A shielding component, in particular a heat shield, has shield components (10, 12, 14) which are made flat, which lie at least partially on top of one another, and which are connected to one another at least partially along at least one common connecting line (16). Along the common connecting line (16), at least one shield component (14) encompassing another shield component (10, 12) in an overlap (18). Within the overlap (18), the shield components (10, 12, 14) are held at least partially by frictional engagement so as to be displaceable against one another relative to a compensation distance. A rigid connection of the shield components with their individual layers is avoided. Rather, depending on the thermal situation, they can mutually slide off one another.
