The issue is not simply an aesthetic one. My friend, for example, can surmount steps by having someone carry her walker and pulling herself up step-by-step using a railing.
Here is what the Mayfair Drive Narthex entrance looks like now (click on the image for a larger view):

Railings matching those seen above can be seen on the front stairs:

and on the stairs near the church office:

I don’t know if all the railings were installed at the same time, but they match one another well. Here is a detail of the railing at the lower Mayfair Drive entrance:

Below is a detail of the architectural specifications for the reconstructed steps. (The complete design can be seen here.)

I think that aluminum is a perfect option for the railings. However,it’s a matter of taste. Sketches or photos of the railings
Just look at those curves, lines and fancy patterns… That’s incredible! staircasedesign.xyz/beauty-and-elegance-of-forged-railings
