What is Thermal Modification (TMT)?
Thermal modification is the process of modifying wood with high temperature and water vapor without the use of any chemicals. During this process, the moisture in the wood is removed from the wood cells and the cell walls tighten. As a result, the dimensional stability of the wood is increased, the risk of deformation is reduced and its reactivity to external conditions is minimized. The risk of fungus and insect infestation of treated wood products is minimized. TMT products offer superior properties both aesthetically and functionally, making them an ideal choice for all outdoor applications. TMT is long-lasting and environmentally friendly.
What is Thermo Vacuum System (TVS)?
The Thermo Vacuum System differs significantly from other thermal modification technologies in the world. The gases generated inside the kiln during the heat treatment are collected by the vacuum system into a tank outside the kiln. This prevents the gas density inside the kiln from damaging the wood and increases the mechanical strength of the wood. Wood produced with TVS can be used both indoors and outdoors. It also stands out with its odorless and environmentally friendly structure.

TMT (Thermally Modified Timber) – Information About Thermovac
Reasons for Preferring TMT for Outdoors
- Durability: TMT wood is resistant to extreme weather conditions (rain, sun, snow), ensuring long-term usability in outdoor projects.
- Resistance to Decay and Pests: Thermal modification reduces the nutritional content of the wood, thus increasing its resistance to rot and harmful insects.
- Low Water Absorption: TMT reduces water absorption capacity, providing protection against water damage. This feature makes it ideal for applications such as garden furniture and exterior cladding.
- Aesthetic Appearance: TMT wood maintains its natural look and becomes more aesthetically pleasing over time, adding elegance to outdoor projects with its texture and color.
- Eco-Friendly: The thermal modification process is conducted without the use of chemical substances, making it an environmentally friendly option. Wood, as a natural material, becomes a sustainable building material when treated appropriately.
- Easy to Work With: TMT wood shares similar working characteristics with traditional wood in terms of cutting, drilling, and sanding, facilitating construction and design processes.
TMT (Thermally Modified Timber) – Thermovac is a superior wood material that should be preferred for outdoor projects. It is an ideal solution for anyone looking for a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing, and eco-friendly alternative. Therefore, TMT caters to a wide range of applications, from gardens to outdoor furniture.
