Abstract

In Nigeria, tiles are an essential part of aesthetics in decorating residential houses, shops and offices etc. Tiles have been in existence since the twentieth century and are presently used all over the world (Amoo, 2016) Several materials (construction and agricultural wastes) have been used in the development and manufacturing of various types of tiles to meet certain characteristics and functions. It is beneficial to explore ways of utilizing plastics and animal wastes (cowhorn) as substitutes in the production of cement matrix tiles.
