<p>A natural stone element (1) comprises a natural stone plate (30) and a stress absorbing layer (40) which is applied to a non-viewing side of the plate (30). In a preferred embodiment of the natural stone element (1), the natural stone plate (30) is provided with at least one recess (37), wherein the stress absorbing layer (40) is situated in this recess (37). If so desired, one or more other layers may also be arranged in the recess (37), for example, a layer (42) having insulating properties. As an advantageous consequence of the presence of the recess (37), weight is saved, while breakage of the natural stone plate (30) at the position of the recess (37) is prevented on the basis of the presence of the stress absorbing layer (40), since this allows for bending of the plate (30) without breakage. Especially on the basis of an application of a thin natural stone plate (30), the natural stone element (1) can be very light, which allows for many applications of the natural stone element (1), such as for cladding, among other things.</p> |
