It is the only CORE variant that arrives without exterior side cladding panels - the heater unit ships with a black or stainless top inlay cap and a bare stainless steel structural frame, leaving the side surfaces open for the owner to apply their own custom material: ceramic tile, natural stone, glass, or wood panels cut to fit. BK\/ST stands for Black (top inlay) \/ Stainless (structural frame). Control unit and sauna stones (2 boxes) are sold separately. This listing is for buyers who want to build a fully bespoke sauna heater exterior - a heater that is an extension of the sauna room's specific material design rather than a choice between predetermined HUUM finish options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe customizable CORE - bare frame, owner-applied exterior\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery other CORE variant - Black, Alder, Thermo-Aspen, Aspen - ships with HUUM-supplied exterior panels already applied to the stainless frame. The BK\/ST ships without these side panels, exposing the structural stainless frame and the stone basket. The frame is engineered to accept tile, stone, glass, or wood panels applied by the owner or a contractor to cover the exposed side surfaces. This is not a visible-frame heater to be used as-is - it is a substrate for custom cladding. The black top inlay cap covers the top face of the heater; the sides are the owner's design canvas. For sauna rooms with continuous tile work, matching stone walls, custom millwork, or any specific material that no HUUM-supplied wood or black finish can match, the CORE BK\/ST is the starting point. The open stone basket and the CORE heater performance remain identical to the other CORE variants - only the exterior treatment is left to the owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThree output levels - select at checkout\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CORE BK\/ST is available in three output configurations, selectable at checkout. 6.5kW covers rooms from 177 to 318 cubic feet. 9kW covers rooms from 283 to 460 cubic feet. 10.5kW covers rooms from 354 to 566 cubic feet. The output selected determines the room coverage, electrical specification, and whether a UKU Extension Box is required for the control connection. Confirm the correct output for the specific sauna room using the Size Your Sauna document below before selecting at checkout. A compatible UKU control unit (Local Black or WiFi) is required for all output levels and sold separately at BathingBrands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmall footprint, bench-embeddable, minimal safety distances\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CORE heater body is compact relative to its stone capacity - the open basket design keeps the footprint small while maintaining a substantial stone load. Minimal required safety distances from surrounding surfaces make the CORE BK\/ST one of the most flexibly positioned sauna heaters available: it can be installed against walls, in corners, or embedded within the sauna bench structure. Bench embedding is a particularly natural application for the BK\/ST - when the heater is set into the bench and clad with the same tile or stone as the surrounding bench surface, the result is a heater that is visually integrated into the bench rather than a separate object on the sauna floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sl-hook\"\u003eCustomizable-exterior sauna heater - arrives without side cladding panels for owner-applied tile, stone, glass, or wood exterior.

The BK\/ST ships with the structural frame and open basket exposed, ready for the owner to apply any flat panel material: the same tile as the sauna floor, the same stone as the wall cladding, a custom glass panel, or any wood species and cut the owner specifies.

When the heater is set into the bench structure and clad with the same tile or stone as the surrounding bench surface, it becomes part of the bench - invisible as a separate element from a distance.
