Heat insulating element

Abstract

The invention relates to a heat insulating element (1) comprising: a plate-type main part (2) with a first flat face and a second flat face and comprising a vacuum insulating body (3), in particular a foil-encased vacuum insulating body which is arranged between the first flat face and the second flat face, wherein the first flat face and the second flat face are made of a respective cover layer (4, 5), and on at least one of the two flat faces, the corresponding cover layer (4) is only partially connected to the vacuum insulating body (3), in particular in an adhered or melted manner. The invention is characterized in that the cover layer (4) which is only partially connected has a relief structure (6) in all of, a plurality of, or the majority of the regions which are not connected to the vacuum insulating body (3), said relief structure being designed to compensate for a thermal expansion or a thermal contraction.
