English translation:reassuring solidity of materials
Explanation:
"Rotundidad" implies "certainty", in Spanish, I say so with total certainty.

I am not so sure on how to express the idea in English, but what I give you here is the exact idea implied in the original provided.

Suerte.

Actually, a good Spanish synonym here could be "contundencia", that is, "strength; intensity" if you wish. Even the "weight of the materials" could be a good rendition.

rotundity


Explanation:
Rotundity is the quality of being round or spherical. I think the term is a quite literal match for "rotundidad" (word which in spanish can refer to the shape of a building's floor).
