Concrete is not a good insulator. Concrete has a high thermal mass, which means it can store and release a lot of thermal energy (heat). This property is sometimes mistaken for insulation because it can be used to delay the transmission of thermal energy. The amount of delay is proportional to the thickness of the concrete. An example of this is the use of thick concrete walls to store thermal energy during a hot day and release it during the cooler night. For a delay of this length (half a day) the thickness of the concrete wall needs to be between 150-200mm.

Is newspaper a good insulator for electricity?
yes newspaper is a good insulator because it is thick and obsorbs
How is fabric a good insulator?
because it's not metal
Is a foam coffee cup a conductor or a insulator?
Styrofoam, along with most other expanded plastics, is a very poor insulator of heat and electricity, thereby making a foam coffee cup a very good insulator.
Can you use min wax oil based stain on concrete?
No, it is intended for wood and soaks in too much to look good on concrete. HD sells a good variety of concrete stain.
What are good insulaters?
Good Insulator are those substance which has almost no free electrons to move freely and thus, cannot conduct electricity. When EMF (Electro motive force) is applied along the length of the insulator, high resistance of the insulator causes no motion of the electrons due to which the electrons cannot flow.
Is concrete a good heat insulator?

Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
Which is an example of a good insulator?
it depends what type of insulator youre talking about. wood is a good thermal insulator and rubber is a good electrical insulator A perfect vacuum is the best insulator.
