hi steve over her we use checker plating which still freezes but because of the surface you get good grip,only draw back is you have to watch for edges goming up at doors causing trip hazards,hope this helps

Good old trick is sand mixed in paint, or crushed walnute shell and paint but if frost is forming then you must have a heater installed.

A pricy but worth while method is to use hydronic heat powered off the discharge gas of the compressor. I'll allow others to explain that in detail.
