I find wood flooring can make a room stuffy esp at night... the wood floor traps heat during the day and releases it at night

QUOTE(arthurlwf @ Feb 3 2009, 08:51 AM) I don't turn on the air-con when I'm asleep, but in the morning, the tiles is very cold How high up are you...?Not sure whether its due to my apartment unit which is located at high level The higher you go the colder it gets due to decreased air pressure. Like Genting due to its high altitude the climate is cooler. I've read somewhere the general rule of thumb is somewhere around 1deg to 0.75 deg Celsius cooler per 100 meters. |

QUOTE(arthurlwf @ Feb 5 2009, 10:39 PM) Since clay tiles are inert like stones it has no way of becoming cold or hot on it's own. Usually tiles are cold or hot depending on the surrounding air temp. Tiles are good at absorbing and transferring heat. It's the reason why you get gold feet on tiles and not wood flooring Wood is a poor thermal conductor... QUOTE(arthurlwf @ Feb 5 2009, 10:39 PM) I have a different set of tiles which is located at room, living room & kitchen.. Only the kitchen tiles don't feel cold... In the kitchen it's probably due to the heat from your fridge.Hmm.. I think this have something to do with the material... |
