Why do we insulate our lofts?
We insulate lofts because heat rises, so if you dont insulate the loft all the heat will escape. So if you put the heating on, and your loft is insulated, the heat will rise but stay in and not escape.
Can wood insulate heat?
yes, if you believe
Is plastic a better insulator than metal?
No, it is not. Metals conduct heat much better than most plastics. However, if the metal is used as a reflector of radiated heat, it will insulate better than plastic would.
Why can lead conduct heat?
All metals conduc heat; two theories were involved for the explanation:- heat conduction by hypothetic phonons (excited states in metals structures) in metals- heat conducton by "hot" electrons moving in metals
Heat conduction is most efficient in metals nonmetallic metals water or gases?
metals
What metals insulate electricity?
Metals actually conduct electricity, not insulate them. Some metals conduct better than others, but the point is that metals don't insulate heat or electricity at all.Glucose rubber cold glass and water
Why do we insulate our lofts?
We insulate lofts because heat rises, so if you dont insulate the loft all the heat will escape. So if you put the heating on, and your loft is insulated, the heat will rise but stay in and not escape.
Do table mats insulate or conduct heat?
They would normally insulate the table from the heat of the plate, otherwise there isn't much point having them!
Is metal or rubber good insulators?
Metals are conductors, Rubber is an insulator. Different grades of rubber and dimensions (thickness) insulate to different degrees. This applies to both heat and electricity
What is post insulator and explanation on it?
insulate heat
Can wood insulate heat?
yes, if you believe
Characteristics of metalloids?
Metalloids, also called semimetals, have the characteristics of both metals and non-metals. Three characterics of metalloids are insulate, conduct electricity, and its elements are Silicon and Boron.
Is plastic a better insulator than metal?
No, it is not. Metals conduct heat much better than most plastics. However, if the metal is used as a reflector of radiated heat, it will insulate better than plastic would.
Why does an oven glove insulate you from heat?
because it is not made of plastic or metal.
What will insulate better a foam or paper?
foam has better heat retention
Can sponge insulate heat?
Yes, because of the voids (air spaces).
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
