METHOD FOR THE FORMING AND FINISHING OF AN ACCESSORY CLADDING ELEMENT FOR USE IN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

The present invention relates to a method for making an accessory cladding element (100) for use in architecture and design. The method provides preparing an elastically deformable support element (2), comprising a first outer surface (4), in particular a decorated surface, a second outer surface (5) and a plurality of spacer elements (6) placed between the two surfaces. An impermeable and removable layer (9) is applied on the first outer surface (4) to protect at least a part thereof. Then a fluid cement mixture (3) is prepared and introduced into the support element (2) to obtain a cement-based composite structure in a deformable state. The excess fluid cement mixture (3) is removed from the support element (2). The cement-based composite structure in the deformable state is positioned in a forming device which gives it the desired shape. The composite structure is solidified and after the removable layer (9) is removed.
