I was interested in this same question with regard to UFH, under floor heating.

From what I have read elsewhere, flagstones are excellent conductors and ideal as a floor covering over UFH pipes and screed.

They conduct well, so the heat travels into the room 'easily'.

If they are thick (like the ones I'm just installing in a cottage), they add significantly to the bulk of the floor. This means it will take longer to warm up initially (and longer to cool down), so heating controls need to take this into account.

Is potassium a good thermal conductor?

No, potassium is not a good thermal conductor compared to other materials. It has a relatively low thermal conductivity, meaning it is not efficient at transferring heat.


Is astatine a good thermal conductor?

Astatine is not a good thermal conductor. It is a poor conductor of heat due to its low thermal conductivity, similar to other halogens. This makes astatine a relatively inefficient material for transferring heat.
