Insulation is not a typical property of metals. Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, meaning they do not provide good insulation and instead allow heat or electricity to transfer through them easily. Materials that are good insulators, like wood or plastic, are used to prevent heat or electricity from passing through.
