An element (1) of an inorganic brittle material is provided having two opposed sides (3, 5) and a circumferential edge (7), the element (1) comprising at least three sections, the at least three sections including a first section (9) and two second sections (11, 13), the second sections adjoining the first section so that the first section (9) is arranged between the second sections (1, 13), the first section (9) comprising an arrangement of openings (90) and interconnectors (91) so that the first section (9) has a higher flexibility than the second sections (11, 13), characterized in that- at least one opening (90) is shaped as a fold that comprises at least two limbs (8, 10) that intersect, thereby forming a vertex (4).
