Aluminum is a conductor and glass is an insulator.
Conductors allow the flow of energy transfer, but insulators block this transfer of energy. So by definition, Yes, aluminum conducts cold or heat(energy) transfer faster than glass.

Does concrete conduct cold?
Yes, concrete has form of "salvatory" element in it's mixture which can conduct heat or cold. Like on a sunny afternoon, the concrete becomes hot; likewise, on a cold night, the concrete becomes cold.
Why is your cold tap water misty?
Cold tap water is not itself misty. Rather, the cold temperature condenses water vapour in the air onto a conducting surface, such as a glass, a pipe, or a porcelain toilet tank.
How does double glazed windows increase energy efficiency?
Because the air trapped between the two panes of glass doesn't transfer hot and cold as rapidly as glass alone. When they add gas instead of regular air, the effect is greatly improved.
Why does the water become cold when filling the bath from your combination boiler?
Because you are using the Hot water faster than the boiler can produce it. Turn the tap/faucet off a bit. Get the proper sized boiler
What are cold conductors?
A cold conductor is the insilation for a cold object to keep the coolness inside and the warmess out.
Aluminum foil is it a cold conductor?
Things do not conduct cold, they conduct heat. Being a metal aluminum foil is both a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Moisture will form faster on a glass when?
When the air is humid and the glass is cold.
Why doesn't glass conduct heat?
GLASS DOES CONDUCT HEAT. It will take on the temperature around it. If you have a very hot drink inside a glass and you touch it, its going to feel very hot. If you have a very cold drink inside a glass and you touch it, it is going to feel very cold.
Will clay conduct cold?
Yes. Clay (if fired) will conduct cold in similar levels as glass, stone, or concrete. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity
Why do glass bottles hold soda cold longer than cans?
Drinks would stay cooler for a longer time if it is in a bottle. This is because bottles are insulators of heat. So they slow down the heat from reaching the liquid in it. As in cans, which are metal, they are conductors of heat. So heat penetrates easier to the liquid thus making the drink to loose it's coldness faster. So my bet is that drinks stay cooler in a bottle.
Which gets cold faster plastic or glass?
It depends on the composition of each of them.
What keep things colder aluminum foil or plastic wrap?
If the object is warm to begin with, aluminium foil, as it is a metal and so will conduct the heat out into the environment. (Metals feel cold because they are good conductors and so conduct the heat out of you when you touch them). If the object is cold to begin with, plastic wrap, as it is a poor donductor and will not allow heat from the environment to enter the object easily. (Plastics feel warm because they do not conduct the heat away when you touch them).
Is glass a thermal or electrical insulator?
Definitely an electrical insulator. Glass does not conduct electricity. It can be a thermal insulator, but not a great one. You windows on a cold day are pretty cold. Hot coffee in a mug will get the mug warm.
What is a example for conductivity?
Non Examples of conductivity are: plastic, aluminum, wood, etc. Plastic, aluminum and wood don't get cold really easly! By the way, things that have conductivity are things that conduct heat. Non Examples of conductivity are things that do not conduct heat. Hope this helped!(:
Are liquids colder in glass or alumminum?
The liquid itself is not colder, but the rate at which it heats up is faster in aluminum. Metal transfers heat a little better, and therefore the heat/ or cold from the liquid will transfer through it a little faster, to equalize with the surrounding atmosphere (outside, room temp. etc...). This is why it feels colder when held.
Do glass conduct heat?
Glass is not a good conductor of heat it is a neutral conductor. Meaning it is neither hot nor cold.
Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?
It depends If the water is cold and the temp of glass don;t matter than it is glass of cold water If the glass is cold and the temp of the water don't matter than it is cold glass of water People normally use glass of cold water
