Just out of curiousity - why would carpeting be hotter in the summer
than any other flooring?


It's all in eyes (feet, head) of the user. But, it's still a valid reason, I
guess. One fact, though: Any rough surface *has* to slow down draftiness a
bit, compared to a hard one. This is why I can't stand the idea of hardwood
floors in my cold climate.
