Starting off in 1990 as a totally independent family concern, Day Plastics were supplying vinyl, foam and motor trimmings from their premises at Hodgson Street in Roodepoort. Retailing direct to the public, the company quickly became well known for their highly competitive and reasonable prices especially in upholstery materials. But due to rapid growth and increase in demand, these premises soon became inadequate to accommodate the ever increasing stock and storage requirements.

In 1994, in order to meet these challenges, it therefore became imperative to move to bigger premises in Berlandina Street in the CBD of Roodepoort. This led to more exposure and an even higher profile in the industry. Due to popular demand, the addition of several new ranges like dress fabrics, curtaining, etc. became a logical step forward, and it was decided to change the name to Fabric Link. The natural spin-offs however demanded more floor personnel, more stock, and yes..  (yet again!) more floor space.

Fortunately, Fabric Link managed to acquire a familiar old landmark, namely the former OK Bazaars building at 39 Goldman Street, Florida. With a floor space in excess of 5000 square meters we are now able to offer the widest range of upholstery materials on the West Rand, plus a variety of other products and services e.g. foam cutting, ready-made curtains, a massive haberdashery department, a stunning selection of beads and trinkets, accessories and more. All at prices you can afford. We also provide safe and secure parking on the premises for your peace of mind.

"Our business philosophy has always been to source good quality products at the lowest possible price, with the result that we are able to provide our customers with decent products at affordable prices. This practical approach is highly beneficial and profitable to both Fabric Link as well as the customer, based on the fundamental principle of a lower markup and a higher turnover. The rapid growth of our business is evidence that we don't just 'talk-the-talk'... but we also 'walk the walk!" Come visit our store and see for yourself how everyone benefits from this healthy policy"    -   G. Day

A brand new addition in the rear of the parking area is our well stocked nursery, specializing mainly in cycads. Due to popular demand, what started off as a hobby quickly turned into a business in it's own right. Here you can purchase plants ranging from relatively inexpensive seedlings to very rare and large mature plants. Cycads are 'living fossils' dating right back to the Jurassic period. Today, some of these mature specimens are virtually unobtainable in these sizes as most of them are extremely slow growers and are normally only seen in private collections. Whether you are a serious collector or merely a garden enthusiast who wants to add an attention compelling highlight to your garden, we invite you to come and browse at your own leisure and possibly acquire some of these rarities while stocks last. We also stock cycad food and fertilizers, compost, pots, literature, etc.

Note: All species of South African cycads are protected plants; All our cycads are registered with the Department of Nature Conservation, and therefore sold legally with a transport permit that is valid within Gauteng province. Export/import permits may be obtained for other provinces.
