Metal conducts heat very well; the heat of your feet will be carried away quickly on a metal floor, causing you to feel cold - because of the loss of heat. Wood conducts heat very POORLY; it's an excellent insulator. That's why we use wooden "trivets" to protect delicate tabletops from hot cooking vessels.
