Why stop at the walls when modernizing your garage with a custom storage system? At many homes, everyone enters and exists through the garage — including guests. Finishing touches like flooring can make or break the space — and the right one will leave you feeling proud when visitors pay a call.
All garage floor systems from Closet Works are highly durable and designed to withstand the daily wear and tear from driving a car continuously over them, including one that is dripping with the salt and slush of a typical Chicago winter. Closet Works has partnered with EncoreGarage™ to provide professional grade Polyurea garage floor systems. The FlexCore™ coating used on these garage floors is stronger than traditional epoxy coatings and provides a long-lasting solution that can withstand Chicago weather.
The flooring comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and is so attractive, you needn't limit it only to the garage. Try it in a mud room, play room or basement as well — it looks great and is low maintenance!
1-Day Installation is available on most floors. Get your garage back in order in no time so you can start to enjoy your beautiful new floor right away.

Installation Process
To start, we use diamond tip grinders to completely clean and prepare the concrete. Each crew carries a full range of diamond tooling so they can adapt to every type of concrete. This important step is vital in creating the proper surface for a durable bond and is a prime differentiator between our process and many other vendors in the market. After this first step, the concrete is like a sponge with a textured surface – ready to absorb and lock in the base layer of polyurea material and create a durable bond.
- STEP 1: Grind
- STEP 2: Sealer
- STEP 3: Repair
- STEP 4: Base
- STEP 5: Flake
- STEP 6: Scrape
- STEP 7: Anti-Slip

Key Benefits of the FlexCore™ Muli-Layer Flake Flooring System
- Beauty and durability: an attractive, high-quality floor that complements the design of your property.
- An extensive range of standard and customizable options allow you to select a color blend based on your personal preferences.
- The finished product has a non-porous finish with no crevices to trap dirt and grime. It is highly stain-resistant, even against high-performance tires.
- The system is UV resistant and will not yellow over time.
- It is easy to keep clean with regular sweeping and an occasional rinse with a hose. When needed, tougher cleaning can be accomplished with ammonia and water or Simple Green.
- Will not chip, peel or lift, even under hot tires and is rated for commercial use.
- We use mechanical grinders with diamond tooling for surface preparation which is the only way to ensure a proper bonding of our system to the concrete.
- We use only polyurea base coat for our “foundational layer” because nothing penetrates the pores better or creates a stronger bond with the concrete. This ensures the floor will not blister or peel — even under the tires.
- A full broadcast of vinyl chips are used for both appearance and added strength.
- We use a Polyaspartic topcoat that has been specifically tested and proven to be effective in the Chicago climate. The elongation properties give the system it’s flexibility and offer a high resistance to impact, abrasion and hot temperatures.
- Our process is completed in as little as 1-Day, followed by a 24-hour cure time — getting your garage back in service quickly.
- Other than cleaning, there is no regular maintenance required.
- Limited lifetime warranty against lifting, chipping, or peeling for as long as you own your property.
