Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: September 1, 2026 · Last Updated: September 19, 2026
Our Commitment
GFO Stone International, LLC wants everyone to be able to use our website, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, voice control, or other assistive technology.
Scope
This statement covers our public website at gfostone.com, including product, project, sample-ordering, and account pages. It doesn't cover our internal staff tools.
Standards and How We Check
We're working toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. We haven't had an independent audit, so we can't say the site fully meets that standard today. Our most recent review, in September 2026, combined automated scanning tools with keyboard-only testing, and we've been fixing what it found. We'll keep reviewing as the site changes.
Accessibility Features
- A "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page, for keyboard and screen-reader users.
- Text, and the outlines of form fields and buttons, are designed to meet WCAG contrast minimums in both the light and dark themes.
- Visible focus indicators, so you can see where you are when navigating with a keyboard.
- Form fields have labels, and personal details such as name, email, phone, and address support browser autofill.
- Icons that are only decoration are hidden from screen readers, and images have text descriptions.
- Links and buttons are named to match the text you see on screen, so voice-control users can activate them by saying what they read.
- Links that open in a new tab say so to screen readers.
- Image slideshows and the scrolling testimonials have a pause button, and they don't start moving on their own if your device is set to reduce motion.
- The chat assistant can be opened, used, and closed with a keyboard, and it announces replies to screen readers.
- Long pages, such as our legal and safety pages, have a text-size control.
Known Limitations
- Some interactive tools, such as the slab visualizer and photo search, rely on visual interaction and haven't been reviewed for accessibility.
- Some pages we've reviewed less closely, such as account pages and the sample order form, may have issues we haven't found. We haven't yet tested them with a screen reader.
- Downloadable documents, such as product profiles, safety data sheets, and PDF forms, may not be fully accessible to screen readers.
- Content our staff edits, such as blog posts, may occasionally fall short even though we work to catch it.
Third-Party Content
Some features come from third parties we don't control, such as embedded maps, payment links, the verification check on some forms, and links to outside sites like OSHA and social media. We can't guarantee their accessibility. If a verification check blocks you from submitting a form, contact us and we'll help you another way.
What to Include in Your Report
If you run into a barrier, tell us the page you were on, what you were trying to do, and which browser or assistive technology you were using. The more detail you give, the faster we can fix it. Contact details are below.
Changes to This Statement
We'll update this statement as our accessibility work continues, and change the date at the top when we do.
