Plastic is a good insulator of heat, meaning heat can't flow through it very well. So a plastic handle on a kettle doesn't conduct heat through it and this means you don't get burnt when handling it.

Should a upgraded carpet padding with a sheer plastic cover on one side have the plastic up or facing down toward the floor?
If the pad only has the plastic covering on one side it should be installed plastic side up. Depending on the type of plastic it could serve one or more purposes. The most basic of purposes would be to allow the carpet to be slid on the surface of the pad during the installation and to prevent damage during installation. The most advanced pads have a thicker plastic coating that acts as a boundary layer to prevent the pad from absorbing liquids that may be spilled on the carpet. This boundary layer allows for easier cleanup and helps prevent stains from reappearing after they have been removed.
