Introducing Nükk Cerberus™

A multi-species thermal recovery system engineered to support optimal physiological balance in companion animals.

Modern thermal therapy has been shown to support circulation, muscle relaxation, and recovery in humans. The Nükk Cerberus™ extends these principles to pets through carefully calibrated heat exposure—designed around fur density, resting heart rate, and thermoregulation patterns.

By creating a controlled thermal environment, Cerberus™ encourages:
• Increased peripheral blood flow
• Gentle muscular release following activity
• Nervous system downregulation (post-zoomie stabilization)
• Passive recovery without mechanical intervention

Multi-Species Heat Profiling
Each session adapts to species-specific thermal tolerance ranges, accounting for differences in fur insulation and surface cooling.

Adaptive Fur Response™
Heat transfer is modulated to pe*****te varying coat types while maintaining surface comfort.

Cerberus Mode™ (Beta)
Simultaneous dual-animal accommodation with dynamic heat balancing across zones.

Passive Recovery Protocols
Designed for post-walk, post-play, and high-output behavioral cycles.

Preliminary observational testing suggests that short-duration thermal exposure may assist in promoting a calmer resting state and improved post-activity recovery behaviors in both canines and felines.

While individual tolerance varies, most subjects demonstrated:
• Reduced pacing
• Increased stillness
• Extended lounging duration

At Nükk, we believe in taking care of family.
Cerberus™ is engineered for the entire pack.

Burnt cedar lasts longer, looks incredible, and bridges old-world tradition with modern design.

This is Yakisugi (often called Shou Sugi Ban)—a traditional Japanese technique that uses flame to preserve wood.

The process:Burn the surface → wire brush → seal

The fire carbonizes the outer layer, creating a natural barrier that:• resists moisture• deters insects• slows rot and decay• improves dimensional stability

The result is a blackened wood surface that not only looks striking, but performs exceptionally well—especially in outdoor environments.

We’re using a custom-built Amish multi-head propane burner to apply an old-world method in a modern way.

Same principle—executed with modern rustic innovation.

There’s something about looking up at a night sky that quiets everything.

Our Starlight Package turns the ceiling of your Nükk sauna into a field of constellations — tiny fiber optic stars, suspended in black stained western red cedar, glowing softly above you.

It’s like bringing the outdoors indoors.

And if you have a favorite constellation—we can integrate it into your design.

Some spaces are easy to access. Others aren’t. When a driveway won’t allow a truck, a telehandler can’t fit, or the ideal sauna location sits beyond normal reach, crane delivery gives us options.

Using a crane allows for precise placement with minimal disruption to landscaping, fencing, or existing structures. It also reduces unnecessary handling and keeps the installation efficient and controlled. Perfect placement every time.

This 8’x8’ handcrafted Nükk Mod was delivered to Hannah and Zev in Portland a few weeks ago, it has custom sliding benches so you have room for Yoga.

Yesterday we delivered a 10’6”x8’x9’ Nükk Pano with a Shou Sugi Ban finish to Sean and Natalie in Olympia. They have a beautiful home, that used to be an old hunting lodge, that they are renovating. In one area of their yard, they are creating a Japanese garden, and had Nükk build them a custom sauna to complement their home. We will post more pictures this summer when it’s all finished.!

Window placement is everything when it comes to capturing your view. Whether you live in a natural or urban setting, the placement, size, and transparency of your windows can take your overall sauna experience to another level. Every Nükk is handcrafted, that means we frame your windows to perfectly complement your surroundings and view. This 7’x8’x9’6” Besopke sauna, with an L-bench and starlight package, was delivered this week to John in Burien, WA. He has a beautiful spot!

“I can’t recommend Nukk Sauna enough. The guys were amazing to work with, made all of the special accommodations I asked for and delivered a sauna that fulfilled the vision I had for my backyard. Kit saunas were out of the question for me — I wanted an authentic, hand-built sauna to traditional sauna standards, and one that would perform and stand the test of time. Nukk delivered on all fronts. From my first conversations with Shane and Andy about my initial ideas to receiving the final product, the whole process was an incredible experience. They used their extensive sauna-building knowledge to create my dream sauna, which now serves as the centerpiece of my backyard retreat. I simply cannot imagine a better experience.” —Chris M
