cold when stepping out of showers

When I take a shower at my appartment, stepping out leaves me cold tothe point of almost shivering. This is not the case, however, at someof the locations I've previously showered. It's been suggested thatthe reason for this is that the locations that I have showered atdidn't have cement directly underneath them and that since those were Ihave felt cold, afterwards, do, that that's the reason.The places where I haven't felt cold have usually been on the secondfloor or higher, whereas the places where I've taken showers on thefirst floor (presumably where the concrete would be) have left me cold. The one exception to this is an old house that was built in the1920's, where first floor showers don't leave me cold.Anyway, my question is... is the concrete indeed the reason? If not,what else might it be?Also, say I were looking for a new appartment and was only able tochose from locations on the first floor of the complex. Are there anycharacteristics that I could ask about that'd mitigate the effect ofthe concrete (or whatever the cause is)?

If I pay $2000 / night, I expect something beside a coupla rugs to keep me warm...if you get my drift.
