Conduction, whether thermal or electrical, is a property of the material. Metals are usually good conductors, especially copper and silver. This is put down to them having many free electrons which transfer electrical charge through the metal and also interact with each other to conduct heat. Non-metals don't have the free electrons and conduct by inter-atomic effects only which are much less effective.
