"On" is correct in AmE, but I think "in" might be correct in BrE. We'll have to wait for Nona or MrP to answer this.

BelieverHi,

I'm sorry, Believe, not really. I suppose I could come up with some far-fetched sentence involving tiles laid in the first floor while plain carpet was used in the second floor, but it's not common and won't serve you well.
