Yes — terrazzo's metal divider strips can be bent into essentially any shape before the terrazzo is poured, which is how monograms, medallions, compass roses, and logos get built directly into the floor rather than applied on top of it.

Meaningfully more, on both material and labor — the angled cuts required for herringbone generate more waste than a straight run, and the alignment work takes real additional installation time per square foot.

Yes, but it requires planning the transition detail — usually a metal or stone strip — before either material is set, along with precise layout work. Without that planning up front, a material transition tends to look like an afterthought rather than a design choice.

It's precision-cut stone or tile, fabricated off-site with a high-pressure water jet, that allows curved and intricate shapes a standard wet saw can't produce — a radius border or a medallion inset, for example. Whether it's worth it comes down to how much that specific design element matters to you, since it's a genuine cost add over standard straight-cut material.

Yes — aggregate color and size can be custom-blended for new terrazzo work rather than chosen from a standard sample selection, which is how we match a new terrazzo installation to a specific design scheme or an existing original floor.

They're related but distinct — herringbone uses rectangular planks set at an angle so the ends form a zigzag, while chevron uses planks pre-cut at an angle so they meet in a continuous point, creating a cleaner, more uniform V pattern. Chevron generally requires more precise, pre-mitered material.

Yes — this is one of the more common custom requests, whether in terrazzo, waterjet-cut stone, or tile, and it's planned and often fabricated (in the case of stone) before installation, then set into the field flooring at the entry as a focal point.

Earlier than standard material — waterjet-cut stone and custom terrazzo divider strip work both require shop drawings and off-site fabrication time before installation can even begin, so custom elements should be finalized well ahead of the rest of the project's material orders.
