Buckles, belts and sports equipment—that's where David and the team got some unexpected ideas for VIDGA curtain rails. "By looking at solutions from different fields of products, you can get inspired to find new ways of solving problems," he explains. That's how the team came up with the concept for VIDGA to click together using as few tools as possible. And there aren't any rice-sized screws to lose. "You still put it together yourself," Martin says, lifting an arm into the air like he's holding a curtain rail against a wall. "But you don't need to spend an hour and a half with your arm like this." So now you know how customers and clicks helped improve curtain rails. That just leaves the robots.

Love the VIDGA systemDanielaThis curtain system is so easy to install and it's a joy to use. The curtains glide smoothly from one end to the other without the brackets being in the way. After I installed the first one, I went back to get this system for other windows as well.
necessary for using other Ikea productKellyI am not sure why these weren't just included with the panel hanger you need these for. I ordered all the other parts and when I got them the directions said that I also needed to buy these. I just wish it had said so in the listing for the panel hanger.
Easy installTonjaVery easy and slotted arm makes hanging window treatment quick.
Great BracketFranciscoYou'll need these if you intend to install two rails. We installed a 3 channel rail on the back and a single at the end. It worked great. Very strong bracket.
I wish it also cameAnonymous reviewerI wish it also came in black.
I love the Vidga System!JenniferI just happened to find the Vidga track system and fell in love! I installed it in my living room and have gotten many complements (I have both Ikea curtains and panel curtains). The only downside is that some pieces have been out of stock, so it’s taking a while to get all of my windows changed to the Vidga system.
Beautiful and FunctionalGloriaThe blinds look fantastic. They roll easily in their track. Do wish they had a handle for moving them so they won't get finger stained. Having an installer was so necessary.

Love it 😍CarmenLove it 😍
Nice systemTraceeI had bought these in the past for my curtains and love the concept of how easy it is to add more rods. Nice way to make sure everything is even.
Bracket.TheresaVery easy to install. Working perfectly
Easy to installMarielyI used these to install the tracks for the sliding panels. It was easy to install, but did not include the required screws. I don't feell like you should have to buy the screws and expansions kit when all you might need is 4 screws and 4 expansions to hang a courtain.
Handy and easy to install.AnonymousNeeded this for my panel curtain, and works just great together!
Works greatAnonymous reviewerI have used these panels in two classroom installations on very wide windows (up to 153” long). I use 3 brackets per 55” rail, and it holds the rails very firmly. I have the brackets attached to the wall with 2.5” wood screws that go straight into the header board. Good installation of these requires you to know where the studs and header boards are as well as the thickness of your plaster or drywall. You can easily collect this information by hammering a thin nail into the wall; if you feel strong resistance, then you hit wood. As long as these brackets are screwed into solid wood, they will be a very strong support for your Vidga rails. For wide windows, be sure to get a good level and a chalk line so that all of your brackets will line up properly. These brackets can normally hold 7 rails, but if you cut off the vertical part at the end, it can hold up to 9.
Make sure you buy the right screwsAnonymousThese do not come with hardware to attach to the wall, so you have to figure out the right screws to buy. Based on another review, I purchased #10 1-1/2 flat head screws. The flat head is important in order to slide the screw covers on. While the #10 screws fit, I found that they were exactly the same size as the bracket indentation for the screw head. I struggled getting my screws into the wall because I was going into studs, and so it was difficult to get the screw heads to lay flat and straight on the bracket. Therefore, I would recommend a slightly smaller screw, like a #8 to give yourself a little leeway if they don't go into the wall perfectly. My other complaint is that the top screw hole is very close to the top bar of the bracket, which made it even more difficult to use a power screwdriver - there just isn't enough room. It would have been much easier if the bracket was designed to fit over a plate that was screwed into the wall.
bracketNataliaworks great with the rail.
love what they doAnonymousI love the panels that go on them. Really what do you want me to say about a bracket

Story
How customers, clicks and robots helped make better curtain rails
At IKEA, we want to create innovative solutions for a better everyday life that's easier, too. Take curtain rails, for example. Over the years, we've learned from customers that our curtain rails are good quality but assembling them can be complicated and take hours. In challenging ourselves to make a better solution, we never expected robots would be involved.
Product development engineer Martin Bo Zhang has worked with curtain rails for more than a decade. He uses lots of gestures and body movements when he talks. Martin lifts both arms over his head like a ballerina. He's showing how hard it can be to keep a curtain rail in place while assembling it at the same time."There are 30-50 small screws," Martin says. He brings his thumb and forefinger together, leaving space for a grain of rice. "This small." He keeps one arm up and reaches toward the floor with his other arm. "If a screw falls on the floor, you can't find it," he explains, "and good luck if you have a high pile rug." So how did Martin, designer David Wahl and a team of many at IKEA figure out how to improve curtain rails? First, they researched what customers and co-workers said about curtain rails that had been returned. They had workshops with lots of IKEA colleagues, too. Then they started looking at anything and everything but curtains.
A concept that clicked
Bring in the robots
Where are the robots, exactly? About an hour north of the IKEA home base in a town called Åseda with a population of roughly 2,500. A supplier there won the worldwide bid to produce VIDGA curtain rails, built a new factory and hired more than two dozen new employees. "Going from talking about the small things to being in the factory, looking at the conveyors going around the robots continuously working, is a mind-blowing experience," Martin says. The team was able to automate production with the robots because they designed every piece of VIDGA from scratch. In fact, since nothing like VIDGA exists on the market, we're applying for a global patent for the whole system—a rare step for IKEA. Will you need to call in a high-tech robot to assemble VIDGA curtain rails for you? Nope. You'll just need a simple allen key. Sometimes a better everyday life starts with a click.
Material
What is aluminium?
After iron, aluminum is the world's most used metal and has a very wide range of uses. It’s easy to shape and lightweight, but is still strong and durable. In our range we use it for things such as kitchen utensils, curtain rods and tealight cups. A big advantage with aluminum is that it can be recycled again and again without losing its quality. Recycling consumes only a fraction of the energy required to produce aluminum from new raw materials.

"When mounting curtain rails myself, I’ve often thought about how it could be made simpler. So when I got the chance to create VIDGA curtain rail system, I knew what I wanted to do. The new system needed to look good, and be as easy to understand as to mount with just a few tools. And I am very pleased with the outcome! I’m sure you’ll like the end result, when all your curtains or panel curtains are in place."
