A compressible support for the installation of a fixture base to a building structure, the compressible support comprising:
- a compressible material configured such that a compressible dimension of the support is reduced to a compressed dimension by applying a compression force to the compressible support, wherein the support expands to at least a portion of the compressible dimension upon relief of the compression force.
The compressible support of claim 3, wherein the foam is a non-porous foam.
A fixture base installation system comprising:
- a membrane layer;
- and
- a compressible support comprising a cavity.
A method for installing a fixture base to a building structure comprising:
- positioning a compressible support comprising a curable foundation material in contact with the building structure at a first end of the compressible support along a compressible dimension;
- positioning the fixture base in contact with the compressible support at a second end of the compressible support along the compressible dimension;
- securing the fixture base to the building structure;
