Default how much floor slope can you have without noticing it?

The question being posed all those years ago is how much it
would have to slope for you to notice it without the aid of tools
or apparatus of any kind;either deliberately or by accident.

I genuinely think that 2cm in 4m would be noticeable. Maybe not just
walking along it, but when you put a run of kitchen units or a
wardrobe on it.


That's why they all have adjustable legs



Yes, but wouldn't it look a bit odd with the plinth much shorter at one
end than the other?


A one metre wide wardrobe would need 0.5 cm packing along one side so
it's vertical.


Maybe I'm wrong. I don't recall living in a house with that much slope
on the floor.


try living in a house built in 1911!
