If the drywall is directly onto the concrete, drill into the concrete and use a shield and screw or there is a concrete screw called Tapcon that screws directly into the concrete without a shield and holds much better. If the drywall is on furring strips, either mount the banister on the strips or go through the strips into the concrete.

Carpet is almost always held down around the edges with nailed down tac strips. You just grab an edge somewhere and tear it up off the floor. You'll then have to remove the tac strips. Try pulling up a corner maybe and looking underneath. You'll see. note: it's possible it was glued down but you remove it the same way. The glue leaves a mess though and you gotta scrape it off. Hope not.
Concrete expands and contracts depending on the temperature. The strips are called expansion joints.
You heat the back of them with a hairdryer as you slowly pull it off.
1 strip = 67.0 cm room = 540.0 cm 540/67 8.06 strips or 9 strips will do it.
To install a carpet underlay follow these five easy steps. 1) Prepare the subfloor, 2) install tackless strips around the perimeter of the room, 3) Cut the underlay in strips long enough to cover the tackless strips, 4) staple underlay to the subfloor and trim to the inside of the tackless strip, 5) make sure seams don't overlap and finished with carpet tape on all seams.
Prevent or reduce cracking of the concrete due to thermal expansion. Most materials expand when heated and contract when cooled. The strips are usually a fibrous material that allows the concrete expand and contract without breaking. Without those strips, random and irregular cracks would occur.
no, it even shows it on the commercial
You don't, if you want your carpet to stay stretched and flat on your floor. You see, laminate flooring is not attached to your floor in any way. It floats. The boards are locked together, but if you pull up on the side of a board, it will detach itself easily. So if you attach tack strips to that laminate and then stretch a carpet over it, the tension of the carpet will very likely pull your laminate up at the edges. To do this the right way, you'll need to remove the laminate flooring (you'll find this VERY easy to do), install tack strips to the subflooring, install carpet pad, and then carpet. It'll stay like it's supposed to.

When coal is removed in strips, it is called strip mining. This method involves removing strips of soil and rock to expose coal seams, which can then be extracted using heavy machinery. Strip mining is commonly used for coal mining in areas where the coal seams are close to the surface.
