Why Tile Floors Feel Cooler Than Wood | Pittsburgh News
Description
When the heat hits, science has a simple trick: cool down by transferring your body heat to cooler surfaces. Heat naturally flows from warm to cool, so touching granite feels colder than wood—even if they’re the same temp—because your body loses heat faster. Dogs know this instinctively, sprawled on tile floors to shed heat. Find something cooler and conductive, and you’ll feel instantly refreshed. It’s thermodynamics in action—no fancy gear needed.
