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.
