Why does the tiled floor feel colder than a rug even though they are at the same temperature?

- Tile is smooth getting a large contact area.
- A rug contains lots of air pockets, acting as thermal insulators.
This allows cool tile to conduct heat away much faster than a cool rug.
If they were both warmer than body temperature the tile would feel warmer for the same reason.

Tile is a ceramic which is a better conductor of heat than carpet which is an insulator. In a very hot summer the tile will feel warmer than the carpet.
Is tile or slate strong enought to hold a piano?
The tile is not the issue as much as the sturdiness of the sub floor and the installation of cement board over the sub floor that keeps the tile and grout from cracking. Tile on a cement slab should hold just fine, as long as there are no unsupported pockets between the two. Our upright piano is on a tiled floor with no issues.
Why does a marble roll further on a tiled floor than a carpet?
The marble is really good at conducting heat away from your hand but because the carpet isn't as dense and has lots of air between the fibres it is not a very good heat conductor. Because the marble is a goodheat conductor it cools down your feet quickly and so they feel colder but the carpet cannot cool down your feet. An interesting experiment to try is to get three bowls and put hot water in one, cold water in another and a 50:50 mix of hot and cold in the third. Put one hand in the hot water and the other hand in the cold water for 20 seconds and then put them both into to third bowl. Try it but be careful that the water isn't too hot.
