How much slope can you put on a floor without people noticing it. My
guess is about 0.5 % (5mm in a metre).

Does anyone know what is the maximum slope that is not noticable?

There's no answer to that because it's subjective. A better question
would be "I'd like to put in a slope of X - would that be noticeable?"

My gut feeling is that I think you'd get away with a bit more than 0.5%

Unless the slope is gratuitous (am think Devon cottage) IME minor slopes
aren't noticeable (unless you play marbles) - what is noticeable are bumps.

My kitchen was 1.5" out over 5m. If it had been planar, I would have
saved myself a lot of trouble and left it. It wasn't, it had 1" bumps
over 2' which you could feel with your feet, hence spending a lot of
time and effort flattening (and levelling) it.
