I look for thicker the better.

I had to redo all window, door, and baseboard trim because drywall was thicker than the wood paneling.

From reading about putting vinyl on cabinets, it kind of reminds me of putting wallpaper on walls (although I think the vinyl is thicker, but then again kitchen cabinets get a lot heavier use than the average house wall).

The thicker 4mm and 5mm click type are the best but are not that cheap, especially when you factor in underlayment, but probably would hold up better than carpet.

Darker colors will show wear faster. go for 100% waterproof, lay down a pad underneath so the surface is even and your floor lasts longer. try to get a thicker size.

Usually, only heating oil USTs associated with commercial properties are regulated. thus, most home heating oil tanks may and often are taken out of service without any oversight from state regulators.Second- the rules that are in effect for heating oil tanks are usually less stringent than for diesel or gasoline tanks since heating oil tends to thicker and may not migrate as far. as a result, many states just require tanks to be cleaned out. they may also require the tanks to be filled with sand or concrete to prevent collapse. but sampling may not be required.Third- the key to determining if a tank has leaked is to collect soil samples from around and beneath the tank (groundwater also if groundwater is shallow). another quick way to see if a tank is leaking is to "dip" it with a stick that has a paste that turns color in the presence of water. generally, if water has gotten into a tank, it can mean oil has leaked out of the tank (although a certain amount of condensation may be present even where there is no leak so this is not a infallible test).Fourth- if there is currently a tank in the basement, ask the owner if there used to be a buried tank (a/k/a underground storage tank).Fifth, If the tank has impacted the soil, the cleanup generally varies from $25K to $50K though the costs will depend ont he depth of the contamination. i once had a home with a heated pool that had pressurized piping and used diesel. the contamination went down 40 feet and the consultant went crazy excavating the soil to the tune of $400K!!!

I assume it is a very thin, entry level metal (thicker metal has less oil canning/waves, is less susceptible to hail damage, etc).

Just when you think the plot can't get any thicker.

I used this when I need something thicker than LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank). 

The base layer gets even thicker, more responsive to heavy scrubbing, and my hardened rental gets even more hardened.
