Why do floortiles feel cold?
Floor tiles absorb heat rapidly. This means that if you stand in bare feet on tiles, a lot of heat is drawn out of your foot. A carpet in comparison, absorbs heat slowly. This makes floor tiles feel colder that a carpet when they are actually the same temperature.
What type of tiles burn when a hairstraighener is put on it?
Vinyl tiles & Carpet tiles would all be damaged by a curling iron or any heat source over 160 degrees

Are shuttle heat tiles cool to the touch?
They normally feel neutral; neither hot nor cold. That's because in order to feel temperature, you're sensing the heat transfer. The Shuttle tiles were designed not to transfer any heat. Of course, in the hours after the Shuttle LANDED, they felt plenty hot.
How does carpet prevent heat loss?
carpet has fine fibres in it. heat travels upwards so when it does the carpet fibres traps the heat. The thicker the carpet the better.

How many heat resistant tiles are there on a space shuttle?
There is 25,000 tiles on a space shuttle.Thanks
Why are space shuttles white and not black?
It's hard to get rid of heat in space, usually. There's no air for convection or conduction. All that is left is radiating the heat away. So it is best to be able to avoid picking up even more heat. The black tiles are highly heat resistant and insulative. The white tiles reflect most sunlight away. This prevents overheating and makes it easier to control the temperature. The cargo bay doors have radiators built into them to make radiating heat away even easier. A side effect of this is that it is more noticable with telescopes.
Does heat travel from warm to cool or cool to warm?
