CantorMesh for a fat cantor set

Question

CantorMesh[n] gives the $n$-th level approximation to the standard no-middle-(1/3)-Cantor set.
Is there a quick way to obtain a similar mesh region for the no-middle-(1/4)-Cantor set?

Using generalizations of the functions cantor, CantorRegion and CantorDust from documentation page RegionProduct >> Applications: ClearAll[cantorrule, cantorRegion, cantorDust] cantorrule[s_: 1/3] := ReplaceAll[{a_, b_} :> {{a, a + (b - a) (1 - s)/2}, {a + (b - a) (1 + s)/2, b}}] cantorRegion[s_: 1/3][t_Integer?NonNegative] := MeshRegion[ List /@ Flatten[Nest[Apply[Join]@*Map[cantorrule[s]], {{0, 1}}, t]], Line @ Partition[Range[2^(t + 1)], 2]] cantorDust[s_: 1/3][t_Integer?NonNegative, dim_: 1] := RegionProduct @@ Table[cantorRegion[s][t], dim] Examples: Labeled[Grid[Transpose @ {Show[cantorDust[][#, 1], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3], Show[cantorDust[][#, 2], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3], Show[cantorDust[][#, 3], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]}, Dividers -> All], Style["s = 1/3", 36], Top] Labeled[Grid[Transpose @ {Show[cantorDust[1/4][#, 1], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3], Show[cantorDust[1/4][#, 2], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3], Show[cantorDust[1/4][#, 3], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]}, Dividers -> All], Style["s = 1/4", 36], Top] Labeled[Grid[Transpose@ {Show[cantorDust[5/12][#, 1], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3], Show[cantorDust[5/12][#, 2], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3], Show[cantorDust[5/12][#, 3], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]}, Dividers -> All], Style["s = 5/12", 36], Top] Labeled[Grid[{Prepend[Style["s", 24]][Style["t = " <> ToString@#, 16] & /@ {1, 2, 3}], Prepend[Style["1/4", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[1/4][#, 1], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]], Prepend[Style["1/3", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[1/3][#, 1], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]], Prepend[Style["5/12", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[5/12][#, 1], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]]}, Dividers -> All], Style["dim=1", 36], Top] Labeled[Grid[{Prepend[Style["s", 24]][ Style["t = " <> ToString@#, 16] & /@ {1, 2, 3}], Prepend[Style["1/4", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[1/4][#, 2], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]], Prepend[Style["1/3", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[1/3][#, 2], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]], Prepend[Style["5/12", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[5/12][#, 2], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]]}, Dividers -> All], Style["dim=2", 36], Top] Labeled[Grid[{Prepend[Style["s", 24]][ Style["t = " <> ToString@#, 16] & /@ {1, 2, 3}], Prepend[Style["1/4", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[1/4][#, 3], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]], Prepend[Style["1/3", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[1/3][#, 3], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]], Prepend[Style["5/12", 16]][ Show[cantorDust[5/12][#, 3], ImageSize -> Medium] & /@ Range[3]]}, Dividers -> All], Style["dim=3", 36], Top]

Does this do what you expect / want?

Do you want mesh objects to be generated?

I took and modified the code from this demonstration: https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/CantorSet/ .

I added the control gapFraction.
