Does Glass insulate heat well?
Glass is a relatively bad insulator of heat. If you touch a piece of glass that is colder than your body temperature, it will feel cold, because it will conduct away your body heat; but touch a piece of wood, even if the wood is at the same temperature as the glass, and it would feel warmer because it is a good insulator of heat. Wool is even better.

Gfci outlet feels warm to the touch?
It is normal for GFCI breakers and receptacles to feel warm to the touch while under load. They should not feel "hot". GFCI receptacles often protect other receptacles further down the line, so the load does not necessarily need to be plugged into the GFCI receptacle itself. AFCI breakers will also feel warm to the touch. Again the receptacles should not feel "hot". If they are hot or heat discolored, you should discontinue use and call a licensed electrician. C.
