be painted just so everyone knows it is gas pipe....youtube can help better in this regard.....in cities this is normal.
